    In a word, no.

    Unless you found a good used kit and fitted it yourself.

    I still have a soft spot for mi-16 405s (think some of the early facelift ones had the same engine, cant remember what they were called though, was before the 2.0 came in ) - would be hard (and not cheap) to find a good one these days though, I believe most will be in the scrapyard in the sky by now or have had their engines transplanted into a 205.

    Ballpark £1000 to £2000 for a fully fitted, tested, certified system, programmed to the V6 injection system.

    Makes sense to add it to that then.

    A did see one intersting cheapy though, 52 plate 406 estate, fsh, leather and not high miles, not tatty either. Nice met bkue colour, went for £375 plus fees.

    Like !!!! it does.

    £400 car and up to £2K for LPG, sounds like a quick way to the poor house.

    I was always considering putting LPG on mine, had a few quotes, looked on ebay on and off for years, and still didn't find one I thought was worth it.

    LPG is few and far between here as well.

    Bah, today was fruitless - that garage in Edinburgh was ridiculously dodgy and neither advertised car was actually there (but a few accident damaged cars awaiting repair were...)

    How many fruitless trips around the A720 will it take to make up the distance to drive to Newcastle once?

    I actually took the train, but I see your point :rotfl:

    (still the problem that if I drive to Newcastle, I need to tow the Picanto home :rotfl:)

    Have you tried the local supermarket boards? Or free paper from the garage? Even local shops.
