Am seeking an off-side front headlamp wiper arm (complete)..
also two gas struts for the tailgate on a 340 GL (in g.w.o obviously).?

I have just aquired a very solid and clean low mileage Volvo 340 GL Auto, with a full main dealer service history from new.
I have never had one with a CVT Clutch system but I am convinced that it requires some servicing and checking because it seems to rev far to high for any given road speed; also ...
