better matching to modern engine management, potentially more accurate fuel
control, no risk of backfires blowing up modern plastic manifold/plenum on
engines thus equipped.
apart from that, not much, and they cost more.

I have an OMVL Dream. It runs as well on Gas as Petrol.
Even when using sport mode on auto.
I converted it from a single point system which I wasn't very
happy with. I couldn't get it to work very well.
You can just about hear the injectors clicking when your head is burried
under bonnet.You can't hear a thing when bonnet is shut.
Hope this helps

Why do I suspect the answer is "Lots"
I've been pricing around for an LPG conversion for my Lexus - V8 with a
plastic plenum - and I'm getting quotes in the £2k range vs less than 1k
for the Range Rover when asked.
Sequential LPG costs £££

This is why I reckon it's only worth fitting if you have an engine that
really needs it. The gains in efficiency compared to closed loop single
point *IF* the latter is set up properly are slight, and it'll take a long
time to pay for it, if ever.
Now, if you could set up liquid-phase gas injection, it'd be more likely to
give better results - would also not need a vapouriser. I keep wondering
about trying this in a petrol injection system - the old Bosch K-jet runs at
about 5 bar, ISTR, which is not that far off LPG liquid pressure. It'd need
recalibrating, is the main drawback, which would probably preclude runnign
on petrol. However, that doesn't mean you can't have a second injection
system which is what you get anyway with SGI.
Dunno if anyone's doing anything in this respect.

I've been told to go for a 735 beemer instead by a mechanic - he said the
Jag would just rust before my eyes
My sensible head says he's right and go for the beemer - but i love the
look of the post 95 XJ !!!!!!

True, if I bought the beemer I'd only keep if for a couple of months I
don't really want one - it just makes for a better buy than the jag
reliability wise. I'm sticking with the 3.2 though - should give me 40 MPG +

My 95 XJR was pretty reliable and had no rust. Parts were horribly
expensive (£1100 for an exhaust system for example).
Only fault was when the gearbox decided it was broken (it wasn't) and
stuck itself in third gear. Amusingly, performance was virtually
unaffected!
V8 version would have been even better - more powerful and 5 speed
instead of 4.
7 Series was utterly soulless and uninteresting by comparison.

I've got a 3 series (2001 E46) with the 3 litre diesel and steptronic
5-speed autobox, it is definitely NOT soul-less and uninteresting!! 0-60 in
8 seconds, 38mpg local running, corners like it's on rails! Must admit,
never driven a 7 series, bit too barge-like for my tastes.

P.S. the 330dSE is for sale, bought a disco2!

Chalk and cheese IMHO. I've never thought the BMW feel of sportiness
and balance worked well in the 7 - it's neither agile like a BMW nor
imperious like a Jag / Merc. The 3's and 5's I've driven have been
superb, although I've not tried any of Bangle's creations. If the
dealers weren't such cretins I'd have owned one of each by now, but as
I refuse to believe owning any car is 'an honour' (as Merc and BMW
seem to think) I cannot seem to have a sensible discussion with them.
New 3 remains very tempting - the 2 litre diesel is a match for Audi's
2.5. I'll probably hang on and see what they come up with as a larger
diesel for it, especially in Touring guise. There's allegedly a
petrol 335 with turbo coming out which is almost on par with the last
M3 for power.
XJR is available for pocket money (well, not quite) - V8 worth the
extra but the 6 is still very swift. Worth having if only to upset
Impreza drivers with. Awesome pace and really easy to drive. No room
inside, horrendous costs for dealer service and drinks like a rabid
dog...

Mine will be soon as well. Supposedly sold, just have to arrange a suitable

hmmm. email today about "have just realised how far it is, will have to
arrange something re: collection" followed by another (about 3 hours later)
from the woman's husband saying she'd just had an epileptic fit (having not
done so for 2 years) and won't now be wanting to buy, and please don't give
negative feedback.
well now. The timing is rather handy. but even granting that it's fully
legit, they've still agreed to buy it. I'm prepared to be flexible about
collection if their circumstances are currently difficult, but if they don't
buy it they get a negative, I'm afraid. If my circumstances suddenly
changed after I'd contracted to buy something, I'd not expect that this
would be viable as a reason not to complete the deal.
Nor was there any secrecy about where the motor is located.

hmmm. email today about "have just realised how far it is, will have to
arrange something re: collection" followed by another (about 3 hours later)
from the woman's husband saying she'd just had an epileptic fit (having not
done so for 2 years) and won't now be wanting to buy, and please don't give
negative feedback.
well now. The timing is rather handy. but even granting that it's fully
legit, they've still agreed to buy it. I'm prepared to be flexible about
collection if their circumstances are currently difficult, but if they don't
buy it they get a negative, I'm afraid. If my circumstances suddenly
changed after I'd contracted to buy something, I'd not expect that this
would be viable as a reason not to complete the deal.
Nor was there any secrecy about where the motor is located.

would be, indeed, although it does appear after a further email that it's
genuine.

To make things more amicable - I'd ask for the listing plus final fee to be
paid, did you have anyone bid a lower amount? second chance offer ?
