C-reg 240GLE estate for spares reclaim

Audrey Old · Jan 14th, 2014, 19:36

Had a look under the floor of my car yesterday, and its very rusty, uneconomic to replace unfortunately. Everything else about the car is fine: electric windows, smoke grey with dark grey fleck cloth interior, 5-speed manual gearbox, mileage unknown (mileometer doesn't work), 2.3 engine and brakes fine.
Faults: bonnet release stiff/seized open, one tailgate strut missing and kids chucked stones at windscreen and one headlamp with predictable results when I left it outside its garage one night.
Excellent wings etc, far more valuable as a spares car. Available for sale complete if interested as I don't want a ton of scrap on my frontage, but am prepared to remove items not needing crane, and post.
Car in Redhill, Surrey: will photograph bits you might be interested in if you PM with your e-mail address (can't do pics on here).

Just out of curiosity is it you who lives in the bungalow with 3 or 4 240 estates on the driveway, side road just down from the McDonalds?

Audrey Old · Jan 14th, 2014, 21:51

Yep! Only 2 240s at present (both non-runners) as my son is using my daily 240 driver for a bit. The other cars visible are my newly acquired 264 currently undergoing a bit of work and my new-to-me 740 which will be my new day-car as my son likes the 240 so much (cos it didn't cost him anything!). Then of course there's his dead Ford Transit......

Ah good stuff, i havent passed by for a while, but my brother lives down the road in Horley. A few years ago before i bought mine i was going to knock to see if any were for sale. I wondered if they belonged to a forum member, good to know.

Dont suppose you have a rear axle with a ratio of 3.31 or 3.54 lying about under a 240?

heckflosse · Jan 15th, 2014, 18:14

You need a GLT for the 3.5,or also a 260, and a super rare four speed 230KH for the 3.3
Most common diff is a 3.9.
Happy hunting!
Perhaps try the Volvo breakers at Wyboston (near the black cat roundabout)?
they may help.

My 240 is a 4 speed B230KH, but there were two options for the diff 3.31 and 3.73, don't know which was fitted but I suspect the 3.73.

Apologies for the threadjack!

Hi do you have the full hockey trim set available along with the front and rear long pieces that go across under the grill and boot? Thanks
