Re: speedo cable for a MK1

If you can't get hold of one this company should be able to repair the original or make you up a new one:

Fuel pipe check valve?

I'm in the process of renewing all of the cloth covered fuel hoses on my 360 to cure a fuel leak and the strong smell of petrol every time I fill up. I'm working on the pipes around the fuel filler pipe at the moment and one of them that exits under the car has a check valve in line. I've taken this...

Re: Hi!

MOT passed first time without any advisories :)
Not bad for a 21 year old car!

Re: fuelpipe replacement

Cheers for that, saves me having to try and get the correct hoses while the car is in bits sm4 Picked up some 6mm and 8mm so should be able to replace those that are perished. This might sound like a bit of a stupid question, but did you manage to replace the cross over pipe without draining the tan...

Re: Hi!

Yeah fingers crossed it'll be ok, they seem to be known for their reliability. Bit of a shame the parts supply seems to be drying up though. I'm planning on taking it right down into cornwall again this year so going to give it some TLC before we go away. It's got the MOT on monday though so that'll...

Re: fuelpipe replacement

Good evening all, just noticed a rather large and alarming fuel leak on the 360 coming from underneath, only present when running. ive taken the heat shield off, and will be replacing the cross feed pipe tomorrow, (what dia is it btw?) I’d also be interested in knowing the internal diameter of thes...

Re: B200K Fuel pump spacer and a couple of other bits

Bump!
Still not managed to get hold of a spacer yet, it is the same on all B200k / B230k engines (same part number anyway). Anyone have one they could sell me?

That's some impressive work there Adam! I really like the bonnet too, black bonnets always seem to work well on white cars and that one looks very tidy. What are you going to do with the grill?

Re: Hi!

Cheers :) It has been quite a long running story now lol, it hasn't run right since we first got it. I'm glad in the end it was just a simple problem, but a bit irritated as the whole electric pump job (which cost the original owners quite a lot) was pointless. Can't wait to be able to actually driv...

Re: Wing mirror & radio

That's a useful page, I had no idea it was on the site :)
The one that is in the car atm isn't listed there, it has the same kind of fluorescent display as number 6 though.
I shall keep my eye out on ebay as parts often seem to come up on there and Speedy you have a PM!

Re: Hi!

It's been ages since I last updated this thread, uni sucking up all my time etc! The garage I took it to back in April managed to get the tracking sorted out, it seems a lot better than it did before. I think when I have some fresh rubber put on that will improve things too. They also replaced one o...

B200K Fuel pump spacer and a couple of other bits

I recently changed the fuel pump on my 360, but found that the plastic spacer that sits between the block and the pump had broken around one of the bolt holes. Volvo say it's still available but there isn't any in stock in the UK or Sweden so there will be a wait of up to 4 weeks! Does anyone have o...

Re: Wing mirror & radio

It's good to know that other Volvo models will fit, I'll keep them in mind :)
I might consider manual tuning, it would fit the period!

That'd be handy Adam as you're just down the road, but mine is an '88 so I'm looking for something around the same age with FM reception.

Re: Wing mirror & radio

Thanks for the info Tom, I'm after a manual mirror for an '88.
That radio looks very retro-tastic! But I'm really looking for something a bit later, I'm used to creature comforts like digital tuning and FM reception :)
