Wanted Haynes manual for p reg Volvo V70 5 cyl

[bangernomics]

Anyone got a 328 estate preferably automatic? Cheapness?

[Coprolalia]

When you select gears it has no drive and makes a horrid sound.

 

I think it is very old, my guess is around 40 years but I can find any information on it. It would suit me to repair this as security is an issue so new new shiny one would be gone in hours.

 

Next time I am up at the field I will try to photograph the gearbox area.

 

Edit - I should have said it is a manual gearbox.

 

That's a Westwood Gazelle, probably a W6. They were made in the late 80s. The Tecumseh will probably be the replacement for an original Briggs & Stratton engine. They come up on eBay fairly often as scrappers, but they're also sought after in the Lawnmower Racing world (how I've come across them) due to their light weight.

Gearbox should be a replacement part easy enough.

There are manuals on Westwood's website for all the mowers they've ever made, so you should be able to find one for it.

 

 

 

Anywho,

Does anyone know of a Mk1 VW Caddy diesel or Mk1 Golf diesel being broken?

I need a set of Mk1 diesel dash clocks, but they're hard to find. There's a few on eBay but they're all imported and near £80, which seems a bit scene-taxed to me.

[bigfella2]

Have you tried caddy forum?

[Coprolalia]

Now been offered one so all sorted!

Sixcyl, I have just popped into the mower place and I couldn't find any of our previous correspondence but the people were most useful . Is yours a 4 or 5 forward gear and 1 reverse. Good news , bad news ..... if you have a bad habit of changing gear whilst moving you could of stripped the top cog because of no synchromesh . Apparently readily available, 8 bolts off the top of the box , easy to see . If that looks OK it could be selector arms things , not so cheap .

New gearbox still available.....

£418

Still wanted

 

Alloy XUD sump with mountings on the side for Aux belt adjuster.

 

This is for the 405 I broke at the end of summer,  mountings for the air conditioning compressor as well for preference.

 

Please check your bridge bound 405/406/306 Xantia's etc

 

Many thanks

I have tried the Westwood site and all the models even back to 1984 look newer with more details bonnets, ignition keys etc. Mine is very plain so may a cheap model for a non Weston market?

 

1984 is the oldest on the site, did Westwood make ride on mowers before that?

Thanks for looking, I am still struggling to work out what model it is.

 

I can't remember if it is 4 or 5 speed and no marking on the selector. A new gearbox is out of the question, if I can work out what machines have the same gearbox then maybe I can buy a spares machine.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Can you not send the gearbox off to a specialist?

[Six-cylinder]

I don't want to spend the money.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Oh.......

 

Is it more than a new mower?

[Six-cylinder]

I am guessing it will be more!

A used box might be around £100, on my quick scan of the internet.

I started out thinking I was going to buy a replacement mower, as tatty as possible to stop anybody wanting to steel it from me, but in good working order.

[Eddie Honda]

 

Go on, have a butchers inside.

[mitsisigma01]

As stated the top of the gearbox off , have a look , say what you see , if it's the top cog , which if worn will be nearly toothless , bish bosh try a new cog , if not buy blind eBay special , take a chance . A mower shite gamble !!

My local dealer said he has a scabby ride on coming in soon, £600ish !!!

[mitsisigma01]

Have you had the driven wheels off recently , if not relocated properly, mashed teeth =no drive .

Do you change gear whilst moving = mashed top cog .

[mitsisigma01]

Ebay find a fooked engine with a good box or hang around your local friendly scrap merchant , you could get lucky ! I do

[blackbart]

Anyone have an alternator in the midlands for a peugeot 206 2.0 hdi on a 2002 plate. apparently there are a few different types, and as my shitter luck would have it, i have got the wrong one off fleabay. 

[blackbart]

This is a bit of a long shot, but my mate is looking for a tailgate for a 2010 c class mercedes estate w204 model. 

If anyone knows where there's one in a breakers, or any info would be great.

Cheers all.

[Station]

I could paint it, but it would mean buying a can of satin Black andnpainting it etc... its just easier to find one.

They do indeed break easily, because they are a single piece and the clips that hold them on break they do go missing like mine did.

Did you find the gear gaitor and gear stick?

I have a gearknob here. I couldn't find a gaiter that wasn't in tatters. I'll be going to scrappy next door which is a bit more classy, and might accidentally drop one into my pants lolol

The garage at the bottom of my road has a few breakers,  one is a w reg 306 diesel that the former owner described as 'fast'.  If it's an XUD I might want the sump,  if it is an HDI then it might have the right alternator.

 

Clee Hill so technically the midlands.

It's a Pig spill kit. It's full of absorbent pillows used for soaking up oil spills etc and used in rally events and horrible road accidents.

The round shape of the container means I'm constanly moving it round my garage along with those blue storage containers I have.
