nevermind, would have loved to keep this on the road as a project but 2 late. scrapped it yesterday... sorry guys!

Im Selling this car because the clutch just went, i have a clutch kit with it, and the gearbox is half out but i cant get it out because i need an engine crane to move the engine forward slighty, i dont have the tools or time. Apart from that needs a starter motor (keeps jamming), rear brake shoes a...

My 340 is from manchester (WNA on the end)which ties up with what it says on the back reg plate lol
Unfortunately i lost the front plate somewhere whilst drifting on some gravel so its blank.

That is a BARGAIN! that is immaculate mate wish mine looked that shiny!

i can take u a few pics of a 340 bellhousing, prop, gearbox and diff in the morning if youd like. im under the car then anyway trying to change the clutch. stupid torque tubes whats wrong with a bolt on prop shaft??

Hi, i thought id better come on here and tell u lot bout my 340 etc as i have been using the technical forums a lot in the last few days! Well i got a G reg 340GL 1.4 for £150 a few months ago as a replacement for my written off mk2 golf, and well it had 11months MOT and few months tax and 87000 on ...

I had another crack at it today, still no luck, jacked the diff and gearbox up and put the nuts back on so it is back at the correct height. the prop has no Universal join so i gathered it wouldnt slide off if it wasnt sitting on the spline straight, tried to smack it forward from the gearbox with n...

lol, my drivers door makes 2 LOUD pops as it opens!

Which is the mixture screw and which is the idle screw, i took my air filter casing off (both parts) and on the drivers side of the carb there is a big obvious screw, when i changed my carb i just screwed it right in, undone it 3 turns, started it up and done it in until it was Just still running an...

i have noticed a knocking sound from drivers side front wheel over bumpy roads but only very faint, havent really looked under there yet, its not long had an MOT so it can wait, i dont even know if it has wishbones or not, havent had the car long so not an expert on it yet :p hope it isnt the rack! ...

Could be thrust bearing getting stuck on the shaft in the gearbox but you say you changed the whole kit, i always grease up the shaft when i change a clutch on anything, that could help, but if not then it has to be the cable needs adjusting or is stretched! mine used to do it but the clutch was on ...

k thanks people got it changed now anyway

the servo pipe that goes to the manifold always gets sucked closed after a bit of running so i cut mine about to about 2inches long just to join the servo pipe to manifold, doesnt have room to close now not had a problem

Mine had Exactly the same problem. tightened them up, but then the top half of the carb came loose! then i tightened those and it was forever running rough. used to start running rough every 50+ miles on a motorway and eventually stop and not want to rev atall. got a new carb from a scrappy £20. put...

My clutch pedal has started getting really high since i let my bro use the car :x it started slipping last week so i completely popped it :D now i have a problem. i have been told that the only way to get the "torque tube" (think thats what they called) off is to drop the diff and swing it back. i h...
