Thanks for contributing everybody, it all helps with choosing what path to take.

I reckon the bigger boot area in the D3 would mean you wouldn't miss the loss of space as much.

Remember if you have the 7 seats you will loose at least one seat. Also if you look at it it is often best to fit the tank running longways instead of across the boot area. Also think about the way the centre seat splits.

It will probably invalidate any warranty you might have.

If you are going for a D3, then JE engineering do a set up which (apparently) lets you keep all seven seats, but I haven't seen it, and with the JE the engineering is excellent and you pay for it.

When I bought mine the dealer recommended someone to do a conversion in the Mancheter area, can't remember who, but said that they would honour any warranty on parts that had not been fiddled with (eg suspension, electrics etc) and that the conversion itself should not cause any warranty problems on the engine unless it was poorly fitted. I understand that alot of Petrol FFRR's and RRS's have been converted fresh out of the showroom with no warranty impact.

LPG is the way.

I have a D2 with twin 40 litre tanks in the place of the old petrol one and a 9 gallon petrol tank. There is no loss of power with the multi point systems and you are so green its fantastic. CO2 yes but no Fuel impurities, no oil dilution/ degradation (you have a problem to see how much oil is on the dipstick it is that clean), and the big thing that no one talks about is pm10s, particulates that are smaller that 10 peco meters (thats 10,000,000,000,000 of a meter) these are so small that they are breathed in and go into the lungs and stick there, your body cannot get rid of them. Then they interact with your bod and can cause cancer. All cars running petrol emit these, even hybrids (when they are running on petrol):exclamation:

One thing about the v8 engine is cam wear on the outer positions - known problem caused by oil degradation from the fuel, if you change your oil every 2.4k miles your ok, but with gas its great.

I like gas - also if you go abroad, belgium ~27p L-1, and in poland ~15 to 18pL-1 !!!!!

If you have any other questions.........

Thanks for the offer Jeremy but I have to wait for my vehicle advisor to place me and a vehicle together first.  I would also have an LPG conversion done in the same manner as peter did. 

Once again thanks for the offer
