Re: Hello from the Cotswolds and a "343DL"
Looks a bit different to the norm...! How much of the 343 does it use? Still got the rear mounted box/alloy prop/Renault 1.4?

Re: 'Le Shitbox' 1985 Volvo 360 2.0 GLE
Welcome back... the forums are great, a far better format for information but annoyingly Facebook has all the users...!
Doesn't look too bad, a Mk2 GLEi injection is quite a rare thing! I'm sure there are companies that would refurb the MAF... Peugeot 205/309 GTI and some BMW's also used the same ...

Re: 1984 Volvo 340DL
Sounds like a nice example, some pics and a price ought to help your ad.

Re: 1982 Volvo 345GL
Unfortunately that's quite common with the factory metal tilt/slide sunroof - it'll likely be the cables at fault (which are no longer available). There are some plastic blocks crimped to them which break/fatigue. I'd be tempted to leave it shut!

Re: Anyone still alive?
Hi Dave,
I moved the GLS on a couple of years ago - new owner loves it and is in use regularly. So it would leave me 300-less for the first time in about 15 years! But there's potentially other itches I'd like to scratch and I may have less space to store it in future...
Hope you managed to get ...

Re: Anyone still alive?
Totally agree forum vs facebook format, certainly stands the test of time better for a large, searchable archive...! But unfortunately that's just how things are now!
Wouldn't bother with the poly route imo as they can increase noise/vibration and quite frankly a 35+ year old car is noisy enough! I ...

Re: Hi I’m new have a 340
I don't think I've seen inner rear sill panels before, usually these will need to be fabricated - but they tend to only need fairly localised repair and don't need to be that pretty!

Re: Final Drive Gears
You'll want a diff out of a 5 speed 340 1.4 - though I guess you didn't get them over there!

Re: 1986 Volvo 340 DL cutting out at low revs
That's a pretty impressive trek for a car that's been laid up for so long, glad it made it :)
Do you have an inline fuel filter? My suspicion would be that the long run has drawn some debris up from the tank. Worth checking the internal tank condition (there's a plate in the boot you can take the ...

Re: Fuel return
Maybe the pump is pumping too much fuel and overloading the return line?
I've not done it but it should just be a case of extracting the solid plastic line out of the chassis rail, reconnecting and feeding through. Not too bad a job but fiddly. If its a carbed car I would replace all of the fabric ...
