Asked by Paul Tarrant
I have an SV22 four-cylinder Toyota Camry with 260,00-plus km on the original engine and I was thinking of having it converted and taking advantage of the remaining $1500 government subsidy. Is it a good idea to do this so late in the life of an elderly engine? Are there any issues likely to manifest themselves where an engine has spent all of its existing life on ULP? It's an older car now and I'm not sure spending thousands have the engine done up really makes sense.

5 May 2011It depends on how long you plan to keep the car and its condition. If it is in good condition and you plan to keep it for four to five years minimum then it could be a worthwhile thing to do, but if it's not in great shape and you don't plan to keep it then it certainly wouldn't be worth it. The problem is that it is an old car and you can't predict what problems you might have in the near future. I wouldn't do it.
