Need a few trim bits too, like the grey plastic trim bits that cover the seat hinge.There's a few other bits and bobs I could use too. Plastic trim that sits above radiator and its retaining clips.

Re: Rad replacement 1986 Volvo 340 1.4
Hi me again
OK the original rad seems to be really thin 17mm thick and the replacement rad is 33mm thick
If anyone out there has a set of mounting brackets for the 33mm thick one please let me know, I'll engineer something to do the job in the meantime.
Cheers Chaps

Rad replacement 1986 Volvo 340 1.4
Hi Guys HELP HELP HELP! I have a major issue with the rad replacement. The Rad I've got seems to be too thick for the original mountings, all the pipe outlets are correct and seem to fit, but the rubbers will not take the rad. Could this rad be from another model and not a 1.4. 1.7 or 2.0 maybe. Doe...

Re: 1977 343
I used to live round the corner from Pillings Volvo at Two Waters near Hemel Hempstead and went to school with two of the Pilling kids, so used to see lines of shiny 300s and 240s on their forecourt. I do remember the launch of what must have been the Mk2 (whenever that was) because the noticeable ...

Re: 1977 343
That's interesting, thanks for talking the time to respond to what must have seemed to the diehard 300 fans a bit of a daft question.

Re: Radiator replacement 1986 Volvo 340 1.4
I think I've found the answer in the Greenbook for B14 engine.
Still need the clip thing though so if anyone has one let me know
Does anyone have any oil grade recommendations for the B14 unit?
20/50, 15/40?

Radiator replacement 1986 Volvo 340 1.4
Hi I've got a looming rad replacement coming up on my 1.4 Vario, got new pipes (thanks Dai) and Rad, but can anyone tell me how to get the old one out? It seems to me mounted outside of the engine compartment so does it come out through the front grill or what. Haynes not helpful and not got pics of...

1986 Volvo 340 1.4 Vario 3 door for Sale
Faced with the need to thin down the fleet at the moment, so sadly I'm going to have to sell my 1986 1.4 Volvo 340 DL Vario. The car has just passed its MOT with no advisories has a fully functioning Variomatic system. I've owned the car since last October and was purchased to enable me to get aroun...

Never seen a 242 before, is it the same overall size as a 244?

Re: exhaust on 1986 340 1.4 vario
Managed to fit new exhaust this weekend and what a difference. Old system was totally fubar. Only slight snag was a burning plastic smell on way home from workshop and this was found to be due to the cranked section of the mid pipe melting the plastic under tray ahead of the nearside front shackle m...
