Re: What to do about my engine!

Mac, ill definatley have a read later. The brick wall im hitting though is that its way beyond my mechanical knowledge and mechanics think they know better and say just leave it its running 'reet' or say it doesnt warrant a rebuild etc, you get the picture.

Re: What to do about my engine!

Gotta love the 'anorakism' if you guys! It makes a refreshing change for a car forum! No sarkey scrap it comments! It idles quite poor and when the choke is applied it misses every few seconds.

What to do about my engine!

Not been driving my 1.7 340 for very long. I've stripped the carb down a bit today to find the base plate gone and the body twisted! Had problems with pier burgs in the past but nothing like this, I've just done the belts etc on the engine. New carb going on this week, an I likely to experience more...

Re: Inherited Volvo 340 GLE S/R

This is my car now! :) passed her not with only 1 advisory beginning of this month and after a service drove back to derbshire without missing a beat! She's had a good service and a clean up and is looking awsome! I'd love to know more about her owners and history etc if you can?
