Re: Advice Please - Alfa - SaveLPG Oldbury Birmingham



Like i said, these type of people ( including yourself) i wish weren't involved with lpg as they move it down a level.

More regulation is needed, not less.

Are you reading any of my posts? All you seem to do is misread, then insult and then presume that I am at a lower level than you.

Yes, I ...

Re: Advice Please - Alfa - SaveLPG Oldbury Birmingham



So yes you are against any regulation within the automotive LPG industry.

Like i said, personally i feel the industry would be better without unregistered installs. Obviously that annoys you but that doesn't surprise me. It annoys me that there are people conducting installs in an unregistered ...

Re: Advice Please - Alfa - SaveLPG Oldbury Birmingham

The only people it doesn't mean much to are the unregistered installers and hard core DIYers (both tend to dislike/resent being on the other side of the regulatory fence)

Re: Flashlube on non LPG car

It is a classic case of trying to patch a fundamental problem with temporary stop gap measures. For eg: active smokers going to their GP/doctor claiming to be breathless. Ah yes, I know what the issue is, refuse to address it, but want other solutions to patch the problem. All temporary and wont ...

Re: Cayenne and Cayenne turbo?

I wouldn't touch Profess with a barge pole. But then that is purely my opinion, formed by looking at their own published work on their website. Looks a right mess. Some of the filler positions are diabolical. And no one converts any car of mine in a day. But then I do value quality and workmanship ...

Re: Mpg advice for potential Vauxhall Omega 2.6 owner

50mpg, sure and pigs can fly too.

The Omega is heavy and the V6 thirsty as are most V6's of that vintage. Mine is a 3.2, but the differences in the real world are small. 27 ppl on petrol and 17ppl on lpg is my current cost. On a full 65L tank and a pure Motorway run I can just about get 300 miles ...

Re: Lpg conversion for vectra c 1.8



Gilbertd - I suppose a lot depends on the installer, their efficient use of time, how many are working on the job. I know that some of the bigger businesses operate in a different way to the one man business. I am not in the LPG business - just a mere consumer. However I have been around many ...

Re: ECOTEC MANCHESTER

So how much does annual membership cost? Which is the question, isnt it? Presumably that drives the want to obtain more subscriptions? the £15 to place a car on the register is hardly worth it, as you rightly say. Also is it truly the customers that demand registration? I would think it is a false ...

Re: ECOTEC MANCHESTER

I can see why there are very few uklpg pro's on the board, as there is a general disregard for them from the diy lobby et al. I feel much of the disregard is cynical in its basis. It would help if uklpg represented themselves here.

Re: Bit of a rant about the state of the industry :)

Its all well and good saying that you would pay £2000 for a conversion, but realistically you would only pay market value based on your research... But thanks for saying so anyhow.
You are right, people are bound by price to solve outgoings, but going for the cheapest is false economy as we all ...

Been away for a while, in another country actually. Here its all V8s and V12s. But the Taxis all run on gas.

Sorry to see you rant Tubbs. But I think the problem is multifactorial. First of all is the general economic climate and lack of money. This drives people to look for cheap solutions to ...

Unfortunately shortening service intervals are not a viable option for me. It needs to be easy/fuss free to maintain, increasing the hassle is not the answer for me.
