I've just acquired a R-Sport instrument cluster from my 164 - but the tacho suits a 4-cylinder only... Is there a 6-cylinder version of these? If so, does ...
Hi, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I'm about to make the move back to Melbourne for 12 months, after 7 years in beautiful Perth. I'll be back...
There are three different sizes of uni joints used in 700's, I can't remember which cars had which, Anthony Hyde's website has some info on this though. As far...

Check the condition of your radius arm bushes (sometimes called other names eg: castor bushes, the bushes which go between the control arm and the radius arm,...
Many thanks Angus, will check out the radius arm bushes, and front brakes for drag as suggested. Yes, I really need to find a 'volvo' mechanic south metro of...
Gidday all, Seasons greetings. Had a pleasant surprise today with a wee win with a small investment, couple of dollars available for the Ov. The 'R' type dash...
G'day all, A few weeks ago Anthony asked me to share my findings of how a Volvo M45 lines up with a Toyota R154. I've taken a few measurements and some...
Gidday Dave, Just found it on the Bay, thanks very much. Maybe it is a touch of senility but it does not look correct to me.!! Any comment , diplomatic of...
Gidday, Had a pleasent surpise the other day in the way of a meager amount of money surplus, now I know how Costello feels but on a very small scale. I am...
Les, Since your asking for opinions, I fell you really are potentially creating months and months of work for yourself, and the GT result won't be that great...
I agree with Anthony, and some additions: 1. Turbo cars tow well, but they suck the fuel. Without a trailer, my 745T uses ~11 litres for every 100kms. With a...
Thanks for posting the pictures Frank, that's a remarkably similar box to the W series Toyota boxes, I never realised they followed the same basic design. It...
... This is no real drama if you're using a B230FT from a 740 Turbo. They use LH 2.2 injection, which uses no flywheel sensors, only a hall effect sensor in ...

Hello all This small project of mine to simplify a '90 740 turbo wagon by converting to na & then running on straight gas is growing. Volvo has a very...
Yep that's right, they are indeed very similar to the W series. More like a big brother if anything. A better comparison between the two is shown here if...
Wow, towing a car behind a 240, that is pretty amazing. Read somewhere that car manufacturers accept that increasing the 'load' by 10% put on a given car...
Hi all I have just redone the front w/screen on the 240 with urethane instead of the hot kit to see if this stiffens up the bodywork any, and as suspected the...
Paul Remember to apply etching solution to glass so the urethane bonds well. Having recently removed a front screen, the hot wire inside volvo bead (activated...
Picture please,thanks.

Thanks Anthony I did etch and glass prime the front screen:). I like the idea of the rubber moulding I will do that with the rear. Urethane will be more solid...

My poor old '84 245 has done lots of towing - mostly carting rally cars and dirt bikes around the countryside. At worst, it was chocka-block full of stuff,...
