Valve appears to have a very slow leak. Its difficult to see where from since its so slow. I am planning to buy and fit a new valve to save ordering time. Any comments on this problem? Does it need to be recalibrated once fitted? Is there a simpe fix like a ring or gasket once I get inside the thing...

Hi Bill Pleased to report timing belt replaced and no problems, as was expected. Replaced Distributor, rotor, wires, plugs and air filter. All were really due. She really wants to go now. Re splitting the belt cover. I hadnt looked carefully at the covering web below the crank sprocket. That rules o...

Lost my timing belt today doing 70 on the freeway. Have every thing apart and every thing seems ok. The valves are going up and down normally when I turn the cam shaft. I've heard that the 16 valve has interferance problems when the timing belt breaks but not the 8 valve. As I say preliminary inspec...

Hi Bill, Said I would be back to let you know the outcome. Bought a spare cluster on E bay and finally found a shop that could repair the speedo in the purchased cluster. The original speedo had more problems so thats why I went that way. Two shops were emphatic, this fault cannot be repaired. Appar...

Have you tried a spring coil lock washer or just a dab of locktite. Did you examine the female side of the thread? If the threads have gone there are a few solutions like oversize drill and tap or thread insert.

Hi Grumpy, Been elsewhere for a few days, like whale wathching down the beach. Waiting for a speedo cluster from E bay real cheap. I fixed a bad joint on the cap your talking about. The speedo runs all the time now but still has that silly offset voltage standing on it. The voltage does not show on ...

Hi Bill, looked at Sams bezel picture, its right on. Have depressed the clip and pulled, real hard, on the slot with a modified paint lid remover. Feels like its bolted in. Slid a hacksaw blade all around where possible, cant feel any screws or bolts. Have you ever had one of these out? The solution...

Bill, Thanks for the info will check it out. Any idea on how to remove the instrument bezel trim. my 940 is nothing like that presented in Haynes or Chilton. They show people happilly undoing screws at the side of removed vents and beneath removable screw plugs. From the drivers position all I can s...

Reply to Bill, Have had the sensor off, examined the leads and connectors. Looks in very good shape considering age. Do you know if the output can be monitored with a voltmeter and where I could get info on impedance and output voltage? It ran yesterday for about 12 freeway miles without any problem...

Ive been looking for a V70 lately. Carmax indicates that some V 70s have a recall on tail gates. might be worth looking into.
