I would say as his location is London converting to EV is the answer to get round the stupid ULEZ and keep the landrover that is much loved,
Not sure if that would work as as far as I understand, the ULEZ levy is based on the the emissions standard the vehicle met when it was first produced, irrespective of any subsequent conversion. Lpg vehicles aren't exempt from my reading but it's not clear as there is a provision for conversion....from the TFL website

Convert to Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
If your vehicle has been converted to run on LPG
you may meet the emissions standards. However, the emissions standard of the engine will be considered to be the same as it was before it was converted.
If you have
replaced the engine with a spark ignition (petrol) engine as part of an LPG conversion, the emissions standard of the new engine will apply. You must tell the DVLA of this type of engine swap and send us proof that the new engine meets the standards.
We recommend using a
UK LPG-approved installer. Our LoCITY programme has an up to date
map showing LPG refuelling infrastructure in and around London.
Retrofit: convert to Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Converted vehicles will be treated based on the DVLA's records of its emissions standards. This means diesel vehicles should be converted to use LPG in a spark ignition engine, and the DVLA notified of the change.
However, Oliver Lord, principal policy adviser for planning at Transport for London said: ‘ULEZ requirements are
based upon the Type Approval status of the vehicle (i.e. the Euro standard).
An aftermarket LPG conversion does not change the type-approval status of the vehicle. While an LPG converted petrol vehicle may have lower emissions than a similar diesel-engine vehicle, these are typically higher than pre-conversion petrol vehicle, so there is no air-quality benefit from these vehicles over that of a three-way catalyst equipped petrol engine.’
That's stuffed it
Was thinking about lpg-ing my V8 but I don't drive to Lunnun and don't do enough miles to warrant it.
Shame the OP went as I would have liked to hear more about his EVLandy. We could be friendlier to newbies, he was only asking
Hello @
Cineman you still lurking....?
