The other job I’ve done was to replace the outer window scrapes / seals
As you can see they were pretty bad and very brittle Got a replacement new set from here https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com...oducts_id=9939 To remove the old one it’s a bit more complicated than a modern car The scrape is 2 parts - a metal channel and the seal itself. The parts are just the seal You need to remove the whole piece to replace First you need to release the metal clip at the door handle end Then you need to leverage off the whole piece The set comes with a plastic trim removal tool and this is used to leverage off from the clip end and working along until it comes off Once off you can see it’s made of 2 parts - the seal and the metal piece that clamps onto the door skin and has the channel for the seal to slide into. The old seal is clamped in place by these dimpled sections so need to prise this apart to be able to slide the seal out To replace the seal, I used silicon lube in the metal channel and some on the seal to enable it to slide in nicely Once it’s in, cut to length Then replace the whole unit back onto the door - using a rubber mallet if necessary Then re-bend the end clip to lock it all into place Looks good…. Rears are the same just shorter JJ

Important job to do. All mine are done and the 32 year old doors are dry and rust-free.👍

Hope you're door pocket repair works, fortunately I haven't needed to do this on my 940 yet!! If glueing doesn't work, perhaps try a few layers of fibreglass mat with resin on the reverse side of the pocket, I think you can get colour pigments to add to the resin making it a bit less unobtrusive. Main thing I believe is to key the base surface very well first, and perhaps also include a stiffener, old steel rule would be ideal, within the mats to further strengthen. Cheers Steve |

Yeah it’s all going well - I feel like the car is still using a bit too much fuel and running a bit lumpy
I find that turning the pulley by hand that there is a massive drag on the power steering pump JJ

Have you done a compression test to see if all the lumpiness might be due to a mechanical problem? If not that may be a good idea: eliminate one thing at a time. Alan

So.... slack off & remove the power steering belt and see if lumpyness vanishes? If pump is dragging the crank....
