cheers for the advice guys. good to know there shouldn't be too many probs. If the ride is shocking, then i will look at uprated springs, but i'll give this a go first. I did read the ppc article, but i was already planning to do it from other peoples experiences here and on other forums. it was qui...

Blimey, i hadn't realised that. Just took a quick peek under the wing to see what was there.

So if it can't be removed, it'll have to be modified i presume, or do they not get that close?

What have others done?
cheers

wheel arch liner probs with lowering?

Planning to lower my 360 next weekend. The front tyres look fairly close to the arch liners at the moment. Will they come into contact if i take 2 coils oit of the spring? Standard 14" tyres at the moment, but i might go up to 195/50 15's shortly. If there will be issues, what are the solutions apar...

Thanks for the info guys. Do other models share the same pitch? i.e. will all volvo nuts be the same?
Still looking for a set though. Anyone breaking a 300?

wheel nuts wanted

Hi guys i need a full set of wheel nuts for my 360. Mine don't accept a socket or wrench on properly, and i've been told the steel nut can swell inside the chrome cover. I've found a couple of people willing to brutalise the old nuts off, but i need a new set before i can get involved. Volvo want £5...

What's the damage on a new one?

I think I'll also be asking you for some lowering blocks in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, i had it out last night.
There seem to be an unreasonable amount of play in the output shaft, so i think it's goosed.
I cleaned it up and got it spinning fairly freely, and it did whir once, but definately isn't opening the window.

Cheers for the heads up though, it'll make finding one easier.

Hi,

I'm after a window motor for drivers door of 5dr 360. (unsure if that makes a difference)

Anyone have a spare or breaking a car with e/w?

Cheers
