Volvo 960 Estate. Spares/repair.

[Buzz1964]

This was my favorite 9 series but moving house and loosing workshop meant that come mot time I had to lay it up. Brought a 940 estate from a friend. Fast forward 5 years and I've built a new shed but in my opinion the 960 is now terminally riddled with the dreaded tin worm, both front wings and several areas underneath. Pity coz it still starts and runs fine. Just under 193K miles.
I'm looking for £250 ono. Down side it will need trailer and I'm located near Lampeter in beautiful West Wales. If you are interested it is best to text me on 07970 514999. Going deaf so sometimes don't hear the phone.

Sad to see the corrosion has started!
If you don't sell the whole car, would you be open to breaking for parts?
Looking for a set of injectors for mine as I'm chasing a PITA misfire.

Pretty certain you'll find those are the later version of the injectors you have in yours. I found when i needed a set for my 760, the injectors quoted for replacement on the Bosch site also serviced the 960 and the Vaux Omega V6. They also benefit from being a 4-pintle instead of single pintle design.

Of course if the OP is willing to break the car as you've already asked him it would be rude not to continue but if they've been sat doing nothing for several years they'd probably need a refurb/test before fitting in any case. For that, i'd suggest :

The prices are per injector for refurb but why not get a set of NOID lights and confirm every injector is getting a signal (it's full-group/batch-fire injection so they all fire at the same time) and also check your coil-packs and the wiring to them as they've been known to cause problems on the straight 6 engines.

Cheers man, great info re Omega injectors. Certainly cheaper than anything with Volvo in the title

They're definitely getting signal as the misfire is only at idle. With normal driving, it's fine.

Someone elsewhere suggested intake manifold gasket but who knows.

Is it a rhythmic misfire and/or does it take a short time after dropping to idle for the misfire to appear?

Would you be prepared to take the handle unit off the outside of the tailgate if it is not yet sold and you are breaking it?
If so, how much would you want for it posted to GL54 2LH?
Thanks

Thinking about it, I need it for a late 940 estate - are they the same on the 960?
