SE,

Thanks I'll have a look at the back this weekend, it seems very soft so it may be exactly what you say (it may also be that I'm used to cart springs on the landies so don't actually remember what suspension is! I have parabolics on my 109 and the first time I drove it with them on I thought she was going to roll over compared to the standard springs, so most suspension systems seem very soft to me)

Ton 377,
Put your fingers in your ears while reading the threads and it won't seem so bad if you can't hear us (I'll get my coat.....)

Ian

Hi Stephen,

I am pretty sure Mark bought the eBay car...

Two Black ones in two day's by two forum members =

My silver car also rolls a lot around corners etc...much like any Volvo does...the old featherbed routine, ok not as bad but I suspect she needs new suspension....she's an immacualte car and now I have PIRATE I will leave Hi Ho Silver standard...but the cost of the Sports Nivo's...near £600.00 no way i will ever pay that.

But PIRATE (newly acquired Black one) is awesome, I am certain it's on normal type shocks, not had a look today as it's still persisting down as it has been for the last 4 weeks.

I topped the oil up...actually about 3/4 of a litre in the end..not 'quite' as bad as I thought once it had settled overnight.

I have just changed the plugs, bugger me they needed doing, she sure fly's...just tested her again after I popped the plugs in, Dizzy cap, rotor arm, Oil filter and the usual new Oil filler capseal are coming into Volvo tomorrow morning.

I also finally managed to get my old spare injectors out to Jimthan today...if they make as much difference on PIRATE as they did on my silver car it will be a scary beast!

Forgot to say...Stephen, would you mind popping a pic up of your car, I want to get the wheels on PIRATE re-finished...but am tempted to go for the Anthracite type colour since she's a Black car....any opinions on this vs Silver wheels greatly appreciated guy's.

OK here you go , a couple of pics of my baby, soon to have the addition of the moose stickers, and boy are mooses addictive. Oh and it now has a different front spoiler on it now, will try and get some new pics of it with the new spoiler on it, if this weather ever gets any better.







It has this spoiler on it now off my old 940.

Not that slushy these days... LoL

Re a Sports register

Peter Milnes is the 700/900 register keeper, might be an idea to contact him. Peter.K.L.Milnes AT btinternet DOT com
