Forgot to say, I spoke to the bloke selling this the other day - it is still for sale.

Here's what he told me:
It's a 1.7, 91,830 miles, and has a full Volvo service history. I think he works for a main dealer. MOT till May, tax runs out very soon. It has alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers ...

ITS RUNNING

thanks to Pete and a replacement fuel pump the car now runs , the only thing left to sort out is the choke dosent shut off when you push the cable back in ,we drove it for a good fifteen minutes with no problems the only other thing I noticed was the blower dosent work on the fast ...

sorry I havent got to those who have been asking about the car ,I am hoping Petes gonna pop round in the next week so that we can have a go at getting it started ( I would rather sell it running as I dont want to sell it and then find the engine is knackered and it makes transportation easier for ...

Watching this with a certain abstract interest at the mo

the cars been withdrawn coz he cant get it started

Just one word.

BUGGER!


Or more to the point: I'd still offer him the cash, but it's a bloody long way from home if I can't get it started. The Brick, or more affectionately, Katie, has a tow bar, but my trailer went west when the refuse wagon ...

I guess we'll have to speak very nicely to Mr P if we want a saloon rear valance moulded!

Hmmm, ok, I'm just not sure about the rust attracting, water holding, fresh drilling/screwing/rivetting in a nice clean rust free sill. Steve, do you think any of your rust problems may have been aided by the bodykit in anyway, or appear to have started near a fixing point? I'll still be in on the ...

A few things to be aware of...

1) Despite what the listing says, it doesn't have air con (at least not the rare factory system - the buttons aren't there).

2) The sunroof leaking is an easy fix. It's actually designed to leak into the 'cavity', but then the drain channels (down the windscreen ...
