Yes i took it apart, and i checked all components in case something else had come loose or burnt out. The relay i checked all joints and all legs, relay is solidely connected to the pcb board. i checked the points on the relay and gave them a little clean as they were a little grubby. I was driving ...

checked that and found nothing wrong with it. i re tightened the nuts on the carb, checked all pipes for splits and that they are connected to something and all is fine.

any other suggestions?

well you seem to be in the 'know' so why dont you help me out! you called it a relay i assumed i was looking for a relay. ok ive found a picture of the electromagnetic vacumn valve, there are 7 parts to this, what you are talking about is the vacumn control unit? is this correct or am i still lookin...

ok,

im with you now! which relay would it be as my manual doesnt name all the relays. is it the inhibitor relay?

Hi,

I dont have a tacho meter in my volvo, i only have the clock and speedometer. im assuming this tacho relay is on the instrument panel?

further to my question, spoken to a Volvo mechanic who suggested that the clutch is slipping. Im still not convinced this is it as why would it only slip in autumn time and not the summer! Im still convinced that is has something to do with this 'low gear ratio switch' as the revs fix at a certain p...

if it was down to leads and distro, why would it only be affecting it in the wet and cold and not all season? and it did it exactly the same last year in the same weather

im in the south of the uk, basingstoke to be precise

also there is a switch next to the automatic gear select, what is this called? and where does it connect to? as the engine acts as if this is switched on but it isnt?

being that this is a cvt, could it be to do with any of the vacumns on the cvt?

it just seems very odd that it only does it in the rain or cold

the carb was overhauled about a year to two years ago, there was no dirt, muck or blockages at all. the spark plugs, leads or distributor i dont think have been changed since i owned it so ill have a look at those.

thanks for your help
