The top picture is a 15'' C5 Steelie, that picture is 14'' S2 Rallye wheels

You'll need some rear end aero to balance that out ?

That Saxo would make a cracking engine donor for my Micra

You can tap into the rpm signal on the coil pack wiring, but the speed signal comes from the abs ecu reading the left front wheel speed sensor so you will require something that can communicate with that system.

I think you've chosen wisely at 80/80, On a 1 minute hillclimb you need compliance in the suspension otherwise the (cold) tyres loose lateral traction and just skip across the tarmac, I've always set up my hillclimb cars as with spring rates soft as possible and controlling roll stiffness with...

First hand experience crashing one of these in the 90's, it held up very well. Spotted a GLT at Kippax service station this morning and a 940, I think the owner works in the MoT bay.

Boston ! It's easier to get to the f**king moon !

Nah keep the Volvo it has soul, And when was the last time you heard someone say " Hey do you remember the time we went on a trip in your modern reliable comfortable car and nothing happened " anyone can drive something modern, it takes a true car person to run an old car just for the...

You'll probably get it cheaper from work but get the trans oil changed https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZF-8HP70-Automatic-transmission-gearbox-filter-fluid-service-kit-with-8L-of-oil/192006580948?hash=item2cb47bead4:g:UPEAAOSwYFpbNhHl:rk:2:pf:0

I'm preaching to the converted I know, but it's all the car anyone will ever need

Nice car nice colour, Change the transmission oil at 50-60k to keep them super smooth or they seem to get a little laggy on the changes, My BM dealer reckons it's sealed for life but ZF say change it.

I use the c-tek charger that came with my old Odyssey battery, I've had one for 18 months on a car that doesn't get used from October til March other than a couple of start ups, But as stonejedi says try not to let it run dead flat as it's a sure fire way to kill a battery

I use a 22ah golf cart battery, do the job perfectly and they're cheap

You need to do a live data read on the pre and post cat lambda voltages to diagnose what the issue is before spending beer tokens

I just eyeball the road car

Yep Vosa don't have the knackers to enforce it as you would have to prove they were likely to fail imminently It may change to a fail in the future

Buses now get advised to change tyres at 10 years old on their MOT because of that.

That ^^^^^

The tow cars unladen weight must exceed the gross weight of the trailer and the maximum allowable mass of the tow car and trailer must not exceed 3500kg eg. Audi A6 unladen 1450kg Audi A6 max laden weight 2080kg gives you a max trailer gvw of 1420kg ( get a 1500kg trailer and get the...

I must have viewed 30 cars over the years in Bradford and Huddersfield, Walked away from every one. Might get lucky though Bro and find that Magic 1%

Is it a dealer ?

From my experiences 99% of vehicles in Huddersfield are f@*ked, stolen, on finance, or on the police drug list

grill pushes inwards towards the radiator and has two plastic clips attaching it to the slam panel and the slam panel is held on with 4 x 13mm headed bolts on the top and 2 further bolts down in front of the rad bolting it to the back of the front bumper cross member

remove the grill and slam panel for a better look, if your using a 12point socket try a 6 point if that doesn't work tap a smaller size socket on to the nut

wtf do you know you sold the best Volvo ever made twice ?

Prices have gone silly in the past 5 - 10 years, I used to pay £500 for excellent condition 940 turbos before they were ''scene'', but basically Anything with a turbo and in good condition for the old 700 or 900 series Anything not rotten in the old 200 series Anything with 5 or more cylinders...

If it’s a clarion radio there are 2 types of code, some you can get off the internet for a couple of quid and some you need to go to the dealer with your logbook

What are the odds that the black piece of plastic in that picture is missing (feeds oil to the 5th gear )

"Reconditioned" is a loose term they normally just replace the part that failed.

Just take the end cover plate off the box, you can replace the 5th gear synchro ( and the gear ) with the box still in the car
