there's nothing wrong with those fuseboxes! 
in the seven years i owned the car, i only had to replace one fuse.
so we can rule that out!

hi there
think back to what happened to my old car last harewood meeting!  
when i got it back the coil pack plugs had the grease in them. i never though much about it when i put 2 new packs on a the turn of the year. i couldn't believe it when Stuart told me how many is used up so far!
i hope this is the solution.

Seems to have sorted it, done about 200 miles hard driving today and it was fine..
How was the V6 coilpack connected Andrew? i'm guessing the loom connectors didnt fit it and it was wired some other way?
its running great and I reckon in the last month its saved me nearly £500 with the LPG

hi stuart
glad your saving money!
the v6 pack (mondeo mk2?) was bolted through the back lifting eye. it used the rear plug and used 2 ht leads to the spark plugs.
bikerdon should still have it, if you need to try it.

No its working ok now, just wondered how the V6 one was connected to the engine loom, was it through the same two coil pack connectors or did they splice in somewhere else?

hi there
it only fed 2 plugs, but did use the normal loom plugs.
(i was told it came from a v6... maybe used 3 packs?)

A scorpio V6?
I had a look at the 24v one and you couldnt fit the 16v plugs to it, it would need some "modding"

Yep, it had a Flux Capacitor the lot!
It looked like Back to the Future vs Blue Peter
