welcome mate...personally not a fan of LPG as a mate of mine in the motor trade says it knackeers the valves over time plus all the ones i look at in car ads always seem not to be working, also they need extra servicing each year....I had V8 Discovery once and was gonna put lpg on that but the cost £1500 and just to get the money back i would need to drive the car for 2 years then i would see the cost chamge ...personally not a bad idea on big engined cars like 4/5 litres but small engines i think it might be a long time before you see a return on what you paid for it.

Welcome mate.

As said, there is not point that I can think of of having an LPG small engined car.

Agreed you have to do 15k a year to see any benifits,for a weekend toy,it would spoil it.1.9 is a cracking engine
