They'll all be singing the praises of LPG when the Sausages are ready!!! :D FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]

Note the little difference between TDV8 and 4.4 V8 .:crazy: It will on the figures quoted, take roughly over 3 years to get LPG cost back, before you start to gain the benifit. :w00t: http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search/runningCostSearchResults.asp

At the same time those looking to keep the car in "display/ collector" state and/ or have other cars to run a daily basis state would prefer to keep as original as possible ,which is also understandable. Pragmatic versus purists .... there will always be a debate there... lets keep it high level though No one should be in position to judge what others should do or can afford or not ....Committee member or not...

" What a strange thing for a committee member to suggest to the Forum Members. if it makes your vehicle more affordable to run then why not convert it.

I've been doing a bit of digging re LPG (a friend was thinking of converting his '99 V8 Auto) and there appears to be reliability issues on older vehicles. Something to do with the carbon deposits in the engine leading to hot-spots and then damaging the engine. Basically, the recommendation I got was: Don't convert unless it's a new vehicle. Save your money on the repair bills and offset it against your fuel bills.

I have changed my FFRR for LPG, how ever I'm still committed that I will try to keep the vehicle as org as poss. However such changes are necessary. My FFRR will be going in for a LR mod to the rear diff on the 28 Jul. This is ensures that the rear diff is mod'd to stop the current slpine ware - should I not do this either? We have to move with the times and that may mean slight mods to our vehs. :) It's not a rant by any means, however fuel costs - and at £1.117 + a litre it's just too much :) Rgds Jules FFRR 2003 and 64 Series 2a http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html http://www.poppy.org.uk/[font=Arial][/font][font=Arial][/font]
