Just in case people haven't seen the latest Volvo Driver magazine, here is the advert for this year's 300-series event:

Looking forward to seeing you again RJ.

I am going to be a traitor and will be giving my new 245 GLT an outing to the VOC National this year.

What a great car! Being so original; my '76 looks pretty much the same, but it's so far from orignal.. The door mirrors are of a different model, maybe part of the swedish specs? Just like the B14.0S engine. The 6 digit odometer + the year code HC states it must be MY 77. (or do I start a giant dis...

I need a new exhaust for my 1985 vario. I bought a centre and rear section from eBay recently, but it really doesn't fit properly, it doesn't reach all the mounts, and rests against the body in parts. It particularly rests against the vario unit cover. Has anyone bought one recently which fits very ...

My original B14.0E is still going, at about 120,000kms. I need to give it an oil change again now though, as I really want to prolong its life as much as possible - it's started to get noisy again. I'm a little worried that one day it may go 'bang' - is there any maintenance you would suggest I shou...

Hello Freerk Thank you so much for posting about your car on the forum. I'm sure Siôn will be along shortly once he has stopped drooling. :lol: I've actually been drooling over your car for many years - I spotted the photos from when you first bought it on another website, although it was so long ag...

Wow, yes, looks very clean indeed. How does it fare doing 60 miles a day?

Wow, excellent stuff! It looks to be in good condition, is it suffering from any rust?

Looking forward to seeing you get it back on the road

Please be careful though, as last time you took your dashboard apart for me, you broke your speedo cable and I felt very guilty.

Could I just ask for a quick bit of guidance on the dashboard earth please. I have been working on it today and have found it's the far left wire that is the earth. The wiring diagram says it's dark brown, but i'm fairly convinced it's a fairly fat dull orange wire, but never mind (all the wires are...

I took the car to an exhaust centre to get a blow sorted on Saturday, and took the opportunity to have a good look underneath whilst it was on the ramp. The metal in front of the rear bumper is surprisingly solid: my friend has a G-reg which has a fairly non-existent rear valance. The rest of the un...

It's had a resprayed tailgate at some point, or a replacement tailgate as the badges are in the wrong place. I'm trying to work out if that's a 140bhp H cam'd engine or the later 136bhp K cam'd one. '80/'81MY cars had the H cam, and some of the '82MY ones came with it. '83MY's (as far as I can tell...

Top marks, although I can't help but think that your level of detail was garnered by looking at the other images in my photobucket and looking it up on the Doovla website rather than the picture I posted up :P Anyway, you are correct. I hadn't realised before that Stevie Wonder as an aside to his su...

Crossed over to the dark side:


Any guesses what I might have bought?

That's excellent Dai!

I think we are probably getting to the stage that there are few cars out there in the wild which aren't known to us enthusiasts now, due to (supposed) scarcity of parts.
