Volvo 340 DL - fuck it, it's staying.

On the fb page for these, prop shafts on the 'upgraded' versions seem to pop every few miles. They don't seem to grasp this. My advice is to buy prop shafts for these, store them and charge top dollar when they struggle to get them anymore.

 

Seriously, prop shafts are mentioned every couple of posts. Weird.

Yup. They cant take it. Gearbox and engine mounts can also sag and push alignment out, leading to accelerated wear on the rubbers. Usually only a bother on 1.7s. 1.4 manual and 1.7 props are different. Ive never seen a prop issue on a 1.4 running a stock engine. Doesnt mean it doesnt happen like.

It needs to be manual.

 

Sorry man, but if it was - it'd be sat outside right now.

 

Why the rush to sell? You only just got it, it's as smart as they come and at the bottom of the price curve. What's changed?? I know you were hoping to knock work on the head a bit sooner than previously thought, but I'd be hanging onto this until the end.
