What did you do to your Volvo today? Topic is solved

Sorry, dude, my mistake. yeah, that sucks...

also the front windscreen wiper arms are knackered and seem impossible to obtain the correct one! i looked all over the web in the uk and ended up using r and d car spares in sweden not realising there lh drive only suppliers so now stuck with arms that dont fit and cost more to send back than they re worth!

hi its the wiper arms not blades,the blades i can get its the arms/stalks that i need and cannot find any new in right hand drive as the lhd are mirror image and do not fit correctly,i did find a used drivers side on ebay but remains to be seen if its any better than mine,i blame poor info on the r and d car parts website which fails to tell you the parts are for lhd only ,cheers

This is a bit hard to understand; do you mean they mount outboard of the headlight assemblies? Parts diagrams over here show two item numbers, 9151655 and 9151656, but it seems to be an issue regarding how the blade fits the arm. Maybe a picture, or a GB part number would help ?

hi all today i did an gearbox oil change on the 855 it was not real dirty looking and no metal bits around however the gears are stiff when you first start driving and loosen up to normal after a few miles i know the linkage is via cable can anyone tell me if these can or should be lubricated ? also the front windscreen wiper arms are knackered and seem impossible to obtain the correct one! i looked all over the web in the uk and ended up using r and d car spares in sweden not realising there lh drive only suppliers so now stuck with arms that dont fit and cost more to send back than there worth!
the breakers here are crap and lazy if you cant remove a part with a machine they wont remove it and so much good stuff is wasted right hand drive parts seem harder to find.peace

My apologies, what did Churchill say about our two countries being separated by a common language ?

Cleaned a C70 brace to get ready for painting.

Just cleaned the one I picked up, just not as thoroughly!

Don’t put that on the R, I can barely see you in the rear view as it is

Nice, I love cleaning old stuff up, and making it like new again. My project was along the same lines, but a bit smaller.... I just scrubbed my oil fill cap, and installed a new gasket

That's my method, too, do at least one thing to the car every day. Unfortunately, in my case I have a small herd to wrangle.

But I'll be quicker around the corner!
