Thanks Tom!
The LPG, so far, has been absolutely brilliant. The conversion was done when my father bought the car from me, and has been in it for about a year now. The system is an OMVL one with the latest injectors, at the time. It switches onto LPG pretty quickly from cold, within less than a miles, and once it's been used once in a day, if there's any sort of residual heat, it'll start straight onto gas again, which is great! The only regret is that the tank my father chose is one that sits in the boot, rather than under the floor, as is the case in both of my parents' LPG'd cars. I don't mind the filling of it with LPG too much, though I know some people find it irritating. I get through about £15 of petrol a month, but I do a big mileage. In terms of MPG, I'm not losing much at all. The conversion has definitely been worthwhile, and I haven't ever had any issues with it, as some people seem to have with LPG. The conversion wasn't the cheapest, but it was worth paying a bit more for such a tidy, and good quality one.
