stillOrange Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 My friend's brother is emigrating down under and is getting rid of his luvly Volvo.Here's a summary from Andy: Hey dude, here is the list from best I know. Boot hydraulics don't work so has to be propped open with piece of wood Leaks oil a bit when engines hot, not sure where from I don't think it's terminal I just top up the oil. Had to top it up with about 2L in around 3 months Headlights have stopped working just this week. I believe from research this is the cem and could be a tricky fix. Main beam and everything else works. The exhaust is blowing Paint work is scratched up from previous owner. Drinks petrol! In general the car is ace on the motorway i have done loads of miles with no problems. It had the cambelt and alternator belt done and has decent continental tires.Surely that's a right to sell a car like that.He will be chuffed if it sells for £200 but will be happy with offers.137k on the clock and MOT until the end of October. Currently near Stockport. Should have some interior pictures tomorrow Lacquer Peel, eddyramrod, Dirk Diggler and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 One month earlier and I'd be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingJesus Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 140 horse...my favourite flavour. I'd express an interest, but the headlight issue has me worried. I'm trying to get out of a money pit...Although I don't see how it could be the CEM, that was the curse of the 400s surely? Particularly the 480.

stillOrange Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 I have no idea what CEM is and what it got to do with headlights. If you want I can PM you the owners email. I do think he realises that 200 is very optimistic and will take offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the perfect a guide for the 850, on a V40 you can replace the relays in the CEM, but it is a solder job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Cool. How is the little green dolly doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuke Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Cool. How is the little green dolly doing? Sshhh... it's sleeping. Currently waiting for me to amass the funds for all-new sills. It's still parked right in front of the living-room window for maximum guilt-trippage, and Mrs_Duke has forbidden me to even think about getting rid of it.

purplebargeken Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Please tell me you are starting it up and running it at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuke Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Oh yes, but I'm definitely not* driving it up and down the lane, cos that would be illegal and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 For under 200 sheets, fuck the CEMwhatever, just take a feed from the switch through a decent relay and a fused feed straight from the battery. Instant headlights without hassle. djimbob, MrDuke and Jerzy Woking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
