Re: Knocking noise on rear axle
It only ever happens when i turn right like hard or something then you hear a big knock. Then it continues knocking like quietly for a bit then goes away.

Re: Knocking noise on rear axle
Oh thanks for that!
I'll have a look and see if can sort that out. Only lowered it by 2 inches, but got adjustable dampers coming anyway.

Re: Idle and Moving from standstill problems.
Thanks a lot for all the tips and advice, much appreciated! Turns out the fuel cutoff wire wasn't attached good enough. I took it to work and a work mate fixed the problem with a "ghetto" fix. It idles perfect and goes so nicely. I'm going to need a spare one just in case it goes again. Do they stil...

Re: Idle and Moving from standstill problems.
The problem has came back. But even worst. The only way for it to idle is to have the choke out. I've checked the carb bolts and there all tight.
It just doesn't want to idle at all. Running out of ideas :/

Re: Idle and Moving from standstill problems.
Thank you for the advice. I've been busy lately so haven't had the time go jump on here. I did have a peak earlier today and noticed that the 5 screws on top of the carb was extremely loose. I need a day where i can take the carb off and strip it down. As for the the HT coils i'm going to check that...

Idle and Moving from standstill problems.
Hello, I've come across a problem that was minor at first which now happens at every junction. Idling seems hard and very low, almost at the point of cutting out. Moving from a standstill is hard, like the revs just die out and i have to keep trying to rev it back up. But driving it seems fine, no i...

Re: My new volvo 340.
Little question about the Renault 5 turbo. At the moment it's just sitting in my garage. What's the main things needed to change to fit this engine?

Re: My new volvo 340.
It's a A reg 1984. I didn't believe it at first so i looked at the DVLA MOT record which shows every time the car was MOT'ed. It matches up. Believe what you want but the old MOT in front of me says 3,847. Ha. I heard that it was owned by a old gentleman then a kid bought it but hasn't had it long s...
