My mate wonders if you wanna swap it for... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2540/5740924955_a52c1df17c_z.jpg those two, both with MOT (and tax i think) To quote John McEnroe "You cannot be serious!!" , I've had an e28 and loved it to bit's, from memory the two drive almost the same but the Bimmer fe...

Thats the thing Steve, they technically aren't slow (for their time atleast) but yeah in comparison to my 300 it does feel a bit like a tractor :lol: I fully agree on the wheel front aswell, they are a nice design just a shame they didn't do them in bigger sizes. VND- I feel i can justify saying i'm...

Thanks guys, to be honest it would be hard for you lot not to like it, i mean it's a Volvo after all! How tech were Volvo boffins back in the day, i ask as everytime it hits 75mph upwards it makes a horrific screaching noise from the dash. I know mechanical speedo's can spin and make a squeal, but t...

I had an itch which needed itching and i've always wanted one of these. So last week while doing my usual thing of looking at various bits of automotive tat i had the urge to make a compulsive purchase. This was helped by the fact the car in question was nice and local (only 7miles away) and rather ...

If this is a proper garage you paid to do the job and not just a mate in his lockup, i'd suggest you MAKE them obtain a new one for you as it's not something they should just forget to put back on and loose. As for alternatives maybe a deodorant lid or something similar would fit, but i'd only see i...

Ah i see, cheers for the headsup.

If there was a "like" button i'd click it

So are new topmounts still available but not the standard bearings? I think mine need doing as i have a knock from the drivers side suspension.

From what i read on some other forums via google is that the pads will wear out a disk, (mark it, put stripes on it) not the other way around. But if thats not the case on the 360 i will replace the whol shabang My general understanding is if you put new pads onto old discs they will wear quicker d...

Rotors = brake disc.

A knackered old brake disc will wear out new pads quicker thats for sure.

They also make the ride less harsh, you don't feel like your going to break your wrists when you hit a pothole

I've often wondered if this conversion was possible as my dads old 21 Turbo was a proper road rocket.

I hope you get it sorted and don't give up on the project.

My my what a big knob you've got

Looks quality

Chris, yes my prop did pretty much look like that, think i put pics in my car thread. Well if it was the mounts they have since been replaced so hopefully all will be well.

I think we put more miles on ours that you do. When yours breaks, I'm guessing it's no big deal. For people like chris and me who do 20k a year it's important to have everything right. btw - OT. Your name came up in a conversation with KevFromWales at the weekend. Apparently you recognised him inst...
