Re: Not 300 but -

Just a note:
There are slight differences between 440 and 460 headlamp units.
I got a 440 eggcrate grille for my 460T and it wouldn't fit into the headlamps properly. Not sure of there are any other differences, but woth noting.

B172 Tappet Shims

Hi all.

My 460 Turbo is sounding very tappety of late.

Presuming they're the same on the B18FT, I don't suppose anyone has a big bucket of tappet shims knocking about at the bottom of the garage?

Cheers,

Steve sm4

360 GLS

Right, I was hoping to take this :360: GLS over on VOC on myself: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=182510 Unfortunately, I was made an offer I couldn't refuse on a 460 Turbo, and and as I've already got cars spread all over South Manchester, I just can't take it. Please, someone give i...

Re: 360 PAS conversion?

Hi Mark,

Not got it yet, but that's the one I'm after.

Just trying to figure out the logistics of getting it home from Essex to Manchester, then finding somewhere to put it 'til I can get it MOT'd.

Lots of things standing in the way at the minute...

I need a 360 in my life!! :(

360 PAS conversion?

Hi all. Now I know this has probably been done to death before, but the search function... Well, either it's a bit shit or I've offended it somehow!! Anyway, I'm toying with buying an early-ish :360: GLS which, as far as I'm aware, won't have power steering. Being the kind of guy that would rather h...

Re: Grandpa

Now, I'd love to see The Who live! Found out the other day that my Dad, who is LITERALLY the most un-cool person alive, saw them live back in the day, also The Kinks, The Clash and all sorts of uber-cool bands! Shocked wasn't in it!! :shock: Enjoy the show, I saw Muse in Manchester a couple of weeks...

Ah, gets ya now! Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself. All that way from Manchester and he was a couple of miles up the road and I never knew. He even said later on he wished he'd known 'cos we coulda met up. Yeah, mine was identical to Nick's when I first got it - standard ride height, standard wheel...

Didn't know Nick lived in Aberdeen at the time or I would have met up with him! :(
