It's great filling up for £30. On a price comparison it gives the equivalent of a vehicle doing ~30mpg. Can't recommend it enough Anne:D

Green conversions will offer a discount if we put a deposit down and seem very clued up' as this is their core business. I hope to vist them on Friday PM. I am going to check with CLS Dual Duel - see post above and get a 'feel' from them. Regards, Alan Alan BT08BTX (Beatrice) Atlantic Rising 110

I am having a hard time understanding the value of manipulating these vehicles in an effort to save a few dollars on fuel. I am interested in how others feel the impact of the modifications will be to the future value and interest in the G4 vehicles. BTW: Does anyone know why the US trials at the Nevada Passage were completed in White Disco 3's?

The average cost of petrol over here is currently £1.19 ($2.36) a litre whereas LPG comes in at around £0.58 ($1.15) a litre, that's a fairly significant saving even taking into account the cost of the conversion :w00t: Cheers, Mark S.

If the conversion is carried out correctly the only visible addition to the outside of the vehicle is the autogas fill up point. I know cos I've had mine done! £40 to fill up the tank, and at today's ever increasing prices thats equivalent to over 40 mpg (in a 4.4 l RR)! :) FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]

Also, it is interesting to note that the Camel Club (which is obviously our main reference point as we go forward) have many pristine vehicles as well as many 'personalised' ones.

There's a few arguments for & against and although you mention CTOC as a reference, you're probably better off using the classic car scene. Some people look at originality & want to see the vehicles in concourse condition. However, there are some that take a pragmatic approach to classics and will make 'modifications' for the sake of practicality. Personally, I don't like to see LPG conversions on cars like these. Ultimately it's your car & your choice to make.

Swapped to BRC unbelievable kit, not noticeable the swap over. Kick down hard and keep it down instantaneous response then swaps to Petrol over 5500 revs. The lads there very helpful and keen to get it right.
