Volvo 340 1.7 in the UK
Does anyone happen to know:
A - The total volume of water in the cooling system.
B - the percentage of antifreeze needed to fully protect the coolant from

My 2002 V40 has a small bulge in the outer wall of a rear tyre -
probably from hitting a kerb. (The alloy wheel is scuffed - can this be
polished out?). I presume it is not safe and must be replaced.  My front
tyres (now done 20,000 miles) are close to the end of their life.  Can ...

Hi all. No, not quite the full breakage, but I have a serious problem
regarding cambelts.
I have a 1997 Volvo V70 2.5 TDI, onto which I have just had new cambelts
fitted (240,000 miles) along with new tensioner and idler pulleys. The car

I get the "clunk" not loud but definitely heard over the radio when I am in
the last stages of breaking in a straight line (stop sign) or making a hard
left turn from a standing stop. Not regular but often enough to be
noticeable. No wheel noise during other turns or ...

Can anyone help me out here - I'm after the wiring (colors) of the standard
factory fit radio in an 1996 850. I've trawled the web, but with no joy.
Looks to me like hte L/H block is speakers, but there are alot of wires to
the R/H block (more than just power!) - any help ...

I have a 1997 960 Wagon w/ a leaky sunroof.  It actually appears that
the glass hatch leaks where it is attached to its frame.  I've had the
drains blown out, track and seal lubed, etc, but it still leaks thru
the glass.  Any suggestions welcome- it's driving me crazy!

My 2001 S80 HU-611 radio has worked perfectly on AM and FM and cassette
tapes and with its built-in CD player as well as the trunk mounted 10-disc
stacker since I bought it October of 2001.
Now, within the past 5 days it has begun to make a lot of noise on AM only.

any ideas what the cost of a 1989 440 nearside rear light cluster would be -
stuck a long piece of wood thro the stop light cover --- as usual we found
and superglued all the bits - except one which went AWOL.
I presume that it'll fail the MOT in Dec now.

My '01 s60's brake pedal is behaving strangely. The car is new to
me so I'm not sure if this is normal.
At first it emitted a high-pitched whistle, an ethereal sound
that was hard to trace back to its source. That seems to have

Is it?
The look the same and Mazda and Ford do some label swapping - MX6 and
Ford Probe.
I was told both use a Ford Focus chasis?  Is this true as well?

This is probably a silly question but I'll ask it anyway, as I've been
surprised by answers before.
The rear wiper of my 240 wagon has a bare spot -- probably the size of the
average fingerprint, if I'm remembering correctly -- on it where the paint is

My '96 850 GLT will start and run for about 10 to 20 seconds, then
stumble and die. I wait a few seconds, restart it and the same thing
happens. This just started yesterday, with no forewarning symptoms.
Any ideas?

is it wise to put another window on it?

Due to the imminent purchase of a new (to me) V70, I have some parts to
sell, which I purchased but were never fitted.
This includes a Power steering rack, which was purchased from someone who
was breaking their car up after major engine failure, much as I will be in

I'd like to know if the 1981 244 GL external parts and 1976 244 GL external
parts are interchangeable.
I'd like to replace cracked rear light plastic covers to start with, and if
the parts are interchangeable I might get an engineless 1976 244 GL, which I
