I have one of the 1987 launch cars, a red ES, for sale. I bought it from another member several years ago and drove it home. It has been sat under a car cover in my front garden since!!

Re: Wanted: 480 automatic
I really do have to bite the bullet and sell my Turbo. Its currently SORNd but have no doubt that it will fire up first time. It needs an MOT and the only things that need looking at are the SRS light comes on and then stays on. This is an easy fix with a bridge resistor. Airbag will still work!! It...

Re: Coolant leak !!!!
I didn't know that the car will turn the engine off if the water temp reaches 135 degrees. My Turbo was cutting out and not restarting once it got hot. No coolant leak but could it be the temp sensor playing up?? Any answer welcome!!
Cheers all.

Help!
Hi Jim,
My throttle cable just went (the spring end clip at the bulkhead, I think this is a common problem). I don't s'pose you have one knocking about by any chance? Cheers.

Re: Auto gearbox and Dexron fluid.
Got the correct fluid off Volvo. £23 for 4L so cheap too! Just finished refilling and already the auto box is way smoother through the gears. This is a really easy job to do so if your car has done over 100k then I'd recommend you do it.

Auto gearbox and Dexron fluid.
Asked GSF to tell me which fluid I need for my auto box. They said Dexron G (based on the car reg). They don't stock it and can't get it quick so I asked Volvo. They got it pronto and it turns out to be Dexron 3 (for all ZF boxes in the 400 series) HAve I got the right stuff? How do I find out if mi...
