  • Cheers DMC,

    just the 'Something converter bush' thats needs clarification then.

  • My mechanic has sent me on a quest to get these parts.

    I cant understand his writing. Can anyone decipher what it is he wants? Also where I can source them from?

  • its a 244 1979 volvo. just chasing the logo really. grille still in ok condition

  • Lost a wheel hub driving on the dirt. The alloy ones that go on steel rims. Anyone got spare?

    Also chasing rear mud guards. Preferably with a white volvo logo.

    Also chasing a new logo for my grille.

  • sorry did these grilles get sold?

    I would like an egg crate grill.

  • The car was my grandmother inlaw's car and in 2018 I got it for free. So I spent $5700 getting it back on the road. Put a new battery in, got 4 new tyres aligned and fitted some IPD kit and interior replacements. Got it serviced from Hans, the German European car specialist in Townsville (and owner of a 245 & 242GT). It included fuel distributor rebuild, warm up regulator rebuild, new water pump, new mounts and bushings and some other minor things for the road worthy. I replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils and drove back home to Cairns. In Cairns, I sanded the roof and bonnet back, and sprayed it with primer. I took it into East Coast Panel who matched and sprayed the paint.

    Its been sitting in the garage since and this year I let the registration lapsed. I have been turning it over regularly and still runs well. To get it back on the road it would need new brakes. It would also need a new torque converter seal because It's leaking transmission fluid.

    Still have original paperwork and 2x original keys sets. Since I acquired the vehicle, I have been spreadsheeting the work completed and costs associated. It also includes fuel consumption readings. Please visit this link.

    Any questions please feel free to contact me 0448 871 841. I'd be willing to help with transport logistics.

    Regards,

    Han

  • Oh yeah that sounds good. I'll try the bypass.
  • Nice work, I read that's a big job.
    You description sounds like where the clicking noise was coming from before fail.
    Any suggestions, If I wanted a replacement relay where I could go?
  • I have a 1979 Volvo 244. Started to leak engine oil and transmission oil from the rear main seal and also the torque converter seal. Anyone know where I can buy replacement seals? Also anyone know where I can find a disassembly diagram?

    The oil is leaking onto the exhaust pipe. Its a bit embarrassing driving a smoke stack around!

    Cheers,
    Han



  • Its got a sticker on it saying serviced by an old a/c company. It’s got a York compressor that looks newer perhaps, dunno if that is original or retrofit?
    The car was sitting for a year and I just had to buy a new belt and regas it to get the ac going.
    Only 75000km on the clock.




  • 1979, aircon has a graduating knob.
    and fan has 3 settings.

  • So I regased my aircon and it was cold 8’c at the vents! Then a couple weeks later I started getting a clicking noise from the center front console / dash. Now it’s just blowing hot air.

    Sounded like a relay switch to me?
    Any help out there?
