hello does anyone know what the best lpg kit or the recomemend one for a v8 430 year 2000 s class. she has big miles but its still worth while doing the job as the body is 100%.also the engine still running smooth and she doesnt use a lot of oil.

I've got an OMVL system on my C280 V6 and it's been great, no issues whatsoever. My installer told me to steer clear of the Polish systems and stick with the Italians.

I had mine converted last year using a 'cheap polish kit' and to be honest it has been faultless over the last 15k miles. To be honest for the more well known kits you would be looking at maybe a £2500 +vat install cost. Mine cost £1000 inc VAT (98 CLK320) installed by www.professautogas.co.uk/index.html

They converted my car in one day – I dropped it off in the morning and they gave me a courtesy car (it was a crap saab 9000) and I went into Cardiff shopping for the day. Returned at 6pm after they called me ant it was ready for my collection. Workmanship was good and overall I was happy with the job. I have spoken to a few people who have used them and heard nothing negative. The cost, speed and warrantee make these cheap kits a viable option.

As an aside I had a jag converted a few years back with an expensive Italian kit and 18 months after conversion the ECU packed in!
