Just picked up a mint T5, now wishing to convert to LPG

Obviously Dai seems to be the expert LPG man here and probably going to go for one of his kits, it would have to be fitted DIY though as the cost of getting to Anglesey and back plus the full price would be uneconomical.

So I have a few queries (perhaps Classicswede could answer here for the benefit of others)

1. Why should I chose one of his kits as opposed to a kit from Tinleytech or paying a bit extra and using a local company called ProfessAutogas to carry out the install for £1100 with a 3yr warranty on parts and labour?

2. How easy are they to fit DIY? The only problem I have heard about is drilling the manifold, any tips?

3. Are there any guides out there floating about for fitment on this model particularly with photos?

4. Are they easily mapped? As I have two maps on my existing ECU which would prove useful if I could have two maps on LPG too or doesn't it work like that?

5. Any other comments?
