Can we help Bub?

[bub2006]

Thanks kind sir.

[ruffgeezer]

Looks a nice ride that, I remember an older lad at College having a 440 Turbo, bet that went nicely!

[chaseracer]

Is it Dugong here has a 440 Turbot?

[bub2006]

After being used to making the most of the sedate progression of the van I have to watch speedo closely. Picks up speed very well. The turbo models must have a kick to them

[tommotech]

These?

[bub2006]

Yes they the ones. Got a friend going out tomorrow to get a arm off a scrapper as I need car on road before thursday. I think the thermostat is jiggered as I sometimes get half or just over on the temp gauge and lovely heating or it reading cold and heaters not very warm. Also fuel gauge goes down but wont read over a quarter. I thought it had a big tank till I put 30 quid in and gauge didn't move

[purplebargeken]

Fuel gauge, normal for Volvo.
