Thanks in advance. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1374153&rss=1 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:29 GMT I was wondering if they had good shine, fit properly, needed any mofifications, and whether or not you were satisfied with them. Would you recommend them, or recommend re-chroming originals? -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1374151&rss=1 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:28 GMT Does anyone know where I can get a headlight wiring harness upgrade kit ... to upgrade to H4's?

I guess i could drive around with the high beams for now. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1370916&rss=1 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 16:06 GMT what would be a safe way to bypass the switch? -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1370882&rss=1 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 13:42 GMT Checking the car this morning, I gave you all a little bit of mis-information ... The high beams DO stay on when I hit the floor switch. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1370861&rss=1 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 12:02 GMT The headlights flash high beams with the foot switch and with the turn signal switch. Neither stay on though. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1370784&rss=1 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 00:31 GMT Hey Brickboard, I am hoping you can help me out here ... My headlights were working fine this morning, and then after an afternoon cruse they stopped working. The parking lights front and back work, as does everything else electrical in the car. If I hit the high beams, they flash but don't stay on ... so only my low beams are out? The fuses are good, the bulbs look good, and it looks as though all the wiring is where it should be. Any thoughts on why my headlights are out? Thanks in advance. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1370764&rss=1 Mon, 7 Sep 2009 23:38 GMT Thanks everyone ... I thought it had something to do with the driveshaft. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1368105&rss=1 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:28 GMT Hey Brickboard, I've got an interesting vibration in my wagon. It only appears at speeds lower than 30kph (18.5mph), with or without braking, on soft acceleration, when slowing by coasting, and feels like it starts at the back of the car and then shudders all the way to the front. I know the wheels are balanced and my brakes are fairly new, so I am assume that I can rule those out. So I'm left guessing ... driveshaft center support bearing?? I don't know. Before taking it to the shop ... what do you think I should be looking at? Thanks in advance. BTW, it's got 340,000kms on the clock. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1368003&rss=1 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:48 GMT What is the Volvo part nyumber for a '91 240 speedometer? Thanks in advance. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1363889&rss=1 Tue, 4 Aug 2009 16:37 GMT So... Counter clock-wise for lean Clock-wise for rick Thanks! -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1360966&rss=1 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:32 GMT Right now the car in question is running well (B18 with dual SU's), but we'd like to lean it out just a little. Without starting from scratch and counting flats on the adjustment screw, I'd like to turn the screw towards lean, slightly ... so which way is it? If I am standing on the passanger side of the car, looking at the carbs, from above, what way do I turn the adjustment screw towards lean? Clockwise or Counterclockwise? Thanks in advance. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1360923&rss=1 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:21 GMT Sunday, July 26th, 2009, 10am - 5pm Canadian Volvo Club 29th Annual Family Day Hosted by Bev & Bev Hughes 22679 Wonderland Road North Ilderton, Ontario Car Show & Flea Market People's Choice Awards!

I'm guessing that his number was down for a few days or something. I'm looking for a 122 wagon aftermarket euro roof rack. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1353830&rss=1 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:29 GMT Does anyone know if Joe has gone out of business? Calling his numbers result in a guy telling me I have the wrong number.

I will check it all. And holding the pedal to the floor works sometimes. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1350484&rss=1 Mon, 25 May 2009 23:52 GMT OK, so last year we added a 68 122 coupe to our family, and it has an odd problem. If the car is driven for a short distance (20 minutes - hr), is then shut off, and then if we try and restart it after 1/2 hr or so it will not start. It will crank over fine, but not fire. If we push start the car (push & drop clutch in 2nd) it will fire and run. I'm thinking maybe the coil is getting old, or the fuel pickup in the tank is funky, or maybe it's time the upgrade to an alternator. Does anyone have an idea on what might be going on? The car has a B18, with freshly & professionally rebuilt carbs, a new fuel pump and a good battery. Thanks for your help. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1350427&rss=1 Mon, 25 May 2009 16:39 GMT Sunday May 24th, 2009, 11 am to 3 pm 8th Annual Waterdown Volvo Show & Swap Meet at APPCO!

I am concerned about compressing the new shock to get it in. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks. -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1338052&rss=1 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:55 GMT Does anyone know when the style of rear wiper motor and running gear changed for the 240 wagon? I've got a 91, and older styles look different. Also, my wiper works fine when the blade is lifted off the glass, but moves very slowly and sometimes stops when the blade is against the glass. Is this a sign of a dying motor? -- 'Drive it like you Hate it!' http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1335290&rss=1 Tue, 3 Mar 2009 17:52 GMT Awesome!
