Fancy Bits?

Post by TurboTomSportive » 22 Sep 2011 01:23 pm

Hi guys my volvo comes up of the logbook as just a "340" ...doesn't say a model. i guess its like a DL because my insurance list it as a N/A (good for cheap insurance!) but it has no kit on it.

Can i fit PAS? if so ...how and what do i need?

Can i fit Electric windows? if so...how and what do i need?

Can i fit Central Locking? If so....how and what do i need?

Also is there any other kit i can fit to it? i've fitted a cigarette lighter and clock on dash (as it didn't have either)

I also have dials with a rev counter but thats it..

thanks tom

Erm.... Electric mirrors too I suppose? :D

But yes, all of the above can be retro-fitted, some are easier than others.

I'm sure someone will be along soon to explain in more detail.

Matt.

You shouldn't need PAS on a 1.4, steering should be silly light even when parking. If not, its likely your top cups have collapsed taking out the bearings.

E-mirrors are pretty straight forwards to fit. Have a look here, it may be of interest / help:

Finding the parts for E-mirrors, windows, extra dash gauges, and other accessories will probably be the hardest bit

I maintain a constant speed of 92mph, steering is always light, even in town!
