I wouldn't get too tied up in badges (as with cars a well marketed name may not be the best or most reliable) maybe ask your chosen installer, a reputable converter of long standing won't be misadvising you.

I don't know what system my installer used on my MB, all i know is it was made in Poland it works faultlessly and the car runs smoother on gas than it does on petrol, i'll use him again for my next conversion.

I used a small out of the way garage that specialises in maintaining classic cars, its Finedon Classic Cars in Finedon Northamptonshire.

Very happy to recommend them, you are not a nuisance once they've had your dosh either.

One thing i would suggest is to try and get an installer within reasonable travelling distance, the system will need recalibrating at least once after a few weeks or months and will require an annual service, my service cost me very little as the filter wasn't contaminated at all and Joe the Man doesn't grasp your money like a main dealer..;)

I have heard good things about the converter in Knebworth Herts too, and several others.

Of course modifying the fuel delivery system of your car is going to be a bigger gamble than staying with the factory designed one. But once people become aware of certain well-known acronyms, they won't settle until they've found a problem that they haven't heard of!

Thanks guys for your input, I understand that diesel maybe better as I do a fair few miles on the motorway. But i'm changing jobs soon, so the miles i do in travelling may decrease very soon.

So going doing the LPG route gives me that flexibility and not worrying about DPF's if i do shorter distances.

I think I will phone around a few installers and ask which would be the best car / lpg system to go for.

Thanks

I had a Lada 1600 converted to LPG in the mid 1980s - the system was Landi-Hartog, and it was excellent. A subsequent move to rear engined Skodas meant that LPG was no longer an option. I am still a Skoda driver, and am considering LPG for my next car. Surprisingly, Skoda positively discourages LPG conversions..... or at least they do in the UK. But, for example, in Hungary, Skodas can be purchased from new ready converted for LPG.

Which make me think that the low take up for LPG in the UK has little do with its undoubted financial and environmental benefits (for the owner) and a lot to do with the financial interetss of manufacturers and the petrol/diesel refiners and retailers.
