I can no longer put my Volvo 340 automatic in gear. When I press down the knob on the gear lever, it just starts "grinding" What could it be? 340pw Earth issue on the lever not allowing the de-clutching servo to work (you should be able to change gears at idle with out pushing the button). First ma...

Hello all, just a quick update on the window motors. With a small bit of sealant around the motor join and the gear housing back. Awaiting for the sealant to dry but now have a pair of fully working window motors :D https://farm1.staticflickr.com/797/40587578065_2f088e7a66_z.jpg 20180415_181639 by B...

Hello all. As you are all aware the electric window motors can seize up and stop working, the pair I have are either noisy or slow. I managed to get hold of a second pair, one of which was seized up. So with nothing to lose, I popped off the covers and started to dismantle them, took the motors apar...

Cheers Ben! I can hear the fuse box relay click on when the stalk is pulled, but it doesn't stay on. what role does the dim dip relay play in this? Does that toggle per monent high beam and flash high beam? Cheers Got to ask the silly question, are you lights switched on the position 2 on the twist...

High beam is activated via the stalk. The high beam on the stalk triggers the relay in the fuse box (i believe the big silver one) You need to test the power coming from that relay to the headlight. Use a voltmeter to assess which wire is dipped and which is full beam. From there we can trace the is...

Evening all, bit more work done. Upon reassembling the engine noticed the little brass fitting to the carb was leaking fuel, so with some guidance, removed the pipe and chamfered the hole edge, applied some araldite around the brass and pressed it in and then added some into the chamfer. https://far...

But i do want to make a fiberglass mould of it, just don't know how to atm.

Hello all. So after a new flywheel sensor and renix, still getting a misfire at 2.5k. So with some head scratching and help from Mac, and checking everything we finally found that the cog that drives the distributor was a tooth out thus the timing was advanced all the time. After fixing this the car...

evening. You will be lucky to find a front valence, i sold my NOS one a little while ago. There is a plan of making fiberglass ones, however it is time for me to get around to doing it (and to learn how to do it) What wing are you after Mk1,2 or 3? what else do you need? Ben Yea I'm not getting my ...
