Threads like this frighten me. Why does a company like Volvo produce such strange bits of engineering? Most of their 200 series engineering is so very reassuringly straightforward ....

If I chose my car again, instead of J reg I might try to find a well preserved far earlier 200 series car to keep the mechanics simple?

Anyway, very good luck in your problems here. I wish I could help.

I was half expecting the threads on the old valve to be imperial - at least that didn't tunr out to be the case!

Thanks for the encouragement :-)
