Also I have no idea which of the many kits to choose. For the safety of the Nation and because my wife says I have the mechanical ability of a chicken, I will be using a specialist installer in the Notts / Derbys/ Leics/ Lincs area! Does anyone have an opinion.

I used to have a Volvo 850 2.5 GLT which I had converted and found it excellent on gas, until it was stolen and burnt out!
My S40 was converted at 159K miles and has done 10K miles to date. My system is an Italian system BRC fitted with an auto lube system to protect the valves- for £1500 + VAT at Herts Auto Gas a little way south of your area - but they do supply a courtesy car while they convert your car - around 5 days to do the job. Very pleased with their work and the performance / timing on gas.
