In the process of replacing a water pump on a 242GT I find the heater pipe (which runs from the water pump, along under the exhaust manifold to the heater hose...
This problem arises on the older Volvos & possibily the later? Have had the suggestion of making a replacement in copper. Any other ideas? Thanks Ralph...
Hi all 1986 760GLE (with the dreaded B28F V6, K-jet with O2 sensor and frequency valve etc). Problem #1: Has anybody come across a worthwhile solution to front...
Hi there , Surely you are not charging $30.00 for people to look at some old volvos.. I saw this email and was looking forward to such a display & I can easily...
I have had problems with every volov i have had with a cold idle valve... When i had a V264 with b28, without fail i needed to change the spark plugs at...
Hi all To clear up some misconceptions to view the display is free. The cost of $30 is for people who wish to display their Volvos and for that they will...
The message was regarding wanting to display your own car as part of the rally and you are not a member of a volvo car club. There is no charge to come along...
Craig This one has the later constant idle system rather than the (often exasperating) auxillary air valve. Doesn't mean the CIS can't be the culprit of...
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had an M46 gearbox they wished to sell? Doesn't matter if the overdrive is U/S. (I found out what happens when the output...
Thanks Frank - unfortunately I'm after an M46, however, I do appreciate you letting me know. Kind regards, Stephen C-S _____ From: OzHotVolvos@yahoogroups.com...

Steve, How are the bushes that link the two lower control arms together (they have a few different names)? These are notorious for having a short lifespan on ...
Hi Angus I replaced those mushroomy-shaped bushes a couple of years ago, based on the same advice which I think you may given someone else a while back. Didn't...
The later brakes seem to be much better, but still aren't entirely warp-proof. I managed to find a car with these brakes at a wreckers (a '90 740GL, auto) and...
Hello all...........as far as sourcing discs for 760 front end is concerned....check out a Sydney euro parts importer called Imparts Automotive on 1300 888...
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a later model wreck and just put up with the shudder for now. Even with freight costs FCP's prices are (mostly) way, way below ...
I usually go to Imparts if I'm in a hurry for something. Otherwise the yanks get my business now. I've bought ATE rotors as well as Brembo in the past. Also...
Ain't it true about US prices versus local Oz. Here's my example with the aircon heater valve for my 740: Alto Volvo - AU$160 Local non-dealer - AU$40 FCP...
