C70 T5 - 140K miles and just switched to LPG - Page 3

Reading this thread i'm a bit surprised that none of you guys ever made your way up to North Wales to see Classicswede/Dai to get the LPG installed. When i looked no-one else in the mid/low price range i was looking for offered a better or more reliable install and having surfed the web ready LPG forums and volvo forums his name just consistently came up and when you read his threads he always knew his stuff.
Dai fitted my system (i travelled up to Anglesey from Kent) to my C70 2.4T and i've now done 35,000 miles in 18 months + with almost no problems. The car ran spot on immediately it had been installed - i'm down in Kent and i've not needed to see any local LPG people since then.
The only issue i had after about 20,000 miles was a failed injector which Dai diagnosed over the phone and i just swapped one over as i had a spare supplied by Dai.
The only other issue was coil packs and that had obviously nothing to do with the LPG side.
I've been looking at changing the car but if and when i do i know it seems worth it to me to go back to Dai to get to get it sorted - even if i don't stick with Volvo. I might have a go at home install using one of Dai's kits on an my other car (old mk2 MR2) but i'm not sure i'd do that to a car i need to get to work as the costs/risks of getting stranded aren't worth it.
Well, there you go - unsolicited positive feedback over!

Thanks for the read posters, great to see something on LPG as it was next-to non existent when I was back in the UK from 96-2001...
I've been looking for info on such systems for Volo motors for a while and came across this place when looking at AUX inputs...

Regards from down under,

Just been reading this post. I agree with Carcathan, you guys over in Wales should use Dai, Classicswede.
He converted my 855R to LPG, did an excellent job...& i live in Sheffield. His back up support is excellent as well.
The savings when on gas are well worth the investment. Also, when it comes to selling your car, you are sure to recover part of the installation cost. As i am sure any buyer will appreciate the lower running costs.
