I've dragged home an 84~ish 265GLE with a blown head gasket. I'm taking the front brakes, and steering rack, but basically everything else is up for grabs ...
Hi Nic, Thanks for your response. Not too worried about upgrading the motor any more, as the 244GLE is my P-plater daughter's first car. The GT, on the other...
Ok i was trying to find why the 240 keeps stalling and idling like crap, and i found this little "cannister" in the vacuum advance line as it goes onto the...
When "super" petrol began to be phased out and octane ratings generally went south, pre-ignition/detonation (pinging) became a problem. Part of the solution...
The small diameter section of intake hose and the circular box thingy with the complicated mess of hoses attached to it is all part of the egr (exhaust gas...
Forgot to mention: another part of that particular egr system is a thermostatically operated vacuum controller which is screwed into the cylinder head,...
Thanks for that information Steve, it is much appreciated. I think I will take (careful) remedial action. This Volvo seems to have more vacuum hoses than a...
While i had it out, it "accidently" fell to bits and a little rubber diaphram "accidently" fell out, so it just has the filter in it now. Car idles much...

... Did you try Berry Motor group 9874 5544? Or Anthony at Swedish wreckers 9336 2028? The ecu might be in limp home mode. But i'm not sure if that effects the...
Hmm ok, FCP say the don't have one in stock but if it's the same as a 240's one then they would actually, got a source on one from the US which use the same...

DS2500s and a rat-tail file... For the price, they're hard to beat. The elongated holes don't matter - I lost both pins from my 164's LHF caliper and did...
