Deary me!! I'm going to have to get the old lug 'oils cleaned out! I take it that there are 2 controllers that control the odd/even cylinders then? He said something like that... it was before 9am, no coffee consumed... hot day.... naked lady calenders.... you know!
How much do you want for the pair? Are these the plugs? Thanks again, Tom Last edited by RIPcompo; Jun 4th, 2010 at 23:28. |

I second that. I've nothing against people being old and doddery, but this chap is not knowledgable about Volvos. I don't have specific examples like yoda960, but I called there a few years back to ask about something on my first 240. I can't recall what the issue was now, but I remember being shocked that the 'specialist' knew a lot less than me about such a ubiquitous Volvo model, so I left and never went back. John PS this 960 looks nice - surprised it's not already been snapped up! Last edited by john h; Jun 5th, 2010 at 08:09. |

These chaps I have delt with and although top dollar are TRUE independant specialist. Who I would trust any of my five Volvos to without a thought. They did a sterling job when I broke down and had me on the road again in four hours.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for giving me first dibs on the car. Circumstances have changed a bit as I have since found via eBay an aftermarket cat exhaust section for our old car that's less than half the price of my usual parts supplier. It's just worth my while pushing our old barge through another years MOT so I'll have to bow out on this one (unless it blows a head gasket!). I think yours is a great car and it won't be long before a buyer comes along. Thanks for being so straight up about everything. Cheers, Gordon |

Thanks Gordon.
Thought I best update this following my trip to the garage. (the miserable b@$7ard that he was) I left it with him today to give it a look over. He must have done the fault checks again and something came up relating to a dicky air flow sensor. Following him clearing the fault, the car drives fine, but does not hold an idle and looks like a new one is needed. Nice one. He also noticed a small 1 1/2 inch crack in the exhaust pipe to the back of the car. It was of his opinion that a new MAF would set everything right. This said the car is still for sale with the aforementioned issues to take into account. I am going to reflect this in the price and am open to reasonable offers. Im around this weekend if anyone wants to come over. Tom |

WEHEYYYY Tucker drives again!!!!
As I never had the fob, neither did the chap before me - but I've had an auto electrician professionally bypass this, Problem he doesn't hold idle. Someone come with £650 and he's yours. All is needed is maybe a proper MAF (ebay one i got was junk) and a proper service and youve got your self a bargain!!! tom -07843 982 978 |
