    Uk Mpg

    Cost me just over £1500 for the conversion (quotes ranged upto £2000), done by an approved LPGA installer I reckon if you do 10,000 miles a year you will start getting your money back towards the end of year 2 , so you've got to be looking to keep the car for a while or do higher milage to get...

    I appreciate all of the replies guys :thumbsup: , It's so hard finding info on the exploer over here in the UK , the last thing I want to do is let it go near to a Ford 'stealership' and be ripped off by some school kid who will just want to bolt on new parts :mad: . I've got a local garage...
