Steel Wheels and Volvo Plastic Wheel Trim - Volvo 340 1991

Hi, my son would like to put his car back to standard 13" steel wheels from the 15" aluminium wheels. He has 2 (they came with the car) and now he is looking for another pair. Tyres condition is not an issue but the steel wheels must be in good condition. We live in Gloucestershire so not sure if it...

There is a square recess on the back of the barrel which looks like it needs prising off. I can't see any circlip. Anyon...

340 door handles please

Hi, my son has just bought a 1.4 1991 340 and he is now sorting out the niggly bits such as broken external door handles on drivers side and passenger offside (one of the little arms broken on each bizarrely).
Does anyone stock these or have a couple we can buy please.
Very many thanks, Lee.

You won't have much trouble getting replacements from spares shops and eBay.
Many thanks indeed, Lee and just love the pun. :lol:

Ignition 1.4 1991 340 - what have we got please

Hi, I attach two photos of the distributor cap, rotor and distributor. I'd like to buy replacements for the first two - just in case. I can't see any contact breakers so I am assuming a) I'm blind b) stupid c) both or d) it's electronic???? e) something else. So help please, what have we got and whe...

Re: Safety question: 15" rims fitted instead of 13"

Very helpful, many thanks. I'm confused re FWD and rear wheel drive and how it matters as to where the wheels came from. Let me demonstrate my confusion...are we saying that the wheels themselves are balanced to reflect the FWD geometry (or whatever it's called) so naturally if you take the wheels f...

Safety question: 15" rims fitted instead of 13"

Hi my 23 year old son has just bought a 1991 1.4 340 5 door which has Rover alloys fitted (tyre is 185 55 R15). Are these larger rims safe? Will they adversely affect steering, heavy braking, normal driving? Or do I need to buy him a set of 13 inch rims from somewhere? I'm just interested in the saf...

Re: Electric windows mirrors not working

Ah, very helpful as I've now got the drivers side window working with some WD40. The passenger's side is not working but I think the main reason has been lack of use so I have tried to WD40 the motor and winding mechanism but it still is not working. No noise from it but it is definitely pulling cur...
