I've just been looking at a vehicle that has a gas conversion, but no
accompanying certificate. NFU Insurance say that I would have to get an
independent report on the installation.

Would there be a best way to find someone to carry out the inspection
and write the report? Any ideas on the sort of price one should expect
to have to pay?

The vehicle in question is a '92 Disco with 3.5i engine, but really this
is with a view to knowing what to expect if the question arose about
another vehicle in the future..

before i converted mine norwich union said they would want a
certificate - but they never asked for it when i told them it was
done!
any LPGA listed installer will probably be happy to certify it. Going
rate is an hour or two of labour at my local place so im told.

List here:

say where you are and someone will probably be able to recommend a
good local.

Thanks Tom. That list and info is very helpful. I'm in the
Merseyside/Wirral area.

The problem would, of course, be that, in the event of any unfortunate
incident on the road, the insurer might want to see the certificate.

Try Liverpool and Victoria for a quote, they were cheapest fro my RR, and
they don't ask for any sort of certificate, and were happy to insure a DIY
conversion with no inspection.
