Non runner 740 GLE for sale

740 Brickowner · Oct 25th, 2009, 10:05

Hi folks,
I want to sell my 1998 740 GLE Estate as a non runner, it has tyres in good condition (spare is new-unused) and the new radiator I had fitted has hardly been used. My wife wants it off the drive to free up space. Could be a project for someone or used for spares, as bodywork and interior not in good condition.
Any reasonable offer considered.
Location Merseyside England.

Hiya,
I have a 1988 Volvo 740 GLE estate which has been running fine untill last week. Now when I start up it runs very rough, will not rev up, rev counter hovers around 3000 RPM (though no way is the engine reving to this) and only runs better when running out of petrol.
Have Checked fuel pressure, ignition timming, cam belt,air leaks,electrical connections, fuel meter unit + relief valve cleaned, replaced distributor cap it seems to be getting to much fuel, as I have mentioned it only seems to run better when runnig out of fuel.
Is there anybody out there who can help me?
It has a Bosch K Jetronic Fuel Injection system,
Kind regards
