I would appreciate any advice on an intended purchase. 2006 HSE V8 petrol, converted to LPG in 2010, 76k miles FSH, 1 owner, jaguar engine. Purchasing from a trader so sale of goods act protection. Price is 13.5k.
I think this is a good deal, but I have some concerns over the effect of the LPG conversion on the engine. Unsure how many of its miles on LPG, but I'm guessing around 30k. Any thoughts/experience/advice would br very useful. It will be a 2nd car so I don't expect to do any more than between 6 and 7k miles per year in it. I do very few short runs, usually 25 miles plus, and would expect to keep it around 3 year. Obviously, I can use petrol to avoid damaging it (further...) but would rather use gas. If I do damage the valves/seats, how much of a pain/cost is it to whip the heads off and replace valves/seats? I would be likely to use a local LR specialist who charges 40 plus VAT per hour.
Thanks in advance
