Has anyone done this ? was thinking about getting run flat tyres fitted and having a LPG tank fitted in the spare wheel well .

Sure people were talking about this before, don't bother with run flat tyres, there shite, very expensive, very loud! Just carry a can of Flat-Mate or summit!

Why you want LPG conversion!?

Personally i wouldn't touch LPG !!

You get piss poor MPG from it and a drop in performance !!

and it'll cost you at least a greand to have it fitted

Only plus side is it's half the price of petrol

This is BS, sorry, but with LPI you have no loss what so ever, you will even gain HP , while the LPG injectors can deliver more fuel in the engine.
An poor MPG, indeed 20% less, but with half the price

i had an LPG powered car when i was learning to drive it barely went over 50mph lol how embarassing! especially when the instructor was telling me to increase speed and my foot was on the floor lol

Run flats are crap! And you'll get an even harsher ride.
Not sure about LPG. I have a mate who runs a Volvo on LPG and it's a lot cheaper to run. It's dual fuel, half LPG, half petrol, when it changes from LPG to petrol the change in performance is not noticeable, but then again, it's a 1.8 Volvo! You'd probably see the differnece in an LCR.

There is a slight different, herd some where once running on lpg, loose around 10% performance
