Oil Filter

Post by **SteveP** » 27 Jul 2005 06:22 pm

Anyone know where I can get a volvo oil filter from for a 360? I remember seeing a guy selling loads at the national... or is it reasonableish at a dealer?

GSF sell genuine volvo filters i think.

Good point - and yep they do! £6... better than paying £6 for halfords rubbish....

If you're lazy, Volvo Vince always has some on ebay.

HOW MUCH??????

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask.

I had them at the Northern BKV last sunday at £4.00 each or £45.00 a tray of 12.

Unfortunately the post on these is £5.00 for a single and £10.00 for a tray.

I believe volvo vince sells them for about £16.00 a pair.

How does £15.00 a pair grab ya?

On that i am making about 20 p per sale.

i did sell them at the northern BKV at a loss just to attract people to the stall. This worked very well too as i found it better than the national for sales.

For those interested it was better than the national and packed out with cars in excellent condition.
one in particular was a 360 from Oban in Scotland, approx 400 miles to the venue.
the car was almost in original showroom condition.

Cheers for the offer on the filters, but I'll probably go to GSF as theres a branch about 2 miles from my house.

I think that'll be Kev with his amazing red 360 GLT? Damn nice car!

VolvoVince's are £17.25 shipped for a pair.

Sadly, the VOC Best Kept 300 2005 couldn't make it to the Northern BKV...just as well, as it'd got its butt kicked!!!

I heard the other day that KevGLT's car (the one from Oban) is actually the one which was on eBay for ~£700...in Tyne and Wear somewhere. George of FOTV3 spotted it for sale (I think he actually passed it on the street - he gets around that man!), and passed the info on to Kev. Needless to say, that's the way to get a nice 300 - patience, luck, and a friendly bank manager

cheers

Yep it is indeed... it was a fair price, however you simply can't get 360s in that condition any more!

Well he only bought it a month or two ago...

Ahh but when was the last time a 360 was for sale in that condition apart from possibly Hughs white GLT

nagh that 3 door glt was in equal condition imo, and there have been a few on the bay.

Post by **SteveP** » 05 Aug 2005 12:36 pm

Which 3 door GLT - the early mk2 one?

Post by **foggyjames** » 05 Aug 2005 01:17 pm

I'm guessing Hugh means the one that Dave bought....or it might be the silver one.

There have been quite a few nice cars recently - including the (grey?) GLE with leather, and the maroon GLT with leather. Interestingly, cars with leather *tend* to have been better looked after.

Can I just say...threadjack

cheers
