Wanted 340 headlamps for left hand drive

Hi,
I have a 1986 UK 340 in Spain and to pass the roadworthy I needs a new set of continental or left hand drive headlamps.
Does anyone have a set for sale or know where I could get some from?
Thanks for your help.
John

Creaking steering column

My 1986 340 has just started making a creaking noise in the steering column. The noise is getting progressively louder, although the steering feels the same. There is no play or slackness only a creaking sound. Does anyone know what could have cause this noise and how it could be fixed. The car has ...

Re: Alternator Problem 340 B14 engine

Thanks for the help. I think that the voltage regulator is built in. If so, what's the best way to replace it? There are screws and black plastic plate on the end of the alternator - it is an easy job to replace the regulator this way (and maybe do the brushes too)? What about the option of just put...

340 Speedo Cable

Hi,
The speedo on my 1986 340 is getting a tad shaky, tho it's OK on the higher speeds but the mile counter and trip mile have also stopped working.

Many thanks,
John
