Hello.
First sorry for my not perfect English (I'm not native speaker) :).
I'm interested in buying car in the UK. It'll be probably Audi A4 2.4. The 
price of the conversion to LPG for this car in the UK is about 1.4-1.6k 
pounds. It's relatively expensive when you compare conversion prices in 
Central European countries. I've quoted Czech Republic and Slovakian 
APPROVED LPG converters and they gave me the prices around 1-1.2k quids. 
It's a lot cheaper (few hundreds stays in my pocket). I'll drive this car to 
Czech Republic and I was wondering if I can convert the car there. The 
company have converted thounsands of cars during last 4 years, they are 
approved installers in Czech Republic, so I can be sure that they'll do it 
right :). Then don't know the differences between Czech and UK standards, 
but as I know the only difference is inlet type, but I can buy proper gas 
inlet in the UK.
What do you think about it? Does it make sense? Czech Republic and the UK 
are in the EU so will Czech papers be acceptable in the UK? What about other 
paperwork? And finally what about insurance and what about selling the car 
in the future? Maybe other aspects of the convertion?

Thanks!

John

A conversion in the UK must conform to UK Construction and Use 
Regulations. These are concerned with safety issues which are pretty 
universal. You could try the asking the UK Government Department of 
Transport if a conversion from another EU country is acceptable. We have 
lots of converted Polish cars around here so one might assume it is OK.

Some UK insurers will only take cars converted by an installer who is a 
member of the LP Gas Association. That is a UK trade body. Others simply 
require a certificate from a "competent installer" - can your Czech 
converter write a certificate in English?

As for selling, there are plenty of UK converted cars on the market so a 
prospective buyer might not be so keen on one converted abroad. Where 
for example would they get any spares or any help servicing?. So you 
might find it a bit difficult to sell.

How odd, do you think that any of the conversions performed in the UK
use equipment specific to the UK? All the components I have seen tend to
be Italian or Dutch.

correct...it's all i'tie or cloggy!! i live in the netherlands and as
i understand it, they are the leaders in lpg. every petrol station has
lpg, less than 50 euro cents. it's way cheaper to get it done here,
(www.allroundlpg.nl for example). they all speak english (o.k. you're
czek). i enquired about the insurance for the u.k. and my insurers
said as long as there is a certificate. i think the duthies can help
you with that. call them, arrange an appointment. www.transeuropaferries.com
to oostende, two hour drive to rotterdam. check it out.

A conversion in the UK must conform to UK Construction and Use 
Regulations. These are concerned with safety issues which are pretty 
universal. You could try the asking the UK Government Department of 
Transport if a conversion from another EU country is acceptable. We have 
lots of converted Polish cars around here so one might assume it is OK.

Some UK insurers will only take cars converted by an installer who is a 
member of the LP Gas Association. That is a UK trade body. Others simply 
require a certificate from a "competent installer" - can your Czech 
converter write a certificate in English?

As for selling, there are plenty of UK converted cars on the market so a 
prospective buyer might not be so keen on one converted abroad. Where 
for example would they get any spares or any help servicing?. So you 
might find it a bit difficult to sell.

How odd, do you think that any of the conversions performed in the UK
use equipment specific to the UK? All the components I have seen tend to
be Italian or Dutch.

correct...it's all i'tie or cloggy!! i live in the netherlands and as
i understand it, they are the leaders in lpg. every petrol station has
lpg, less than 50 euro cents. it's way cheaper to get it done here,
(www.allroundlpg.nl for example). they all speak english (o.k. you're
czek). i enquired about the insurance for the u.k. and my insurers
said as long as there is a certificate. i think the duthies can help
you with that. call them, arrange an appointment. www.transeuropaferries.com
