[MCHUDD]

Hi mate.
Car seems to be coming along well.
I have four working central locking poppers cheap.
Also have a couple of rear door handles.
Goodness knows how much it would cost to post though.
Cheers Mark.

thanks i might have to take you up on that because there are not many in Australia and if there are there not parting with there parts
but the guy i bought the car off has a volvo and bmw service center and has one that he is striping but its a mark 3 not shore what bits are different that i need

[MCHUDD]

Hi mate.
Mine are mk3 but still should be the same.
Cheers Mark.

[ty360volvo]

can any one tell me how much some of these things might cost? also this a list of the things i need to replace if any one in Australia has any of these please let me know

windscreen
rear wing
center console ash tray
right back door outside door handle
rear right hand side mud guard
the cap off one of the windscreen wipers
heater fan
maybe a central locking some thing i am not shore i will see its not urgent
2 door handle outers for the inside of both the left doors
it also needs 2 tires
and 2 front discs

oh also tomorrow i am taking the discs down to a shop on the way to work to see if its worth machining or to just get new discs
the disc cost 40-45 AU dollars to get machined or its 90-95 AU dollars to buy new ones, i think buying new ones is the way to go but what do you guys think?

[ty360volvo]

the other query i had was about the horn witch i thort i had fixed but it turns out i did but only a little bit it works but only in the bottom right corner of the buttons
ANY IDEAS?

[ty360volvo]

It should the same alloy u have on ur car... I know mine is.

Volvo didn't get the hang of cutting too many corners with these cars!

[ty360volvo]

cool thanks i was only checking coz my boot carpet dose not sit right but ill work it out.

[ty360volvo]

my new discs! awesome!
on sat ill fit them i think will see what happens



i have a hole bunch of stuff i will try and get done on Saturday
re building my front hubs
also fixing the plastic thing that sits under the engine its busted so i am going to drill 2 holes and cable tie it together i think but i bhave not really had a good look at it yet, and changing the oil

[whiskeyonesix]

Ah, you mean the splash guards?... I think mine had them at one point - Perths rotten roads and the previous owner must have trashed them!

About your boot carpet... even since I put 195/60/14's on my rimz, the carpet hasn't fitted flush.

Just a question... how much did you shell out for the brake discs? I think mine will need some soon...


Tom.

[ty360volvo]

yeah the splash gourd is what i am talking about.
and I payed $95 each not fitted but I think you can get them from an ebay store for cheaper and ones with little slots cut out as well for the same price.

[ty360volvo]

well I tryed to get stuff done this week end but... well I got some stuff done I re built the front hubs and mounted my new discs and then I built my mounten bike then did like 140ks on my road bike and did some veldrome riding as well and went for a skate on my longbourd and now my legs hurt so much!!!!, and to top it of I skated to work and now I am going rockclimbing after work, tommorrow I am not going to be able to move my legs!!

I have some pics of the hubs and discs but I cant post them now I am at work and photobucket is blocked:(

tommorrow after work Ill put the calipers back on and try to get some of the other things off my to-do list done.

[ty360volvo]

ok here are a few pics of the hubs and discs
this thing on the first hub was so hard to get out!!!
it took like 15 mins of prizzing with a screw diver
the one on the other hub just puped straight out

yummy

this is befor i cleand the smaller berings and after.

this is the washer that fits at the end of the axel befor the retaining bolt it also comes in handy when deciding how tight to do up the bolt
shame the car only had 1 of them:(

my awsome lead light i found at work

shame the only bayonet style globe we had was a 150 watt
it was nice and bright untill.... well i have new ones now have not tryed yet tho

my replacment work light straped to my knee

already to be re greased and put back together

there it is mounted:) ps i must remember i have not bent the flange on the bolt yet

can i and if so what will happen if i ran my car on 95 insted of 98?

[whiskeyonesix]

can i and if so what will happen if i ran my car on 95 insted of 98?

Aussie 360's can use the 91-ROM kangaroo piss I think if needed - they don't like it much though. I always put 98-RON in mine or 95 at a push. I like to think there's a difference between 98 and 95, but that's probably wishful thinking on my part
