Umm... Not really, I think they were £45 from volvo but it's not much use to me so just want it shifted. The plan was to replace it at somepoint, but car got nicked before I ever got around to it :( I've got a box of odds and ends back at my parents too, might have a nosey and offer the good bits on...

Windscreen sealing strip

Genuine volvo part, still in genuine volvo bag. Part #3285940. Any offers?

I live in London so could carry it relatively central if you're interested.

I've also done this, can't remember precisely how I did it but undoing the bolt holding the central locking motor to the door gave it enough play to remove the circlip---I don't think I removed the rod from the central locking motor itself. The rest I think was the lift-handle-and-wiggle that the ha...

I used to solve the loose boot lock problem my always keeping the boot locked :)

Course, one day I forgot and despite rummaging around in the doctor's car park for ages, never found it. :(

From what I know foggy is right. What the haynes manual calls the fuel filter is the vapor separator (least, that's what the local volvo garage says). I've never actually opened it, so couldn't say for sure. Mine has this big cylindrical thing bolted to the front of the engine compartment as well as...

I'm round that side of the M25 next weekend (well, will be provided the car works!), and I do like the free part :) sorry Jarlidge!

Nev, will give you a ring once I'm sure of plans, but are you likely to be about Saturday afternoon?

Cheers,

Rear external door handles

Has any got any lying around? Both of mine don't work, removed one of the handles to find that there was nothing attached to the arm that pushes the lock open, and a rather obvious snap mark (I was going to take a photo but forgot). Maybe possible to remove a bit of the doorhandles, but had no worki...

My personal choice is to do a search on "Volvo (300*, 340*, 345*, 360*) -Haynes". The bits in brackets will search for one or the other, the star at the end of 360 will mean it'll find 360GL, 360GLE, 360GLT, etc). I already have 2 haynes manuals, don't need anymore, so the -Haynes stops most of them.

Just pulled the needle off on a broken speedo handily lying next to me, it looks like it's just supposed to pull off. Certainly goes back on again, but you'll have to line it up roughly with the 0mph stop.

I'm at something like 170 000 miles, but to be honest that's mostly guesswork (odometer broke twice....).

I think it's the revs failing to drop rather than the revs actually rising on their own. It doesn't drop back over time whilst the car is sitting though, it only sorts itself after you get going again for 5 mins or so. Yeah, 4000 is a fair bit worse! Even so it's mighty worrying when stuck in a vast...
