Hello all, i hope you good folk can help me upon my way. I run a 98' p38 4.6 hse running on lpg. I have owned the car since april this year and on two occasions the car has overheated. Once on its first run down the m6, after an hour of travelling at a steady 70mph, we pulled into traffic, and after 5 mins the temp gauge rose up to the red, i pulled off and the car cooled. All was well, until today, after a steady drive through town traffic the car came to a halt where it stood on tick over for about 5mins when the temp gauge again rose to red, it cooled and drove ok. In the time i have run the car ,the temp gauge reaches halfway and stays there, plenty of coolant in the system, top hose isn;'t too hard, water passes through small hose to header and other than two occasions has run faultless. Now i know im not expecting a specific how to fix, but could anybody ,who hasn't fallen asleep by now, point me in the right direction.

Ok , Here we go..First of all Hello and thanks for a great forum.
Just bought a TD4, When i bought it Engine running when i got it home needless to say it wouldn´t start , i had to start it with a squirt of brake cleaner (Happy i wasn´t).
Removed injectors,One leaking badly three so, so. had them refurbed and also put new o ring in high pressure pump regulator, Starts on the button.
NEXT...
Got AC charged , fans not running. could this be the ECM attached to the fan cover or some kind of temp sensor , If so where are they as i can´t see any and i really don´t want to take the manifold of again for no reason..
Thanks in advance.
