Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Thank you, I checked and adjusted the selector rod lengths and got it all back together on the car today and the gear change is now super-light and smooth, which makes a change, but the park pawl is still playing up. Bah Humbug, we're too far from Christmas for good luck at this point, but never min...

Re: Expansion tank
Hello, if you e-mail Born Built Beauts via the website, I'm sure Robbert can help. There is also another place called volvo 340 onderdelen or something which might be able to help: https://www.volvo340onderdelen.nl. If that is the crack on the top in your photo, it might be worth cleaning it up and ...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
After a fair few attempts at dismantling the compensator, I eventually procured a £5 chisel set from Poundland (everything one pound, not) and the results are, at long last, good, i.e. it finally came apart without damage to the plastic after several evenings of no success at all. https://u.cubeuplo...

Re: Potential mayor damage to engine - really need help
I am so sorry to hear of all these issues. I am glad the car is better and hope that the new clutch cable sorts the problem. Any idea of the type of filming they were doing would be useful, e.g. street, country lanes, rolling road even maybe ? ? I have read that film work is essentially guaranteed t...

Re: Potential mayor damage to engine - really need help
Hello, I am so sorry to hear about that. Did they have the car at a steep angle? Maybe there is oil in the clutch?

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Eventually decided that the source of the now incredible stiffness of the gear lever is the pivot through the sliding plastic part of the compensator. The sliding part slides very easily but the pivot going through it is well proper hard. I tried to dismantle it in situ for some lubrication but this...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Oh, I did love that Humbrol enamel grey colour, but t'was not to last because the gloss was a bit patchy so I decided to spray it with some laquer. As they say, I tested an area that wouldn't show too much and it was OK, so therefore sprayed the rest of it and disaster strikes yet again. My beloved ...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Right, so finally sorted out my current account and have ordered a new bush for the gear lever and a couple of gearbox sump gaskets. Meanwhile, the fairly seriously rusty sump from the donor gearbox has been semi-derusted with a few coats of Naval Jelly and rubs-down in between, as well as a few rub...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
OK, so fair bit of progress today dismantling the base of the gear lever. As it happens, part of this had to be done under the car. First thing then, we undo them bolts, them bolts... https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16569746142353.jpg https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16569746148157.jpg https://u....

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Some pictures showing some things I did today. Probably the only concrete piece of progress was replacing the connector on the blue wire to the inhibitor switch, as shown. https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16568858172943.jpg The above picture shows a plastic ball-joint thing on the gear selector mec...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Better today and got the P5 up on stands and blocks for a bash at the gearbox. I think, as someone on the P5 forum told me, its going to be an adjustment to the selector mechanism because if I disconnect it from the box and turn the selector knob with a spanner, as shown above, I can get park OK and...

Re: Rough idle 1.4 (i read the sticky)
Nice one. You are right suspect the idle solenoid. It's easy to check if it works reliably by disconnecting and reconnecting it with the ignition on and you should hear a click. I suspect though that it is fuel supply and air leaks in the hoses. You need to check all the rubber hoses and clips espec...
