Well I have been advised between £6000 and £8000

But I would try to let go for less, to a good home.

Dai has a load of photos.

Not very computer photo download skilled. Still trying to figure out what a UDL is

I will have another go!

Default Thanks for your PM Chris M

Has my private message got through?
Anyway the answers you were looking for:
Yes the 245 GL has a B230E engine. The B200E was replaced at 496,000 miles.
It currently has 812,000 miles on the clock.
The MPG on LPG is 22. On petrol 27.
It is at my independent Volvo specialist at the moment to fit a new liquid/vapour converter, and check the petrol system through.

Thanks. No, the PM didn't come through but now I have a clearer picture. Do you intend to include the spare engine in the sale?

Cheers, Chris
