The PAS pump is for the RB, it was not intended for the Amazon! It was a spare I got when I owned my 240 that I came across yesterday. Thought it would be more use to you than me. It came from a very late model 240 and I believe works.
Oil filters may not fit, they were from my dads old boat engine. I believe the thread and outer diameter is the same though. |

A helicoil is the professional way to do it, but I've also had some success with two part epoxy based titanium sticks where I've needed to bodge (https://jenolite.com/product/titaniu...UaAvCYEALw_wcB) You may find you don't need to drop the gearbox out to get the top plate off. Unscrew and remove the selector from inside the car, then from underneath there may be space to get a stubby screwdriver in and remove the six(?) hold down screws. It's a bit shameful that I never did this really, as the destruction would be massive should the OD engage in reverse. I used to just pull the wire from the relay (behind the dash) when I sent the car off for an MOT to ensure nobody did the "I wonder what this switch does" trick. With the back axle ratio being standard (non-OD) then the risk of reversing with the OD engaged is actually very low - I only tended to use it on motorways and the like, and if you'd forgotten to disengage it you'd realise before you came to reverse. Excuses... |

Initial Reconnaissaance
I've put GAM up on some ramps and had a look round this morn, here are are my first thoughts.
This is the hole I was concerned about in the OSF chassis rail: I'm not too worried about this, the rust seems to be quite localised so I think I'll get away with just cutting the the rot out square and welding in a patch to the horizontal plane - the vertical walls seem to be solid enough. I've ordered some steel, but there is no point starting to cut out rust until that arrives so I'll just clean it up and cover it over with some Harry Black to keep the weather out for the next few days. The oil leak I suspected seems nowhere near as bad as I thought it might be - I'll just keep an eye on it for the time being: The top of the engine looks dry, which is good: I can't see much wrong here: The front suspension needs a bit of a bit of a refresh: The heater unit has all been changed, so that should be okay: The inside of the wings seem solid: ... and it has an alternator, which will save me having to fit one. So, all in all there isn't too much that needs doing straight away. Now I'm off to get a tyre for the spare wheel. :-)

Seeing that heater unit reminded me of our 121 , “Electrolux” branded one on NNU635D.
Priceless! |

The relay isn't in the standard place for an Amazon (which is on the OS wing under the bonnet), it is pushed up behind the dash just above the OD switch. The relay is a lighting relay from a 240. I really wanted the proper OD sequencing relay and planned to connect it instead of the headlight flasher, but never managed to get hold of one.
I also have a vague memory that I chose not to wire it in the standard way (i.e. not in accordance with the Volvo wiring diagram) - IIRC the inhibit switch and the OD engage switch both act on the relay coil (rather than having the inhibit switch break the solenoid connection) as I felt this was better practice as the D type solenoid is quite power hungry. You may even find the inhibit wires are already in position just shorted out, I can't remember (it was over ten years ago). |
