Would like to know what that goes for, as an idea of what mine's worth. (GL with all the electrics but 5 doors).

Sorry, Albert Looms is a scrapyard....

Well I was kinda hoping mine was worth more than that

Who's gonna go and get me a clutch off that one then? Don't all volunteer at once now.

I know where there's a genuine Volvo NOS vario clutch available for cheap.

How cheap? I'm prepared to go up to 1 kidney, but no higher 'cos I'm nobody's fool.

I don't know...but I suspect significantly cheaper than anywhere else you'll find one. I'll send him an email....

cheers

Oh and don't let on I'm as desperate as I blatantly am

"Dear Rob,

Am I right in saying you have a vario clutch kicking around?

Feel free to fleece him rotton. He's desperate enough to consider driving to Derby to pull one from a scrapper, and he's from the frozen North!"

That do ya?

Just kidding...

cheers

It's about accurate. The sooner I get the vario running again, the sooner i can properly deal with the rough bits on my blue one. Then when the blue one's mint, I'll be selling an immaculately clean high spec vario. Unless my dad gets his envious paws on it.
