SE London Red V70 2.5 10v Auto CNG (not LPG) with faults

[SteveSarre]

Hi all

We have had our Jan 1999 V70 2.5 10v Auto CNG (not LPG) for about 6 years now.
It has 200k miles
Engine Model B 5244 SG

I will sell it very cheaply (£200 - £300) depending on which parts I keep.

It has MoT and Tax till end of April and drives well.

Remember it is CNG (compressed natural gas). There are only about 6 places in the country where you can fill up. Some other countries like Switzerland and Germany also have CNG filling stations . If you are really serioius you can get your own home filling station. You can just use petrol at the flick of a switch. Tank sits behind the back seat, so you cannot get a full flat load area, unless you permanently remove that tank.

Bad bits
The power steering has a fast leak. You can top it up (I have 4 litres of fluid) but the system will run dry within an hour or two
A/C needs topping up every year, presume has slow leak
Radiator has slow leak - top up every couple of months
SRS light is on - I think that happened when I disconnected some of the wiring near the spare tyre when I was fitting the tow bar wiring kit (I should have disconnected the battery first)
Drivers door has fatigue crack near restraining strap
All 4 shocks are getting old
Rear bumper bashed
Rear wiper does not always park correctly
Alarm goes off in the middle of the night. I have replaced the siren battery, and tried different pillar senors - maybe it is the central sensor?

Good bits (some of which I may want to keep or sell separately - by negotiation)
Body panels minor scrapes but nothing huge
Headlight switch
Spark plugs leads and king lead
Top, side and bottom motor mounts
ATF fluid changed recently (still very slight lurch when going in to 2nd gear - I am just about the only person who can feel it)
Headlight lenses x 2 (the reflectors are in good condition)
Front side lenses x 2
2 good tyres (Champiro) - the other 2 are serviceable but worn
Recent new cam position sensor
Roof rails
Witter fixed tow bar and Volvo 7 pin electrics
Halfords battery
Load cover
Braided stainless brake hoses
Recent rebuilt starter from GSF
Fairly recent oil, air, plugs, dist cap pollen filter
2 remote fobs
Grey velour seats
Full set of tail light lenses (top right has chipped section at base)
Heater matrix was replaced a few years ago
Cam belt, cam belt tensioner and I think water pump were replaced a few years ago

Do you have a refuelling station near you (anywhere in London?) or do you have the home fuelling compressor for sale a well as the vehicle?
