cheers, no good to me, I wanted to use "Torque", never mind. I tried the scanner on my mates car and it works fine, i guess it may come in handy for something else. :)

My 940 has 265k on it now and still feels fresh.

I'm not sure about this nitrogen in your tyres malarky, ordinary air is already 78% nitrogen.

§§§§§§, typical swedes lagging behind, I expect they spent 4 years longer than everyone else testing it. lol

Mines a late '97 registered 940, i thought everything after '96 was OBD2 compliant?

Anyone suffered a fault with the OBD2 port on the car?

Got my ELM327 the other day and have found it wouldn't talk to the ECU, I got my bro in law to stick my car on the scanner at his garage and...

Got fed up with trying to get the fag lighter phone adapter to reach so I got one of these,

and one of these,

My 940 makes a sharp "Oooh!" type groan when the clutch is engaged, I suspect thrust bearing, i'm ignoring it untill I can afford to change the whole lot for a non dual mass jobby, its been doing it...

Sorry, wasnt supposed to come across as picking holes. :)

Orange leather may be liked by some, but its one of those things that narrows the selection of buyers. If you want orange great, but most...

Yeah but orange leather and can't even be bothered to balance the wheel? Looks like someone who don't care to me or there is another reason it vibes at speed? bent wheel maybe?

Decent tyres probably as well as more modern suspension.

My Cortina weighed 1100kgs and had 220bhp with a pronounced power step at 3200rpm as the engine came alive. I wanted to keep mine on the...

Decent tyres and slipper allowing anyway, my 24v Cortina used to spin up at 70mph if the road wasn't bone dry, got beaten off the line once by a turbo rover coupe because i couldn't get traction and...

Mines no competition, i'm only aiming at 250bhp from this engine plus i have to keep the interior.

I noticed last night my clutch is now slipping a bit if your hard on the gas when you go from...

Sweet, all I've done to mine is turned the boost up and mine also spins a wheel really easy, a locker is very high on my list although the list is getting longer and my doc still wont let me go to...

I'm not sure, but i think there is some serious underestimation of the required power going on in this thread.


Consider this, a late 2 litre injection Sierra had 125bhp and could do 118mph,
...

To be honest I dont know what he did underneath it, I do know it wasnt just a matter of bunging in a high power engine.




True, but it did have a lock out top gear and I had one converted with...

Sierras are quite slippy, and the 2wd Saph was the lightest cossie version, 151mph wasn't bad from just over 200bhp. The granny cossie with 195 bhp only managed 135 to 140mph depending on who you...

I had a 3.44 diff in my 24v Cortina, it used to hit the rev limiter at 131mph in 5th gear, so I hunted down a 7.5" 4 stud Mustang rear axle as its was around the right width, had the right stud...

I have friends who are trying to get a Mk1 Escort to 200mph, 450ish bhp takes one up to around 185mph, they have mates who took a Sierra cossie up to 214mph, it needed 800bhp, the door mirrors taking...

Not much to see at the moment but things will happen slowly, started with a stock 940 2.3 LPT, 265000 miles on it now and other than some damage on the rear quarter which will get done eventually...

Cool, cheers guys I'll investigate next time the weathers fine.

As I want to lower and improve the handling on the car i need to replace the Nivomats on the back but it is possible i'll still...

Is it as simple as letting the gas out and unbolting stuff from the engine bay? Or is it a dash out and replace with non A/C heater type affair?

I very rarely use A/C, mine blows about as cold as...

I had trouble all round, I'm 6'6" and my missus was 5'2" so I wanted a set with adjustable handles on the pram/push chair thing, for what we spent I could have bought another reasonable car. :S

Typically the one we had to buy was one of the dearest. lol
