340 auto wanted

Hi all

Anybody know of or have any presentable and tested 340 autos in a 5 door for sale? Would consider a manual for the right price.

Cheers.

Re: O/S/F suspension leg/strut

Cheers.

It's quicker and cheaper to try and source one complete for a straight swap and make the car drivable.

O/S/F suspension leg/strut

Hi all.

Can anyone help with an off side front suspension strut at all? Must have the spring, shock and hub please, but doesn't need to have the brake disc or calliper.

Bottom plate has rusted to shit on mine and spring now rubbing on the wheel.

Cheers.

Re: CVT clutch

I had thought about having it relined as my brother did this recently for a Saab he was working on, but unfortunately it needs to be done within a day as it won't be able to stay in bits on the ramp as he needs it for other work and I'd like it done in one go so I don't have to do it in stages.

CVT clutch

Can anybody point me in the direction of someone who can help find a clutch plate that is the same or very similar to the one on an automatic.

Thanks.

CVT noisy

Hi all. Today I changed the belts on my Daf 66 variomatic as the ones on it were I'm sure near the same age as the car and they were stretching every 200 miles or so and I was having to retension them. I wish I'd not bothered. I used second hand belts and now there's a horrible noise coming from the...

340 sills

Hi all.

I just wondered if anybody was breaking a late 340?

I need the rear part of the sill and the inner wheel arch and outta arch for the off side. Just wondered if someone would be willing to cut it out?

Cheers

CVT belt cleaning.

Can anybody suggest what I should use to clean my belts and pullies? In my wisdom I decided to pressure wash the secondary drive unit and oily cover while I washed the car. I'm convinced I just sprayed oily water onto the belts and pulleys and now it just doesn't sound the same. The belts seem noisi...

Re: CVT problem - gear up

Can you hear whether the EMV is opening and closing as you reb the engine? The plunger in there often has the end brake off and even if the valve is operating the little bit of rubber stays suctioned into place therefore not opening in affect.

340 parts/CVT

Has anybody got any blue front head rests for a 1986 340 please?

I'm also after the dash with the econometer and outside temp gauge or those units to put in my current one.

There were some other bits, but I can't remember what. Lol. Oh, CVT drive belts??

Re: 340 1.4 manual, rattle from bell housing area.

Yes it is one end, but it's done the shaft into the bell housing too. Looks like it's been well on its way before I got the car. Been lucky to get 300 miles out of it.

Re: 340 1.4 manual, rattle from bell housing area.

Well shortly after posting that the car broke. Haven't looked yet and will need a tow home, but sounds like the shaft the prop sits on or the inside of the prop has lost its teeth :-(

Re: Clear out

Thanks. I've had an offer of those from another member, but some people have criticised his liking for taking money and not posting items for months!!
