LPG Recommendation - Guy Lacey
Not 100% sure if they could help but try D&N Autogas on 01934-750-077 - they've converted all sorts incl. BMW M3's and BMW 750's and I think some large 4x4's.

The engine management light is due to the cut off of the injectors when on LPG and it sees this as a fuel fault I suspect. Not sure how they get around this.

The backfire can be sorted by using a "fart-flap" which is basically a pressure relief valve to prevent damage to the air-flow sensor.
