danthecapriman Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 700/900 series don't seem bad for cover. I've literally just renewed mine this morning for £148 fully comp with breakdown included through Classicline, that's limited to 3k max pa though.Haha, I expect prices are good because the insurance companies expect these cars to be piloted by safety conscious old farts... not sure what that says about us lot though! Managed to get a fresh insurance policy for £170 quid or thereabouts so we are once again motoring.I am celebrating with chips. The view is nice...Sent from my SM-G930F using TapatalkTop job on this though Andy, great car and it looks the biz! Probably my favourite colour for these. cms206 and Shirley Knott 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfowler2000 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 And now paradoxically RHD aircon valves are available whilst RHD not aircon heater valves are unobtanium. Aftermarket or otherwise they simply don't exist (New at lest) I've just had to adapt a Mk1 Golf valve to fit mine. Have you tried skandix.de ? They can get just about anything.

Felly Magic Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This and the COONCIL ESTATE need to be snapped together for that full on JRG brick experience. Andy you do realise that you are going to break the 'WINOMETER'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirley Knott Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Have you tried skandix.de ? They can get just about anything. Yep. Literally no-one has them, completely NLA in every sense. The LHD non aircon heater valves are available and look similar but are a mirror image of the RHD ones with everything aligned to the wrong side, part number for the RHD non aircon valve is 9447892, see for yourself what availability's like if you're curious In the end with mine I removed another grommet and fitted a Mk1 Golf valve slightly further down the firewall using a different location as mentioned, after I've extended the cables it should do the same job. It was quite an unpleasant task and involved removing the clutch pedal etc.... Anyhow, apologies for the minor thread derailment!

Six-cylinder Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I get pangs of wanting a 740 again and even went head to head with cms206 over VKD! I keep forgetting we still have a 740 GLE Auto! We have owned it from Feb 2004 and it went to live in Wales. First Mrs6C father then her ex brother in law used it. It won’t start now and I suspect the fuel pump or its relay. It run out of MOT April 2014 and really needs to be returned to the road before it becomes too difficult. The problem is that it is 200 miles away in rural Wales and Mrs6C father is not well enough to have it sorted out for us. danthecapriman, davidfowler2000, Shirley Knott and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Relay is likely but there's a handful of bits that can prevent running. Nothing too difficult compared to MODRINZ.Mine turned out to be a distributor full of oil. Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Can supernaut not potato shop his face on to that last picture then use it for dating? He would be happily married in seconds Is my white premium* German saloon not enough? Also, the problem with photoshopping my face onto a picture is that the face on the picture would then no longer be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms206 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 CMS_TOWERS downsizing in failing fucking miserably shocker. WIFE_CMS has threatened to learn to drive for a while but has been fucking terrified of manual transmissions so we invested* in an auto specifically for her, and started her driving lessons properly. Naturally she now has the newest car in the fleet, this 77k-mile 2002 Nissan Almera 1.8E auto with test til next March. It was a facebook marketplace buy on Friday night and seems in pretty decent order, a decent scrub inside should see it bob on. dome, Lacquer Peel, clayts450 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Fuel pump relay is ashtray out and a minor fiddle Lift pump is under the back seat and unscrew the cap on top. Main pump is under the car and again apart from having to lay under the car on your back is straight forward. The filter is next to it and I guess should also be changed. I have has a quick look on ebay, relay and main pump no problem but I can't find a lift pump. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Sounds easy enough with 2 Jack's, 2 stands, and a mat to lay on. We shall plan a caper at shitefest. Do the svm have a spare lift pump in their fleet of spares? Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the whole sender unit when I thought the doolally fuel gauge was getting a dodgy signal so the old one might still be about.

Thanks for the offer, I have bought a relay from Chartlon Volvo Parts some time ago I just need to find it. I am not 100% it is fuel pump/relay but we have had it running on easy start and it will not pick up onto petrol in spite of adding a couple of gallons from a can.
