I am buying a 04 reg 260 Mk1 SE with 45K on the clock. Its in XPower Grey. Pick it up on Tuesday afternoon. Tested it on Saturday (big grin) slight stone dents in bonnet (can fix). otherwise paint in good condition as is the interior. Engine really smooth though I did think it took a long time to start up the first time from cold (Is that normal or is it because it may have been standing around for a long time). I have traded in my ZT CDTi 135+ auto which is modified up to 170bhp with a 122K on it. Same shape and colour/style.

Always wanted a 260 when they came out. Got mine for £8450 from up in Lancashire near ecclestone.

Have a couple of questions please guys. I believe these engines have timing chains not belts. How easy is it to change the spark plugs and how often should I change the gear box and rear diff oil?

Looking forward to Tuesday and a 125 mile drive home to Worcester.

Plan to fit LPG in the near future as I do a lot of driving (thankfully with a good mileage allowance). Any issues with doing this that anyone knows of.

Thanks,
