Re: 1.7 cutting out (any help be great)
Are the internal contacts on the dizzy cap okay - more specifically the centre carbon contact?
I recently had this issue and my dizzy cap was shot to hell.

Re: 1.4 carb needed ASAP!! Anyone help?
I'm speaking from experience, of course.
Couple of failed green box Lucas condensers on my Cortina failed pretty fast, NOS one (made in England) held up no problem.
It'd be worth fitting a new condenser though.

Re: 1.4 carb needed ASAP!! Anyone help?
Jon raises an interesting point about condensers, typically the ones you can buy these days are Chinese rubbish and don't last very long, it may be that someone has fitted one of these. As I said on Facebook, check the points gap and dwell angle too, it could be your distributor is worn, it's critic...

Re: only 100 360s on the road
Very few GLE 360s last time I checked.
Possibly even fewer MK2 GLE Saloons like mine!

Re: 1.4 carb needed ASAP!! Anyone help?
It sounds like you just have blocked jets. I'm not massively familiar with the DIR but is there a small mesh filter just before the float needle? Really you don't need a new carb, just strip it down and blow all the jets out with an air line. Once rebuilt fit a new fuel filter if you haven't already.

Re: Contacting Classic Swede?
I only have good things to report about Dai.
He's a busy man I think but I'm sure he has a contact number you could call him on.
He's quite active on Facebook, and normally replies swiftly on there.

Re: Volvo 340 uprated propshat
If you uprate the propshaft, the bellhousing will crack instead.
Also if the propshaft is any heavier than the standard prop you'll knacker gear synchro cones.

Hi Dean, Steve has now paid for the wheels so I'm afraid they're definitely sold.

Re: 1st time Volvo owner :)
I was looking at that one on ebay.
The interior is so grim coloured - I love it
