Alloy wheel centre caps.

Would anyone be interested in a full set of undamaged centre caps? I rescued them from a set of alloys I scrapped recently. They have all of the tangs on the back, but could do with a clean up and a lick of paint. These are the caps:- http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n376/alex-rgv-pics/IMAG0321.jp...

GLT Alloy Wheels for sale.

Hi Guys, I have a set of 13" GLT alloy wheels for sale, they do need a bit of a clean up, but they are good and straight. The tyres are not good and of different sizes, these wheels never quite made it to our car! I'd be after £50 for the set of 4, collection preferred from North Kent. http://i337.p...

Carb for a 1.7 340 needed.

Hi Guys, We've got lots of problems with the wife's 1.7 340, I've narrowed down the major issues to the fuelling. I've stripped it down and cleaned it up with no improvement. I think we need a new (to us) carb. So has anyone got a carb from a running engine? I'm in Kent, so postage may be required.....

Re: Cooling system circulation.

Thanks for the replies guys. Most of the ignition system was changed less than a thousand miles ago, dizzy, arm, leads, plugs. I had a poke around this afternoon, before driving home and most of the coolant hoses got warm quite quick, followed by the others after a while. Wouldn't this suggest that ...

Re: Cooling system circulation.

It is a 1.7 and in the past has taken ages to warm up, with the temp guage hardly moving even on long runs. Recently the guage has been moving up more and quicker, we just put it down to the slightly warmer spring weather! What problem would taking ages to warm up point to? The radiator was replaced...

Cooling system circulation.

Hi Guys, We're having a couple of problems with my wifes 340, rough running and general unhappiness both at idle, low speed and on the motorway! :( One thing I noticed this morning is that there is no jet of water coming into the expansion bottle. I seem to remember that the circulation should be in...

Re: Rear brakes not working.

The missus has just talked to the local Volvo main dealer and the brake pipes are still available, on the shelf, in Sweden!!

AND they cost less than £3. To say I am staggered is an understatement, either they made far too many or they have just not broken in the predicted numbers.

Re: Rear brakes not working.

Well, turns out that it was totally unrelated to the handbrake issue! There was some particles of stuff inside the brake line going to the offside rear wheel cylinder virtually blocking it, this line then broke as I tried to undo it! So as the fluid was not getting to the offside cylinder, it was no...

Rear brakes not working.

Hi Guys, I have a strange problem with our G reg 340, the rear brakes do not work with the pedal! The car failed the MOT on handbrake efficiency, so I unseized the adjuster and now the handbrake works fine. But when I took her for the retest, the rear brakes had stopped working and the pedal was har...

If you come and pick them up, you can have them for a tenner.

PM me and we'll sort out the details.
