Hi gents, finally got some spare cash together to lpg the 72 rrc which is on su carbs. going for a tank in place of the spare wheel as I do use her offroad so underslungs are not good.

Last time I asked Tinly tech were recommended as the best place to get a set up for me., is that still the case? they are not particuarly local so they would need to be worth the effort.

I am looking at fitting it my self and then getting it certified. I seem to recall on wheeler dealers there was a place that did that as part of the prcie of the kit for a home install. was that tinley?

Ideally I want a place in hampshire or near by so its easy to sort any problems, so any recommendations greatly recieved.

Many thanks

Blaze are good, they look after mine and I've had very few issues with the LPG. They're on Hullavington Airfield which isn't very close to you but could be worse.

Tinley will charge you for the test. It's £50 if IRC.

You MUST make sure that the tester is qualified to put your car on the UKLPG register. It's getting very popular with the insurance companies (who set it up), and you'll be limited to who will insure you if your car isn't on it.

Any Autogas installer should be able to inspect the thing and certificate it for you. Just some don't want to. I suggest you Google a Autogas installers and email them. Also you should ask the question on here...

LPG Discussion Forum • Index page

Someone on there will know. I've just started converting my P38 today. The tank is in, and then the rain started!

thanks guys, I will get on that forum and ask who knows who is good and local. I heard my most local guy hates range rovers and wont certify an install he hasnt done

Damn rain, I am waiting untill we move and I have my garage built to do the install but I want to buy it soon as things only seem to get more expensive!

If I can find all the bits i have a lpg set up i bought to fit to my jeep when i had it. Never got round to it, then got the RR. It a single port set up with cintroller etc for 6cyl injection. but in sure the system will be ok for carbs. I have a look for it all (between 2 garages) and let you know if your interested.
