Hi Joseph, the old Volvo went to the scrap yard a couple of months ago I'm afraid. A friend has an automatic 360 but it is down in Bromley in Kent; I'm sure you could something closer to home though. Good luck, Volvopandy.

Thanks for your poetic message Bogbasic. If I wasn't planning to move house then I might have kept her for a bit longer & done some work but I've got two Fiestas & my lodger has just bought a car so I didn't have space for 4 cars! She served me well between 2004-2007 but after that I had to look aft...

Just a final update. My Volvo 340 has gone to car heaven unfortunately. No one came in for her so, as stated last December, she had to go before the Autumn arrives. I did try hard for nearly 9 months to find someone to break her up to distribute the parts but alas 'twas not possible. I'll be back on...

Was online so thought it was a bit sad no one had replied / welcomed you yet so: Welcome! I'm not on here that much but can tell you that you are on THE quintessential Volvo 300 site - some of the people on here are amazing! I won't be able to help you - I'm just a car idiot - but the geniuses will ...

Going...going... Hi Guys, Volvopandy here again. This is the final, final offer of my 340 1987 1.7cc. I've got a car on my front lawn that 's got to take the Volvo's space on the drive. It's scrap value, a breaker in my opinion; I don't have the time, money or expertise to fix her up & another winte...

Not sure if anyone will read this it's been so long since the last post! Anyway, the guy I was holding this for has reneged on his word and so it is still available - if anyone is interested, which I doubt really. I was fiddling with the sunroof earlier & made a hole in it! Obviously it was already ...

Hi Derskine, sent you a pm ref. the choke cable.
I think I've got a buyer who says he is going to fix her up & get her back on the road. Will update as & when.

Yeah "360 Beast" is spot on, Skylor - it's a 5 speed manual. Never had an ounce of trouble with the gears / gearbox. Bought a choke cable yesterday; will have to wait a few days for post delivery. When it arrives, I will pop it in & try re-seating the air filter housing ( not happy with that yet - n...

Yeah hasn't been on the road for 7 years Sam!!! Needs a lot of work. Not for you I reckon. There were a couple on Ebay the other day but one of them was very pricey ( about £1,600 if I remember rightly). Good luck.

These are the pics. Let me know if you need more.

Hi Derskine - will send you a pm in a minute.
For anybody else reading - tried for 2 hours to upload photos of my 340 - failed. Will ask a mate to help me out. Apologies. Bear with me.

Hi Skylor, will send you a pm reply in a bit. Look I've taken some photos of my 340 & I'm going to try to upload them tonight; trouble is I'm no good at that sort of thing! Also I finally have a lead on a choke cable. If I can get the choke cable, I might be able to get the 340 idling properly. I do...

Hi Derskine, how much for the choke cable? I have actually started trying to fashion a sort of Heath Robinson style fix for my broken (at both ends - by a thief!) choke cable! Nuts but necessary!

Yeah Bogbasic, I thought about it afterwards - Dan 91 must be saying that the base of the actual metal bottom / base has warped. Doh! I got it wrong again! I do love my 340 Bog but I just don't think I can do it. I can't afford mechanics fees and I don't trust them anyway. The probable front spring,...

Just wanted to say what a beautiful car Dan. Good luck with it. Volvopandy
