I have a new surprise in this thread for Aymat...its a rare one too!! Gimme a day or two and it'll get scanned...
As for the econometer one...its buried somewhere at home. I'll try to dig it out at Christmas, but I can't get it before then It's definitely that curved pipe we pointed out to you, but if you're unsure, you'd be wise to wait. Alternatively, Hugh might have pics from Nessy...
cheers

Good stuff!!! As long as I double make sure it's not a fuel pipe the worst that could happen in a trip to the ships, but I'll trust you and guy who seeemed to know what he's talking about (Rupert?)!

Don't have any of these, but I did just dig out my original 343/345 1980 Owner's Manual and a little booklet that came with the car 'The secret behind the design of your Volvo' which has some intresting information about the development of the 343/435 through all the stages, development, prototyping, etc. If anybody's intrested in this, I'll dig out my scanner, or just take photos of it (6mpixel cameras do have their uses, ya know...)

told you booting it would work. brute force all the way
as a thought - it might be to do with the door pins dropping - have you tried lifting the door (from the window frame) whilst kicking it?

Aymat, I see you have the original Installing-Instructions for the ambient temperature-gauge. Mine is acting strange. I didn´t know how to connect, so I measured a bit and thought I figured it out.
Only strange thing, when I turn on the light, the temperature immediately increases by 10 degrees. Something must be wrong. Could you please send me the instructions ? Or anyone tell me where exactly it has to be connected, when wiring is not original. For example, I just connected one wire to ground somewhere. Now I´m not sure if it has to be grounded via the dash, in other words, connected to a voltagestabilizer or anything.

Almost certainly a bad ground....as you suspect. In theory you can ground it near the sender, but in practice, grounding nearer the dash is probably much better.

I grounded it on the ignition-lock. I can´t really imagine it´s a bad ground. Why should the electrical resistance be lower when I turn on the lights (which happens, acoorrding to the higher "temperature" on the gauge. It´s giving the correct temperatue with lights turned off).
Anyway, I´ll ground it somewhere else, just to test it.

It grounds back to the panel as standard. There may be resistance between the two ground points. You're really looking for a 'reference' ground, rather than a 'perfect' ground....if that makes sense?
