hi everyone.
I don't own a volvo, and I don't run it on LPG, but I am interested in running an LPG car. The family is getting bigger, and I'm going to need a large estate/SUV/Dad van to carry everything, and was searching the internet for some advice, and your forum looked the most informative.

I would have no probs buying a nearly new volvo, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to the best models to look at for this purpose, or if anyone had any experience of running other makes and models on LPG.

I saw a couple of people had reservations over the XC90, and some others said Japanese cars generally didn't take it well, but all advice would be greatly received.

Cheers
I

But will never be a cheap as a LPG one to run. The derv engine also makes way to much noise for my liking.

The V70 would be a good choice but if your going quite new the XC's would be fine. Probably best to stick with a n/a rather than tubro but either will do.

So far I've never had a problem with any of the newer volvo's we have done but we do now use valve saver on them just in case.
