340 GL for sale with more than a years mot!

Hi We have finally decided that our 340 Gl 1990 in white has to go. It passed its MOT this morning with no problems meaning that it is covered until the end of April next year! It is currently Taxed but I would normally send that back and SORN the car. I guess it depends on what interest we get in t...

gearbox part required

Hi again. Has anyone got a scrap manual 340 gearbox which they are going to throw away by any chance. I need the cover from the diff for my car. It has rusted and weakened just below the filler plug and now it is leaking a little. I imagine that I will need to remove it and then solder or weld it up...

Re: 340 GL for sale (a little unwell)

Hi

I have just uploaded a few pictures of the 340 on to my photo bucket account:

The interior is generally quite tidy although it does need my daughter to give it a clear out so I will add photos of this once its been done.

340 GL for sale (a little unwell)

Hi My daughters car had a little bit of a problem with its gearbox the other day. Please see my last post for more info on the demand section of the forum. Basically it is a good, low ownership car which needs a new bell housing and the front part of the gearbox to be well again. Relatively easy rep...

Re: very ill 340

I haven't really checked the gearbox mounts properly so I will check for rust or breakage. The car had only done 41000 when I converted it and it is very solid underneath having been a low ownership car before. I think a set of hoses and engine mounts new for it would be a nice little treat for it. ...

Re: very ill 340

Hi That all makes total sense. I must be honest, its a long time since I double checked the tightness of the pinch bolts on the clutch tube and the car has been covering a lot of miles over the last few months since my daughter passed her test. I think that there has been a little too much engine an...

Re: very ill 340

Hi Thanks for all your feed back. I agree that I should have been a little less vague in my first post. The car is a 1400, 1990. It was an auto when I first bought it but I converted to manual 6 years ago and its driven with no problems or strange vibrations for well over 20,000 miles. The gearbox I...

very ill 340

Hi I have just joined the forum because my daughter has a problem with her car and hopefully someone here might have some parts available. Basically the car was slowing down after a short duel carriage way drive thisafternoon and as she was coming to rest, the bell housing and the front of the gearb...
