Default Lpg

Hi all,
I am new to LPG, although I do know a bit about it. I used to use it on my fork lifts years ago. Anyway, I have a 1998 V70 T5 which I am considering getting converted to lpg, although I have heard in the past through this forum, that the T5's do not like LPG at all. Is this true, or are there many out there that have successfully converted their T5 and have them running well.
I stay in East Ayrshire, and was wondering if any body knew of a reputable installer close by, that I could also go to speak to about his?

Regards
Stuart

You live close to my sister in that case.

There are lots of T5's out there on LPG. The older engine as you have there gives no trouble other than needing a capable kit.

This is what my engine bay looks like with the LPG system in place
