Hi Mark,

go on then, if it's for sale I'll take it!

Looks like aftermarket brake rotors may have caused the failure. Still waiting on the diagnosis here ;¬(

In Redhill, Surrey driving through: F104 DGP a 1.7i 340 5 door, light blue almost mint. Elderly couple driving. Not a smokey old banger at all - very nice.

R/H side - domed grease cap. Agree, anything of the correct diameter would fit but these things aint exactly lying on the ground around these parts waiting to be picked up. I fashioned one out of a toothpaste cap, and it's going to be stuck on as a temporary fix. Beetle ones look to be the same, but...

...anybody got one spare? Not after one free - more than willing to pay! Stuck without it as the bearing grease just washes out otherwise. I'm counting on you Volvo 300 people to help!

Hi, sure they've not finished the job - they are now but the sticking point is the bloomin' cap. They've got the car back, and are replacing the bearing but without the cap that's it isn't it? I'm not going to pay for the work, but I can see that neither am I going to get the car back! Hence why I'm...

Does anybody know of an alternative wheel bearing grease cap? The garage lost mine and the car's no good without one. Prepared to buy a whole stub axle if needs be!

Or any known alternatives!

I had the brakes done on my 360GLT the other day, but didn't spot that the muppets had left the bearing cover off. Result one collapsed bearing. Naturally nobody has this part in any more. Without it the car is a write off - so can anybody out there in 300 land help me save my car? Dire need as I ne...

Didn't mean to hijak the thread and turn it into a saloon debate!

Makes me feel better that there's more than one left for some odd reason. Mine's got 130,000 up and looks it. Yet the poor dear keeps on going. My children used to call it "Rubbish Car" as it was expected to go into a skip within a year of my buying it. However it gets a bit of welding each MOT and ...

Can't find any photographs - I'll do some during the week and blog them up. Can't be too many saloons left now can there? Do hope my nail isn't the last one.

You don't want to see it - bit on the ratty / rusty side :( Pondering on getting the rear arches done this year, but familiar story - work may go belly up so saving my beer tokens for bread and water around Christmas time. I'll see if I've got any photos, but I've no idea how to put them up. May be ...

Checked and there are 29 Volvo 360 GLT left on the roads - and what look like ten SORN. However mine's a saloon and it didn't show that level of detail on the web page. Is it possible that I have the only one left? Come on, fess up; do you have a 360 GLT Saloon??
