greeneyes25 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 As far as I'm aware you probably could get it done, not sure how much though, thinking about doing this too, but y'know the government as soon as more people do it, the tax will rise....alot!
basskiddanny Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Theres hardly newhere to get LPG is there
greeneyes25 Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Theres hardly newhere to get LPG is there<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think most shell garages sell lpg, haven't really noticed any other garages selling it, here anyway
Matthew H Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 but by the time you have payed to get lpg put in your car, you have to do "x" ammount of miles to see the benefit, you might not even have the car by then.
Stu Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 It costs around £1200-1500 to convert as far as I know... why spend the money modifying a car if you can't afford the petrol?
Mk6 Si Ross Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 can you still get council/local government grants for the conversion, know you could when this all started. could have a spare wheel well tank and carry the wheel in the boot or get a roof rack n carry it on top of the car (seen it done thats why i'm suggesting it)
dave_20 Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 i think so av emailed bout 8 places bout it but only 1 got back saying that my car was unsutibale but am gonna keep trying
Escort boy Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I know a cabbie thats got a D reg merc which he has done this to. will be beneficial when people start barricading up the refineries to stop petrol being sold like they did before as a protect
