Re: 340 starter engine problems, with mystery content.
Hello, are the engine earth cables and connections all good? Sorry, that is all I can think of. Good luck!

Re: Returning to the 340
Hello, I do remember your name and your car comes up as taxed and moted on the DVLA website. Welcome back. Cheers, bogs.
P.S. Of course, is the battery all good?

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Well, I've deeply woken up to the fact that the ULEZ is expanding to New Malden next year so let's Volvo it up. A trip to Havant to collect a new set of interior trim was a success as shown below. https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16690679460623.jpg https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16690679460322.j...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Sorted. It was the mass airflow (MAF) sensor. A replacement at £66 seems to be a complete cure so now, after an MOT and an oil change, I should be able to get back to the Volvos ;-0 ;-0

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
A little but of progress today. Hidden behind a little blanking plug, as well as the befuddling veil of all the high-tech paraphernalia, was a little old fashioned idle adjustment screw and a tiddle of it today seems to have the idling in a much better state. To be confirmed ;-0 ;-0 https://u.cubeup...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Right, long gap in comms, but I've been struck down by idling difficulties on the Hyundai which I can't fathom out. The general lie of the land is as follows: https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/20221016175854.jpg Anyway, the first thing perhaps foolishly, was to check the EGR valve in case it was blo...

Re: VOC / V3M at Haynes Motor Museum - 2nd October 2022
It was a good day! Very well done to James and Chris for the admin side. Much appreciated. There were 6 300's, I think, five of which are shown in the line-up here: https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/haynes.jpg and another, with a near-DeLorean finish, here: https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/james4.j...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Hah! Sunday 2nd October and its the V3M trip to the Haynes museum in Sparkford, Wilts. I spent the night before at the Travelodge in Wincanton and opened the curtains to see a very wet Deep Blue. Good job I polished it, once for my mother's funeral and once again for the show! https://u.cubeupload.c...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Bumbu sauce. Talk about the cancel culture. The show's off, and it's not for animal rights protestors, it's for none other than our very own and noble queen (no, Elton's still around AFAIK). Mais c'est pour la republique! Well, I'll have you know I'm currently organising my own mother's funeral whic...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Ok, so Rover P5 it up. This is how the rust looked after about 2 weeks of overnight treatments with naval jelly and scratching away at it with screwdrivers of various sizes. https://u.cubeupload.com/jbcooper/16625527964180.jpg I have a bit of a weird system, but I then put on zinc antitrust primer. ...
