My tax and insurance run out on my Volvo 340DL at the end of October so Im gonna sell it as Im struggling to afford running it for much longer. It's a blue 1988 1.4 5-door manual but is only a 4-speed - The mileage as of writing this today (Fri-27th-Sept) is: 110334 Its MOT runs out on January-28th-...

What does the GLT stand for?...

Halfords do generic fit brackets, they're about £1.30 each and they've gotten plenty of my cars through MOTs.

I had a look at the Halfords ones yesterday and they are apparently 50mm, will this do?...

Blimey. Im still not convinced I can source one as the part name and number that macplaxton kindly supplied (Bosal 255-397 ) comes up with a much thicker rubber ring with two holes inside it when typed into ebay as opposed to a medium sized oval rubber ring?...

Thanks everyone, amazingly super glue has held and joined the ring back together!

Its actually just a medium sized oval shaped rubber ring that sits right at the far back of the car connecting one side of the exhaust to the body...

Many thanks...

Would a zip-tie be an MOT failure?...

I need a rubber ring that holds one side of the exhaust to the car at the rear end as my old one has split. I may try super glueing it back together? The part number is 224353...

I suppose I could always use a zip-tie although that'll probably be an mot failure?...

Many thanks Mark... It has brought me no end of joy! Lol

Gawd bless ya Guv'nor...

Hi Justin. I have the other one for the other side. PM me your address and you can have it. Cheers Mark. sm4 sm4 sm4 Thanks Mark, I've messaged you my address. At this rate I will end up having a cupboard full of them! Lol PS:Im pretty sure they can be used on either side, left or right, either or?...

Now, just to be clear - having re-read your first post - do you need just the spring No. 5, or both the spring No.5 & peg No. 6?

I've got No. 5 in my pocket, but having got home wanted to double check...

I need 5+6, spring and peg...

Thanks, your a true gentleman...

Thanks, that would be great...

When you say tie backs do you mean zip-ties?... I'd rather have the real thing...

What, that holds on that entire front central plastic part that lives in front of the radiator?...
