[gjt100]

Hi Everyone, its been a while since i have posted. I hope you are all well.

Sadly my 260 is up for sale. My wifes hours have been cut for the winter so its time to reduce outgoings. I'm probably going to look for a zt/75 CDTI (this will be my 4th in the range!). Yes, before you say, i know it wont compare!

Many thanks. Not sure what happened there?

Hi Graham,

Sadly I am not in the market for another 260. I remember David having the car converted to LPG and I remember he was very pleased with it.

Do you know any details of what is wrong with the system? Just for interest. I have an LPG converted car, but it's not a 260.

Thanks

Hi Phil,

I dont have much of a clue really. For some time i thought it may have been more of a general engine problem and i had been replacing parts all over the shop (coils, plugs, EGR etc).

I think the car probably had a number of small issue's when i bought it which i suspect were down to David not using it for a while before he passed onto the trader. David told me it had been sitting for a while.

The car spent some time with Corin Messenger about a month ago for MOT and i think he was pretty impressed. Corin had a good look at the engine and could find no fault with it apart from the LPG not working. Because LPG is not one of Corin's specialties he wasnt able to look at it further.

It may be something as simple as the fuel trims are out, sticking injector or valve but dont really have any LPG knowledge, so am only guessing.

The car runs perfectly on petrol and i havnt tried the LPG for some time now as the tank is empty.

Regards

Graham

I used to have an LPG system on a Ford Scorpio about 10 years ago.

We had a few problems where it would cut out all of a sudden after driving on LPG, especially in the cold.

It was a long time ago, so the systems may have changed considerably. Get ready for a very non-technical description:

it turned out the problem was that not enough hot water reached the higher parts of the lpg engine bits, the bit that got very cold, it was easy and cheap to fix.

might be worth a look?

I had the same problem with an old Triumph Herald I had which was gas converted (25 years ago though). If I let the coolant run low it would allow the regulator to freeze cutting off the gas. After it did this to me a couple of times I made sure I always had petrol in it !!!!
