how did you do that, hit something?

yes they are the same, only difference is the rear engine mounting brackets of a 340 that are bolted on; they simply bolt off.

when you find a replacement maybe look into this: http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... e&start=15
Would stop it happening again maybe? Although i'd guess that it's just been rusting with age rather than a defect in design, but still, worth doing
