For Sale Volvo 440 GLEi auto £100 Fife

[DodgyBastard]

Up for sale is this reasonable condition Volvo 440 GLEi 1.7 auto, mot is until March 2017. I got this a couple of months ago and drove it back up from Stockton on Tees, it performed faultlessly, the autobox was reasonably smooth and it was generally a nice place to be.I took the car on a tour of the Highlands and it was such a pleasure to drive, the suspension is soft but firm and the fuel economy wan't too bad at all.[]A week later while performing some spirited driving on Fife's coastal roads the car cut out on me and wouldn't restart.Initially I thought it had run out of fuel so I went and filled up a can and tried topping it up. It made no difference so I tipped a small amount of fuel into the air intake and it fired briefly but after repeatedly turning it over the started motor started to seize up.The AA brought the car home for me.Upon closer inspection, I think there's an inertia fuel cut off switch on one of the front suspension turrets, in hindsight if I had known about it I could have reset it at the roadside and been on my way instead of wrecking the starter motor...]Anyway I have a spare starter from a 2.0 auto 440 which a friend broke for spares, I also have a spare fuel pump. I haven't really had time to try sorting the 440 and feel quite bad about it going to waste so thought I would offer it up here for cheap in case anyone wanted it for spares or to be put back on the road.

It's been sat here for a couple of months and the battery, stereo and most of the bulbs have been removed for other cars. I did a deal with a scrap man for a 306 estate which I have since sold so if nobody buys it, it will get scrapped which would be a bit of a shame.
