What year is the car / engine?

And, because my brother and I have a 940 needing some bodywork TLC, what colour is the motor?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi it's a 1992 J reg car and as far as I know the original engine

It's metallic green, if you tell me where to get the code from I'll go get it.

Based in Nottingham. Feel free to make me an offer on the whole thing as I haven't really thought about how much to sell it for complete.

Hahaha, I find you mildly amusing volvosneverdie. 3/10.

It's in Nottingham. I'll get a video if 13431 decides he no longer wants it as he has shown a firm interest in it.

Video of the engine running here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3plw8Wkt66U

It was started from cold, so the tapping you hear is what I believe to be the valve shims that need doing as mentioned in my first post.

£200 takes the whole car bar the parts I have removed to sell but will include engine, wiring etc that you require to convert a 300.

My mate (local to me) tells me he has a spare head @ £25 which would resolve the tapping.

Hi unknown seller, how much for the mirrors? Also would you remove the headlamps and grille for me and leave them in a safe place?

My phone is tempermental so I may be hard to contact. :)
