The front brakes only seem small because there is fashion trend for bigger brakes on modern cars. There is no standard upgrade and I do not think any are necessary. They are fine for the weight of the car, 300s where considered to have good brakes in the day, its more the engine power and time spen...

The drivetrains are pretty much the same. The bodyshell is different (same as 360). Best thing to do is to sit down with a copy of the parts book (go to http://www.born-built-beauties.eu/ to download) or a find a copy of VIDA and compare the part numbers. If you do buy a cheap D16, let me know ;) T...

Hi, I have a 85' 1.4 saloon with manual transmission. But i want a B18FT engine swap. Now the problem: in our country it's impossible to find 1.7 340 or this car part's (Hungary). BUT I can buy cheap a diesel 340 car (~110-120GBP). This drivetrain is similar to the B172 petrol model, right? Can i us...

Thank you guys. I'll try the dealer option.

Keys are one part that are still available from the main dealer. I can be done off either Registration or the key number

I don't have the key number where should I register?

Hi.
Where can i find volvo signed keys?
The new one open only the door (i dont know how).

To help you decide if you need more work - The choke pull off diaphragm only takes effect when on full choke - it slightly opens the choke flap when just opening the throttle to introduce a little extra air under full depression conditions. As soon as the engine starts to warm up and you start to "...

I finished the reassembly, special thanks to Mac. sm4 (but maybe need me a new choke pull-off :( ) I Screw the idle mixture screw in fully and back it out by two turns then more two or three (I don't remember) because i hadn't got smooth idle on operating temperature. It's not too much? The car is m...

Well - your full load enrichment diaphragm is definitely split!. The choke pull off actually does not look too bad - the "crumpling" is normal - the key is does it leak? When you reinstall the full enrichment device cover make sure it's positioning is correct - the W symbol does NOT sit horizontal....

My pleasure, Any further questions - just ask. Mac. I couldn't wait.

I wont separate the primary and the secondary je...

Assuming the choke pull off diaphragm is not punctured or otherwise damaged it can certainly be re-used no problem (they rarely are damaged) that certainly is a cheap kit! - in the UK something similar would be £30 - £35 GBP. As for cleaning - I usually say "magic" or "trade secret" but actually un...

10 l/100km is 28.2mpg. (Imperial UK gallons are bigger (4.546 l) than tiny US ones (3.785 l) It's still poor for a manual. Oh sorry, I used online calculator :D Yes, very poor. Our other car is a Skoda Felicia 1.3MPi do 50 MPG The rebuild kit will be quite suitable (although I notice it seems not t...

Is this a UK car? - does it really have a type 104? Mac. Thank you for your answer. This is a Hungarian car, with a 72 Hp engine. This would be the B14s? I'm not sure that is a 104 but I did not find any information for 105 or 110 carbs. Otherwise consume a lot of fuel. 10L/100km ~23 MPG and not ve...

It's a decelerating mechanism

I didn't think that part was fitted to a 32DIR 104 - 100 used on MY84 & MY85.

Oh, and what is that decelerating mechanism function?
