Our 340 has now been sold and gone to a good home. Thanks for all the interest.

Hi CPE93/Cody Thanks for your interest. I'm trying to reply to your PM but there does not appear to be any way of uploading attachments like there is when starting a new topic. Can you please PM your email address so I can send you the photos and I would be interested to hear about your interest in ...

Hi bogbasic
That's very kind of you and good to know, it would be great to keep her "in the family".
As a last resort you would have no problem getting to Surrey. Indeed, she is our preference when travelling long distance to South Devon and we have never been let down.

Thanks whoozzem Very true. It wasn't any easier when I had to part with my 1988 340DL 1.4 (manual 4 speed). However, that got lighter every time I drove it :wink: Good luck with your search for a 1.4 auto, my dad had one. Apart from the whine of the CVT, it's what originally attracted me to 340s and...

Hi Mark, bogbasic and 360beast Sadly storage is an issue. Many thanks for the advice. I've seen several requests for 340s/360s by new members on other sites that I decided not to respond to. Indeed, I also had a bad feeling that their intentions were not for the good of the car. Regarding the estima...

Thanks

That's very kind of you. Despite the ageing body, she still feels taut and is a joy to drive in our hills.

After over 26 years, we have decided to part with our faithful 1989 Volvo 340GL 1.7, which has genuinely covered 107,419 miles. Last year, I introduced our car to Volvo 300 mania when we were seeking replacement parts... http://www.volvo300mania.com/uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=15804 and indeed, we...

Hear Hear bogbasic. My wife was reversing F704 into our driveway a couple of weeks ago when she heard a sickening bang from the front of the car. The evidence in the road looked like the coil spring had broken, but we have since found it was far worse. Others will know that noise when the rusty cup ...

Hi I've recently bought and had fitted a reconditioned suspension strut for my 340. I've sent my old strut to Classic Swede and used Parcel2go too and was shocked to see the same message. In my case, this happened after Hermes had not collected the part when they said they would and I had to re-book...

Hi CBA
I've got to disagree with you. Our 340 1.7 with standard Weber conversion has much more grunt than either of the 1.4s we've had in the past.
Good luck with your search.

Hi I wonder if you would be interested in our one owner 1989 Volvo 340 1.7GL 3 door, which is based in south Shropshire. We have a full service history, all the MOTs, all the receipts and it is MOT'd until March 1st 2016. I wrote a piece for the site last July... http://www.volvo300mania.com/uk/foru...

Thanks bogbasic
We are in no hurry to part with our 1.7 and are hoping the old girl will eventually find a good home.

Hi Joe I wonder if you would be interested in our one owner 1989 Volvo 340 1.7GL 3 door, which is located on the south Shropshire/north Herefordshire border.

I'm still interested in the radiator and have sent a couple of pms but not received a response.
