No, that's not H4, that's a 410 base. H4 has three prongs...

Thanks.


I went out of lpg, hopefully at home, so i changed to gasoline and startet up. No sucess. Tried everything, choke on, couple of hits (a lot) on the gas pedal, waiting, etc. No result.
Tomorrow i will give a look at the fuel pump... arrgh, any tips?

do you drive on LPG only? if you don't drive on petrol the floater chamber will dry out and the floater will start bouncing around so the float level is incorrect, after a while the car just won't run on petrol anymore

correct thing to do is to allways start the car on petrol, drive the first few km's on it and then switch to LPG; don't even switch it to LPG on short trips

The trouble sith starting on petrol is that is when the oil get most contaminated by it! You do need to run petrol through at least once a week, your best off switching over just before switch off so that you can use th carb filling feature on teh switch to save lots of cranking getting the fuel through.

9,5 or 10 is a significative difference?

I only found this one, but the shipping is uber expensive >.<

no, that's the propshaft that is spinning, it is common that this gives a rattle and doesn't harm anything. it's because there's slight play in the spigot-prise or front gearbox bearing; you don't have to do anything about it untill you get strange vibrations at certain or higher rpm's (where there's so much play that the propshaft gets unbalanced and starts vibrating) in reality, this takes a very loooooong time. the noise in your movie can be described as normal

the clutch release bearing can only make noise if you press the clutchpedal down

So, some pichers.

Had a Drift Day (well, Night) at New Years Eve. Wet track = lots of fun. Even a slow no power open dif stock susp Volvo can provide lots of fun when used properly :P
Was a bit dirty haha

Guys, how do i remove the back seats? lol

Maybe it's too damn easy i can't see it. I have LPG, so it can be hidden because of that?
Also, i'm struggling to remove the front door lol
Can't understand how to remove the door itself from the car, that " crave pin " or something...
Even with Haynes, cantdo.
