Volvo 343 in May issue of Practical Classics

I finally have received the May 2019 issue of Practical Classics in which I am featured as the restorer of the month with my 1979 Volvo 343. PC actually came to Belgium last November to photograph the car and me and it was a fun day despite the rain. Though not expecting it, it would be a small arti...

Re: Possible pallet shipping from New Zealand

Sorry about that. I was under the impression that all of this stuff was already more or less on its way. Well, here's my list in that case: 3x GLT whale tails The coupler pieces between the prop shaft & gearbox Many GLT front trim bits ?? what is meant by that A pair of C-pillar speakers Rust free g...

Re: Volvo 340 automatic transmission problem

When you start the car in N, does it want to move? The obvious culprits that come to mind are either the bushes in the link between the gear lever and the CVT-box, the nut on top of the CVT where the shifter enters the box, and whether the play in the clutch disc has been adjusted correctly. How lon...

Re: Volvo 340 1.7 Solex carb problems!

There is plenty that can go wrong.
Check for airleaks, places where false air is sucked in,
The base of the carb may be warped.
Is the carb fitted with a greenblock?
Like Dai wrote, check the weight of the float.. it should be 6 gr.

Re: Duchess The Volvo 340 CVT

Few more bits to work on like the fitting the new roof gutters, if anyone has a good idea on how to fit these and get them to stick please tell me. Just wait until it is 20-25°C, the warmer the better (softens the gutters). I have never used any adhesive to keep them in place, but have instead used...
