Palmers 940 D24tic

[Palmer]

I'm going to use this space to document various happenings / doings to my newly acquired 940 diesel. Its a 2.4L straight six turbo diesel intercooler (D24tic)

It started out with me browsing ebay looking at a few motors, when I came across this. I messaged the buy with a cash offer and he accepted. So I filled my mates fuel tank the next morning and set off to Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Few piccies from the ebay add:

Original fire extinguisher!

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/T2eC16ZzQE9s3stuwbBRJOH1oW1w60_57_zps0cbea14c.jpg


Arrived in Leeds, looked over the car and accepted the deal, and began the journey home! After stopping off for a much needed Maccies of course! I was driving home mainly by myself as my mate took the wrong turning and nearly ended up in Manchester! Whilst I was on the A1 heading for home. Eventually he caught me up and I had a hoot of a game pulling in front of him and then flooring it so it covered his car in soot. As they say, if you cant smoke em' choke em'! Anyway this game ended with a phone call that described sparks coming from the rear of the car. Needless to say the rest of the journey was spent @ 50mph.

After investigating the next day there was jingle on the rear right wheel. Turns out it snapped the brake pad pin that holds the clip in so the clip was jingling. £3 kit from the local motor factors fixed this.


A few days passed and the car was running lovely, so I decided to clean the engine bay a bit:

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130305_144759_zpse0e6d8e2.jpg

And found this!! Trip to the welders needed lol

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130305_144806_zps19808d15.jpg

Anyhoo I didn't really clean the engine as they are generally greasy anyway so I just did around the engine bay and the bulkhead.

Let it dry and set off for my Dads, got down the road and my brakes failed - forcing me to rip up the handbrake to avoid the rear of a learner! Not to self: Handbrake is §§§§§ hot!

After a few days of puzzling and a second hand servo I threw in the towel and rang Steve, who appointed me to the fact the T piece along the servo hose should have a small vac hose in it. DOH! Found it down the back of the engine......



My basic plans for this car are to give it a major clean up, it was a "mobile mechanics" car so it is in dire need of a valet. Lacquer peel has also attacked the front, and seeing as my bro now has his own spraying premises a full respray could be on the cards at a later date. If the parts crop up - manual conversion too!

Every 940 needs a substantial horn of course.....

Single air horn, ive gone for the stealth look with everything being completely hidden under the headlight / in the bumper

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130320_135513_zpsf439ef77.jpg

Sounds the tits!

Installed my catch tank today....

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130330_141529_zps53a7fc1d.jpg

With which came the new intake

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130330_141524_zps97387718.jpg

Fuel Pump Mods

Turned the fuel screw in a little. Its pictured here with the yellow markings on

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130327_141602_zps34e3f37c.jpg

Simply wind it in a few turns and tighten the jab nut back up. Obviousely there is an element of danger, being a rotary pump it can "run away" and rev sky high until it pops a piston in ya face! However im still at stock boost, so a few turns just gives it some more oomph. Ill set this up properly, including idle control etc when I up the boost. (Checked the turbo today, no shaft play at all @ 185k miles!!!)

Next I modified the LDA, located on top the pump. The idea is to liven the ole' bus up a bit and make it more driveable / quicker to take off.

Remove the 4 screws on the lid and it will look like this

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130330_142008_zpscc9a3597.jpg

Carefully peel the rubber diaphragm up and get a finger under the metal disc either side, and gently pull up. Be gentle as if you use too much force, it will knacker the dowel that rides on the fuel pin.

It should then look like this

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130330_142515_zpse4112717.jpg

There is a plastic washer in their, put it somewhere safe, like in the bin!

Take out the fuel pin and look at the mark that's been made by the dowel riding it

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130330_142750_zpsb89e5515.jpg

Removing the plastic washer allows it to ride all the way to the bottom thus injecting more fuel per (longer) stroke, crank the star wheel (gear like object) down a few turns. This reduces the tension on the diaphragm and allows it to inject more fuel at a lower boost setting. It does increase smoke though. This can be fine tuned with the jab nut / screw on top of the LDA

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130330_143412_zps93111bbd.jpg

Before putting the Pin back in, note it is a shaft with an eccentric cone at the lower end. Rotating the pin to the more aggressive side (right had side in the pic) also increases the amount of fuel. It can be ground with a dremel or some sort to make it had a deeper ramp. My opinion is personally, get it done professionally. It needs to be 100% smooth for perfect fuelling and also the tolerances are minute, to an engineering level. So it will be better for performance if you get a pre ground one which is already at the limit, rather than guessing.

Overall: the car is **** hot! I need to fine tune the LDA with the screw on top as its smoking like a trooper on pull off (note: Black smoke = unburnt fuel = waste!)

But yeah, I am impressed with how jusy turning up the fuel makes it more lively. A lot more driveable is the expression id use, less throttle needed to get upto motorway speeds etc. And the auto box seems even more at home @ WOT.

Nice build thread mate keep it going

[c70geoff]

nicely done fella, look forward to seeing how this one progresses

[T5frankie]

why is it not wearing the volans you have?

[Kingsford G]

Nice buy mate and that horn is sick lol

[Palmer]

Cheers guys, im really looking forward to upping the boost muaha!

Volans wont fit without £300 spacers Frankie :/

The horn is epic, lets everyone know of your presence lmao

[Palmer]

Decided to rust proof the areas of the engine bay that are prone to corrosion. Aka the battery area and washer bottle area and chassis legs (I think lol)

Haha, James Bond will be so proud :D

Sounds nice. Good work ;)

[T5frankie]

well done mate

[iancho]

Your doing well mate, keep it up ! :B_thumb:

[Palmer]

Decided to make a bracket to mount the catch tank on so it was more "flush"

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130412_104931_zps9a0ca51a.jpg

And in place

[iancho]

Some serious miles mate... Nice one :B_thumb:

[Palmer]

Now, my car has had the EGR system vacuum feed disconnected, to stop it from working, so when in Rome....

EGR solenoid and pipework removed

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130417_134604_zps7d3ab863.jpg

Traced the gaskets onto sheet metal and cut them out with a disc cutter

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130417_143541_zps35033973.jpg

Tidied the edges up with an angle grinder so they fit flush, and then removed the burr with my dremel

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130417_143607_zps78f2357d.jpg


Bit of gasket maker and bolted back in place

Good looking project, always had a thing for these volvo's, Had a work car back in 2009 but 2.3 petrol, went side ways like a charm.. :D

Keep up that good work..

[Palmer]

This arrived yesterday

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130423_162558_zpsf77ea7dd.jpg

Set of new discs and pads, drive belts, auto gbox service kit, oil filter and a set of glow plugs.

Will be fitted with an engine flush, new oil, new ATF, and new diff oil.

Also tested this today

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130425_161806_zpsbebf063d.jpg

Just a mock fitting. Currently its back out and im filling in the right hand side as you can see it slope. Also the finish is pretty poor just a quick splash of paint to bring up any blemishes. Cig lighter will be relocated to the centre console.

Finally got chance to read through this! You do love the dremel! Best tool ever.

Just seen this same post on VOC. :D

[Palmer]

Dremels are good little tools, but don't get me wrong... no replacement for a disc cutter.... haha

[1112lewis]

lol!

[Palmer]

Few more vids for ya

Smoke on acceleration:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiISgHTURIo&feature=youtu.be

[Palmer]

And this was meant to be a smoke on foot braking but ended up slipping the rear a bit lol


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiIEl-Q2ZGs&feature=youtu.be

[Palmer]

Relocated the cig lighter with a nice flashy 3 soc one and usb for phone charging!

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130507_182256_zps4c3ffa2e.jpg

I've given the gauge holder to my brother to finish, was getting on my nerves lol

[Palmer]

Yesterday saw me invest the first "substantial" amount of money in "Sooty"

The days work included:

- Stripping all 4 brakes and cleaning them up, fitting new discs and pads. It was evident that they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. However, at 187k, only one sticky calliper was found, on the rear and it freed up with some pedal pumping.

- Replacing all 6 (yes, 5 and 6 as well!!!) glow plugs.

- Running some engine flush through, and then an oil + filter change.

- Servicing the auto gearbox with a new filter and fresh fluid.

- Draining the diff and fresh oil once again.

- Coolant flush and refill.

The work begins:

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_111234_zpsf979e317.jpg

New rear discs + pads

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_120425_zps45ccaf7b.jpg

New front discs + pads

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_120436_zpsa5ccdead.jpg

Servicing the auto box

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_173745_zpsb0dff636.jpg

The rear diff

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_185758_zps5d97bd86.jpg

Found all 6 glow plugs to be black like this, confirming they were ALL not working one bit! No wonder it sounded rough as §§§§§§§§s on a cold start!

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_123322_zpsaef6a076.jpg

And for those still pondering, this is how you change 5 + 6!!!

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130511_144401_zps85ae8174.jpg

It was also the first time id been under Sooty, and I confirm that the MOT it received was in fact more bent that a roundabout! I always had my suspicions because of the battery tray area rust and unsecured tray itself.

Whilst having a nosey I found:

Minor oil leak on the auto box cooler
Almost everything rubber at the front perished (sway bar mounts, bushes etc)
No cat, unsure as to whether it should have one or not
Hole in back box (confirmed by soot EVERYWHERE!!!)
Generally rusty (surface only)

So on the increasing list a manual conversion is confirmed (why fix the leak when its a good excuse!)

And probably some better mounts / bushes etc. The engine also has a massive amount of rocking in it, if you wobble it its like jelly. So probably solid mounts too, been told that's good for power :D

Waxoyl the underneath will also be on the list.

I think its safe to say its been neglected, but its had the "essentials" covered.

Ciao for now :D

[Palmer]

Boost gauge....

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130523_154228_zps5f69b0cd.jpg

Yes, I know its on the passenger side! I can still see it though as I have my seat all the way back.

When I get an EGT gauge I will order a holder that's angled... if I can find one lol

[Palmer]

Well I've started the cleaning process... I have a bit of an obsession when I clean, and today was no exception!

I got some good second hand carpet for the front, mine are all worn and "holey," so I gave it a shampoo!!

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130614_121056_zps0c01fa38.jpg

Then I dropped the rear seats, and shampoo'd the whole rear, a job ive been meaning to do:

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130614_120612_zps0ee16975.jpg

Whilst doing this I noticed how dirty the head lining was... so I reversed the head of the pipe and shampoo'd that too!!!

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130614_120618_zpsc672eb59.jpg

Just to give you some idea.... this is a bit I missed; forgot to unclip the sunblind

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130614_125407_zps13e0cd0b.jpg

Massive difference! Its come up so clean!

And this was the water.....

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130614_123851_zps48edcaa9.jpg


And no matter how much I try, I can never lose my car in a car park.....

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130614_094406_zps0764f975.jpg

Manual conversion is also sat in my garage.... ;)

[V70 Graham]

Good work, that water is dirty ! M-R-P gave my mats the once over last time I was at his, I can't believe how much dirt those cleaners get out.

[Palmer]

Oh yeah the stuff they get out makes you think twice about eating a chip you dropped on your seat lmao!

LED backlighting on the dials.... :)

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130622_214952_zpsea5db705.jpg

[Palmer]

Had a little trouble installing this, got confused with the wires! When it said ignition feed I didn't realise it meant from the ignition switch, aka a thick red cable. I was using the cig lighter 12v... Kept blowing fuses. So beefed up the wires and done it right!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N9vBcShw84

Kudos to Mike (Alder) for pointing me in the right direction! Seriousely owe this guy so much - hes now dubbed "the electrical guru" or TEG for short ;)

Did make me laugh when I asked if I needed to beef up the grounding wire and his response was:

"Nah don't worry about the ground as the solenoid is grounded through the engine block back to the battery, I doubt you could find a wire thicker than the chassis rails to be honest...... "

LMFAO

[Palmer]

Got this done over the weekend :P

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130803_150242_zps8499a9ae.jpg

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130803_144231_zps170e5185.jpg

Sounds awesome!!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzSYxq8tuwM&feature=youtu.be

Also this happened :)

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130803_085501_zpsbd52ef1d.jpg

[AndysR]

Nice work, exhaust sounds good :)

[Palmer]

Hehe sounds epic lol

[Palmer]

Well today saw me tackle a problem I was looking forward too..... Changing over the front carpets and shampooing all the car + seats!

Didn't realise how dirty the seats were... can you tell where ive been? lmao

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130806_143615_zps79ec9780.jpg

A nice shot through the car

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130806_143622_zps61d2223b.jpg

All in all it took me around 4.5 hours. That included:

Shampooing front + rear seats
Shampooing rear carpet
Cleaning + lubing front seat rails
Removing old front carpet and finding a massive puddle of water on the drivers side!
Drying said puddle and fitting new carpet on the front
Chucking the seats back in
Put new mats in :)

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130806_171350_zpsa9c1d2bc.jpg

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130806_171357_zps7199497c.jpg

The puddle was a heater valve failure in its past (im presuming)... would explain why its just connected with a copper pipe....

[Palmer]

Right...

Not really been updating much due to the fact I've been busy with work. Came out of training and have been smashing all the overtime available and also been performing very well with my colleagues I started with. We where hired to rough some feathers and it seems to be happening... :)

So yeah basically some updates coming more often, a lot more money coming from work that I thought id ever get in this type of job, just got to finish paying off some things from when I was unemployed for a few months and then there will be some serious money invested in Sooty.

I've been getting depressed lately as there is so much work that needs doing but the car never fails to make me smile though, and always reminds me what its about. I love the tractor type chug it has on tickover, and that it goes silky smooth (6 cyl style!) under load. It truly is a fantastic engine.

Turns quite a few more heads than the petrol one ever did. Whether that's due to soot could or the scream it has at 5k I don't know, they are a very loud engine! And the turbo whistle with a cone filter is pretty awesome too!

So yeah, feeling motivated :D

[Palmer]

Guess the new part...

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130817_125654_zps342bd0d0.jpg

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130817_145029_zps31bf032d.jpg

The idea was to do the cambelt as well, but I was supplied with the wrong one meaning it all had to be put back together!!... with the old one... so Sooty is whining at having the old one put back on! Hoping to get a new one and have it done this weekend....

Also sooty has a friend :)

http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/Palmer948/20130818_143837_zps7de91a4d.jpg

So a few 960 type upgrades coming soon!

[Palmer]

Dunno about you lot but I get pee'd off not having a cupholder...

Original set up:

Had some fun today....

Which resulted in a 960 tailgate + rear lights on Sooty!

also swapped over the boot carpets from the 960 as well as they were unmarked, unstained and generally better

Good progress mate, coming on well.

Today I went inside the 960 and looked up:

"OOOOO that's nice headlining....."

So out it came!

And soon after my drive was a mess... The 960 had a lovely tinted sunroof so I had that too!

And sooty looked a bit bare inside!!

She did look like this:

But now I think it looks much better

Even replaced the plastic trim at the front of the windscreen which was a brown pants moment!!

Also changed the gauge set up

100 times better with the dark headlining, good work.

Cambelt has now been done along with the pump belt!

Now however has developed one MONUMENTAL oil leak. On the turbo side everything below the head is covered in oil, and on the passenger side from the cam cover down.

Ordered a new gasket and hopefully get that fitted soon!

Week off too now so more updates....
