He has made a very good job of it and I will post some photos.
the quotes I had ranged from £1600 to £2750.
I reckon I will pay for the job in 18months.
Living in Europe for the last two years with my X I seriously considered having it done as there were a number of folks in both Germany and the UK who performed this and the performance figures were exactly as you suggested. Having spent a lot of time in OZ it is also a popular mod on cars out there due to gas costs and lower running bills on LPG. Not sure what would have happened when I brought the car back to the US???
