Pics or it didn't happen.

Intriguing...

Just spotted this post on another forum http://autoshite.com/topic/19376-scrapyard-frolicking/

The 343 looks a bit crusty but thought I'd put it here in case someone fancies a challenge! I think the place is in Derby.

I did wonder that, and I hope it is the problem. I will have to get the wiring diagram out and find out where the dashboard earths to.

Right, time for another update. Today it was such a lovely day I decided to go to the garage and collect the car and do a couple of jobs. First, and crucially, was fitting the new brown speakers: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/IMG_4366.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/...

Hello and welcome. That looks like a terrific little car, what a find! I like the colour too. It must be a 1983 model year car - you can tell as it has the earlier type mirrors mounted on the door, and still has a quarterlight panel on the doors. Is it a manual or variomatic? More pics would be appr...

I forgot to mention my other very important new addition to the car: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/IMG_3077.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/IMG_3084.jpg Thanks to resourceful RJ who managed to find it in one day of looking, after I had spent a year fai...

Sure:

Yes I know - the cover looks really strange with clear indicators, but the pictures on the inside are clearly orange. They also have side repeaters, which MY77 outside Italy don't have. I think it was an Italian requirement in those days, as there is a 1976 mk1 Fiesta from Italy for sale near me, wi...

I got this magazine for Christmas, which has a very long and detailed review of the new Volvo 343, with some great pictures and drawings. Unfortunately, I can't read Italian, so I have no idea whether it is a positive review or not! Enjoy the pictures (click to enlarge) :) http://i25.photobucket.com...

Look what exciting things I got for Christmas - shitty brown plastic NOS things :D http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/IMG_4375.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/IMG_4376.jpg I shall fit them in the spring when the car comes out of its hibernation.

I would have forgiven you if you were in a 340 at 6am!

No, I did not get some bargains for my home, I was in fact on my way to Llanfechell to visit my grandmother, and my eagle eyes spotted the 340 in the car park and I just couldn't resist making a U turn to go back and have a proper snoop around.

Spotted in Home Bargains in Llangefni, Anglesey on 23rd Decembver when I was visiting my parents over Christmas: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/photo1-2.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/photo2-1.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/enjoyhotcoffee/ph...

Great original 340, which looks like it has been well cared for.

I know, shocking.
