Hello All

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).?

Anyone know of where I might get these?

Instinctively I just feel this is uneven wear on the clutch plate.. what do y'all think? javascript:emoticon('sm...

Thanks Will You know.. your probably right. I had a drive in her tonight and I think I am getting used to it. Also realised that the lack of progress accelaration wise is partly due to my "instinct" to knock back the accelerator pedal to "avoid" revving the engine (sort of a negative feedback loop!)...

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...
