If thats on the same dizzy cap and rotor arm as when you got it I'd chnge those first. Mine returns 230 out of £20 (23 ish litres) on a run at 70mph, and I'll get between 100 and 140 out of £20 doing town driving.

after mot with old wheels and 150euros worth of tyres.


















































Attemt 1 at making the engine bay more interesting.

Looks like new...me....want....my future car to be like that...anyhow.
Nice pics.

I was going to say that the air filter was so shiny it looked like chrome, but looking closer, have you spray painted parts silver?

thanks and yes its spayed but not with crome in a can, this is a new beta spray in testing which has real chrome particals very small bits and a new formular that sticks it togetther,

you polish it up and every thing with metal polish

very cool stuff,it was free as i test it,and resistes 150c,
unlike crome in a can which surports 50 or somthing.

but it may not go into production as problems,that.. i have not yet found

any way its cool stuff

and thats for your comments


Cheers
will

Germ one question...since you got your volvo the way you got it , did you change the electrical panel above the power supply or you just changed the wires to keep it electrical problem - free ?

BTW, strange looking distribution cap and on different place than on 340.

^^ its a 1.7 a totally differnt engine from 1.4

but i dont really understand what you mean

Soooo different.

mmmhh all i did was paint it

it may be differnt on 1.4's or older ones anyway


Cheers
will

ps the dist cap is normal place for this 1.7

Possible since your's 1.7 l and it probably have more adds than mine.

Thanks

thats the standard place for the fuse box on the 1.7

Std location for all models.

Will as mick had been pointing out all the things wrong I thought i should let you know that you have 400 series ignition leads not 340 ones

^^really?

how do you know?

and it said volvo 340 1.7 on the packet


will it harm any thing or not be effective???


omg
what do i do now???

cut them down to size...

Relax germ, as you can see it goes like hell.

I only asked if you changed it ( i 've seen the state of the car when you got it, but i didn't see the interior of the fuse box. ) Since my Volvo was in garage for 15 years without moving ( open type garage ) i do not know if that box ever needs changing or just use standard cleaning ( rust remove ).

No it won't harm anything, but 400 series is not as good as 300 series.
