Various 360 bits

I took these bits off before I scrapped the car, it's been a while and I'm not anticipating getting another so I need to pass these parts onto someone that will actually use them. I only did 247 miles between getting it on the road and it going bang so they've not had much wear and some I didn't eve...

360 GLT for sale

Hi, I have to sell my 360 GLT. Unfortunately it's not a car I can realistically afford to run. Which is a shame after all the effort but I'm skint and there's no way I can afford the insurance and it's taking up room that could be occupied by something more within budget. Plus it lives on the front ...

Re: Official V3M 300 Spotted Thread.

I saw 2 today, one a grey 340 owned by an old lady down the road from me that hardly ever drives it, trundling northwards on the A358 from Taunton.
The other was outside the bowling alley in Taunton about 10pm, a silver 360 GLE with a spoiler and bonnet scoop, perfect condition.

Injectors

Hi, My 360 suddenly stopped working and wouldn't restart. I've checked the simple things like a lack of petrol in the tank, spark, fuel getting to the injectors and fuses and all is right. I borrowed a flashy lighty thing that plugs into the injector lead and no flashes. I've come to the conclusion ...

Re: hey guys!

Funnily enough my one came from Yeovil. Still got the dealer sticker in the window.
I'm in Minehead but by south west standards that's still close :) I'm six odd miles from Kaos. That's practically nextdoor.

Anti-roll bar

Hello, My car has just failed its MOT because the anti-roll bar is missing! And being on the bottom of the car I didn't notice. The right hand suspension strut has been replaced with the wrong one that doesn't have a mounting for the anti-roll bar so they've just left it off. So has anyone got an an...

I've had seven people trying to buy mine and one of them has tried it twice.

Ah well. The one I got is a Mahle OC 23 "micro star" one.
I think they one had that type in stock.

My friend's uncle's van's number plate ends in SHT.
How easy is it to sell a number plate cause I've got one that ends in SYD and apparently people will pay silly money for one that spells their name.

I think you're right about the duff information. I bought some HT cables from them for a "Volvo 360" and they were the wrong length.
Sorry for being thick but what's a redblock?
Thanks for your replies so far. I'll go there again today and see if one of them is the UNF one.

Oil filter thread

Hello, I've been working on my 360, done two of the tyres and I've come to replacing the oil filter. The parts place said they have two for 87 360s that are different threads, one was 20T or something and the other was a "U" something. Can anyone tell me which one it is or is it a case of seeing wha...

There was no note on it when we went to tow it. I dunno. The bloke I got it from whose drive it was was a bit weird, f***ed me around with the paperwork for months until I gave up and applied for a lost logbook, wouldn't be surprised if he took it and didn't tell me. I got it for £100. No, no taxi f...

Jeff, was it on a driveway in Porlock road (or Park road, never know which one it is) cause I did leave it there for months before my friend towed it up here for me. Kaos, sure thing James, don't worry, I haven't got much intelligence to insult ;-). Sometimes I do need bloody obvious things stated t...

Yes, I didn't know that's what it's called but it sounds about right. Kaos, thanks for the offer. Me and a friend are going to try and finish replacing the cam belt tomorrow and after that I'm not sure what I'll do next. We might not finish it so you could come and help me saturday if you want, or p...
