I have 3.0 x5 petrol, converted to lpg. Cheap and cheerful. No real maintenance bar 2 year check.

Get an installer who ACTUALLY knows what they are doing though!

Besides servicing servicing every 12,500- 15,000 miles if its been done right it should be fine.

Stick to multipoint systems only IMO and be cautious when buying any Vauxhall Dual Fuel cars/vans as they can suffer from problems which cost vast amounts of money to sortout, saying that the same could be said for any LPG car but usually if someone has paid a good installer to do a conversion they take it back for regular servicing where as the Vauxhall stuff was left to the dealers to sort and they haven't got a clue what their doing so cars end up being used until they eventually go wrong.
