Count, it is not that hard to do......

If everything goes to pan then i will be doing the CDX soon, what i intend on doing is trying to put together something with a few pics on install and fitting......

A front end kit is easy, i would have said a day and a half at the most, for me the most difficult bit was the blood pipe work and tank

Dam sight cheaper too -- that price was before the dreaded VAT!

Jay -- would be interested in seeing the pics and guide --- but THB I haven't worked under a bonnet for the last 20 years  -- back then the engines might as well have been clockwork compared to the Omegas !!!

engines are engines mate  Wink

there seems to be a bit of confusion with LPG kits, people seem to think that they require a high level of mechanical involvement.

the only thing that is required is to break into the heater hose and then drill and tap 7 holes (6 injector and 1 MAP sensor feed) in the inlet manifold, the rest of it is either parts fitting or wiring.

I am no expert but having done one i feel confident enough to attempt a second and would be happy to assist someone in the same way that James and Kevin have in the past

pretty much as soon as the CDX is running we start the LPG kit, i just need to get the thing to a point where we know it is good before we start adding extra fuel types to the equation
