340 auto Drive Belts URGENTLY REQUIRED!!!!

[morgan105]

Hi All,

Has anybody got a pair of drive belts they could sell me or know of anywhere I can get hold of them as my wifes car had a belt collapse and need a set urgently to get her back on the road ASAP!!! as I have to take her around right now. Tried GSF but no luck there so if anyone knows somewhere else please let me know. I did find one place who had 1 pair left but was asking silly money.
I don't want to get rid of the car just because of a pair of belts...

Regards

Thank you Steve!

I'm going to phone my local brach in the morning and see if they have them in as I want to try and get them tomorrow as I have a bit of free time, but will order them and have them delivered if they don't have them in shop.

Very happy now! Chauffer work will soon be over and I can relax now.

Thanks again,

just bear in mind that if you can get them, the original Volvo belts will give much better results than the other makes, which are noisier and jerkier, especially when cold.

Well said Andy, that's exactly what I said to Morgan in an email about the belts before seeing this thread! Volvo belts all the way if you can find a set! I'm about to step up my search for a set, so if I find two, I'll get a set for you Morgan.

As discussed in a previous thread, the Volvo belts aren't necessarily better - only better in certain circumstances.

Thanks for all the input guys, I had to order a set and will pick them up Friday morning. They aren't the Volvo ones but at least the car will be back on the road and it doesn't really matter if they are a bit noisier for now as it will give a excuse to have the music a bit louder and if they jerk a bit it can't be anywhere near as bad as when the belt collapsed, rocking and banging of the whole car and everyone staring at you as you limp by .

Thanks again all!

Its better to have noisey belts rather than no belts at all.

[petefarrell360]

Morgan, just as an update to this thread, as the car is back on the road, what are the results of these betls?

I need to get a set for myself at some point, and also locally someone has contacted me as they need a set of belts as theirs have broken, GSF don't do them anymore and Volvo Stealerships want too much for them! If yours are ok, then I'll point them in the direction of Eurocar Parts. Their price seems good too!

Cheers,

Pete

I'd just klick on "Email" and fill out the form, "onderwerp" means "subject" ...

Volvo want £198 or so.......... probably not including VAT. However, I believe I can get them from Eurocar Parts, made bt Roulands for £36 or so........!
