Re: Official V3M 300 Spotted Thread.

Was in Michael Douglas's yard earlier in the week. It's been a good while since I was in and all the Volvos are now against the fence that backs on to the railway line. Only one 300 series car there. A 1988 1.4 with missing prop, wing and bent bonnet. Didn't peek under the rear to check if the trans...

Re: Vadis on Windows 10

VADIS went out with Nelson's eye.

A late copy of VIDA is you best bet. Check the minimum systems requirement of the different releases.

Re: CR-201

This might be useful (short plug goes into EQ socket) if no amp is used.

Re: Factory rust protection on early cars

Did they get penny-pinching later on? Late cars seem to rust like nobodies business at the corners of the scuttle panel.

Re: CR-201

(From memory, it's some time since I've had them apart) CR-201 differs to the CR-101 only is respect of the not having an AVI button, but having a loudness one instead. There needs to be some sort of jumper plug in one of those DIN plugs on the rear, otherwise the internal pre-amp is not connected t...

Re: Middle Seat Belt, Early Cars (Lack Of)

A 343/5 with two outer lap/diagonal belts is a 5 seater. Under seat belt regs, if a belt isn't available, it's not an offence. When there is one or two in the back then the belts must be used (either/or/both outer ones fitted), but if there are three people, then the one in the middle is okay as bot...

Re: '85 360 GLS

I think this is a supply issue as on cranking the fuel filter is only 1/3 ish full - should I be looking at the pump here? Probably the pump. The BB one Christmas was surging a bit around 50mph when in heading for the Belfast - Cairnryan boat. It packed up completely by the time I got to Glasgow. P...
