    I'm looking for good conversion LPG service in Dublin. Many garages offers conversion : cheap, expensive, good, bad...
    Many of them probably have no experience at all.
    If you have any experience bad, very bad, good etc. please help me and others.
    Thank in advance.

    yes read.
    lpgain looks good and professional, but only one positive opinion still does not convince me.

    One of my friend converted his Jag with one of garages in Dublin.He paid for conversion €850 and now have many problems, always new excuses, no phone answer etc.
    Before I spend money I'd like to know more opinions.

    The only way people are going to start getting in on groups like LPGain is if they start using it. You should ask them for clients they have had and what happens if something goes wrong with the installation, I'm sure they will be more than willing to accommodate you.

    Good idea would be to place the phone number to the owner of the car next to the images in the gallery.

    If anyone paid less than €1000 on a 6 pot LPG kit, you are asking for trouble.

    Parts alone for a half decent kit will cost €600 plus 1.5-2 days labour for a decent installation job. So expect a quote of 1100-1200 notes.

    one garage in Cork converted Lexus 460 with direct injection engine for the price 1650 euro.Good price?. The problem is there is no LPG Kit for this engine. Owner has a huge problem now. Be carefull.

    Is there a kit suitable for a BMW E24 (M90 engine)?

    You don't need a KIT. You need one of first generations autogas system

    I think most of E24 have fuel injection, so second generation conversion should be used at least (with mixer and stepper engine controlled by LPG ECU).
