Generally, a B19 has a silver cam cover, while a B200 has a black one with silver lettering.
Yes, the later alloys do look rubbish.

They are 13's though... so would be the slightly better SE/Redline/Blueline alloys...

I think the light is standard on 360s. Sounds like you have a B19 then

I'm not sure it is, no. GLs and above got it, but I'm not so sure about the lesser models.
cheers

Fitted new dizzy cap, rotor arm, plugs and leads.... now the old girl boogies!
Way more responsive!
btw, many moons ago I used to be service advisor in a volvo dealers, but i was mainly dealing with 440s and early 850s.... you should have seen the warranty recall book on 440s!!!!

The classic 440/460 recall was for a plate fitted below the air bag sensor....cos if you hit a speed bump too hard, the clump from the exhaust set off the airbags!!
Actually there were more recalls on the 480! they had all the 440 ones plus some that were particular to the pop up headlights!
If i rememeber right early 850's had a gearbox recall, someone would bring the car in for a first service and I'd have to explain we needed the car for 3 days as the gearbox had to be replaced!!!!

I think our 440 had some seat belt thingy recall too, and we didn't even have that from new

. Ok, it was only 10 months old when we got it. Can't remember the 300 ever being reaclled, and we had that from new through to 3 or 4 years
