Gidday, Should have included this in the previous saga report. From somewhere I recall a good article on stripping and cleanig the Injectors, gawd know where. ...
Last night the local Top Gear show had a quick mention of the Volvo 262 "Bertone" in the segment "What were they thinking". For those that missed it, the car...
I wouldn't take to much notice of what those guys were saying. What were the producers thinking actually using them guys. They are terrible IMO. ... From:...
The show is pretty awful, but its getting better. They just need to stop trying to be Clarkson... Anyhow, the 262 bit was reasonable - didn't hammer it much...
I agree the aussie version of Top Gear is LAME, and I can't see it improving. So far they had a moke vs shark (what the ........??), bagged the 3 spd box in...
C'mon... the same criticisms could be levelled against the pommy show. But they are forgiven because they're funny (most of the time). Yes, they talked about...
Hi Ralph - How's the GT? I sort of felt offended, but then I remembered that I also thought it was a ridiculous car. Jockeys were the only people short enough...
Personally I don't like the British Top Gear series much, and I find the Aussie attempt at it considerably worse, to the point of being almost unwatchable, but...
I wanted to give the Aussie Top Gear a chance, and will keep watching it for a while, but it's got me worried. It shows flashes of brilliance but it's a bit...

I tried to watch ep3, i really tried to like it....its just boring. The presenters are boring, the way they do the stories is stilted and boring. None of the...

A happy Friday afternoon to you all..... Does anyone have any experience with LPG being fitted to a 240 (stock manual 1990 B230F)? The local LPG installer in...
I don't have any personal experience with Volvo's on LPG, but I've seen enough of them to know that it's entirely possible to convert a 240 to LPG. What your...
In Matt's case, it appears that the camshaft journals are not true, ie there's at some point been a warp in the head that hasn't been rectified other than the...

Thanks for the replies, Angus and Andrew. Unfortunately, there isn't a plethora of LPG installers to choose from out in the sticks. You are completely correct,...
'85 was the final year of the 242 I believe, they stopped selling them in the US after that, they may have even discontinued them in Europe a few years earlier...
