Re: Derrick the Volvo!

ha ha! yuuuup! The lifters you aren't sure about? Fair enough. I don't really notice it to be honest. I need to remove them and see what it's like. I need to re-think the washer jets otherwise. Just fitted the manifold back on, looks goooood! I had to bodge the exhaust back on using a lot of cable t...

Re: Derrick the Volvo!

Had a little more time on the car now I've managed to find my mojo doing my dissertation. Had a bit of a miss-fire/ignition problem on my way back from worcester, random miss-firing that would come and go, and got progressively got worse. Initially thought it was ICV, then a slipped conti fuse (the ...

Re: Volvo 340 F7R HELP!!!

where is the pick up for the fuel pump? Could it be moving about due to the larger amount of fuel in the tank? (its probably not the issue, but going on what you have said . . .) otherwise fuel filter/lines ok?

Does it do it when revving at a standstill?

Re: 1.7 prop rattle (very)

When mine did that, it was closely followed by failure. On mine the splines ended up rounding an eventually wore through. Whip the prop off and check the splines. If they are worn, itll be new prop time.

Re: Derrick the Volvo! (Drift pics, P45)

The weekend just gone I spent tidying bits up, like engine bay wiring and the strut tops. Wiring wise it was basically just getting rid of the blue crimp spade connectors *shudder* and make it look a bit neater. No pics of the wiring, as it's still not tidy enough, and, well, its wire. :lol: Strut t...

Re: how to get more lock

nah think it was mat91 or someone.

I know you can cut down and re-weld the steering knuckle on the front strut too. You will however need a bloody good welder to weld it back strong enough!! You'll need to adjust the rack accordingly too.

Re: free f7p plus a few other bits and bobs for sale

Oddly that's why I wanted a spare engine to build up. I can still run the car but have one to take my time over/have as a back up. I'll PM you.

Re: Derrick the Volvo!

Yeah the weather was pretty crappy, managed to stay moderately dry though! Easy I guess as I was driving for a while! :lol: Other tracks were pretty quick, I got on the west track for a lil bit, but spun a few times and got told to go back on the hairpin. A little miffed as I had the hairpin nailed,...
