Flying Moose,fishing as well as Volvos. That's about right,I know some top spots down here!!!!
OOPS sorry, I think this maybe classed as a thread hijack,sorry lads!!!
This is looking good for a meet, anyone else in the south of France around that time?
To the flying moose,where will you be heading to? Anywhere near Montpelier,if so, if Jerry is about perhaps a mini meet?
This might sound daft but do our volvos' have a cut off valve.My truck does,and so does the wifes' fiesta,it would normally cut off if you have a clonk so I'm told, but, being electronic, could that...
Count me in ,Only just picked up this thread.I don't have the savvy to upload pics but I think Jerry might be able to help on that one?

Silly question ,but I assume you've read and Cleared the gearbox codes.I had a similer prob on my old T5 and that cleared it.Hope this helps.

Welcome to the mod house!!!

If you got the laser blue,that looks like a lovely buy,I may have been tempted myself if the missus [aka the minister of finance] hadn't been looking over my shoulder LOL!!!!
Ditto Mattp,I too used parts for Volvo online.Quick delivery and seem to work well even in the cold.Little tip,warm the interior of the car before removing the liners,makes the plastic less...
Just done mine,got the struts from volvopartsonline 40:00 quid delivered,1 hour to do[thanks to the help I got on here]
Top looking motor.I think the wheels look the nuts personally
Working on a my old mark 2 cortina savage once,I took out the broken diff [teeth gone] and then proceeded to put it back in again, instead of the new one,how to waste a few hours on a cold floor in...
If somebody knows where to source another R version [after Andysr one of course] I'd like dibs on it please.
thanks in advance
