No worries, cash waiting if you can get it. fairly simple to remove with a basic tool set.

Thanks

I could do with the fog lights from the front of the car and the wing mirror covers. Have been looking for the lights on line. My model didn't come with any

Hi Joe, i'm after the top alternator mount, the one that the alternator pivot bolt goes through, on the side of the block towards the top.

Provided the engines not a diesel, air con or turbo, it should be the correct one. I know its a bit much to ask, but if you could grab a pic of it either on or off the engine i can most likely deduce whether its the one I need or not.

Let me know if you can do anything.

Many thanks

Jon

PS this was meant to be a PM, however I'm new to the forum so it wont let me.

Hello,

I'd certainly give you £2 for that drivers side mirror cover. Do you have a paypal account - let me know what the postage would be and your account and i'll send you the money.

Could you tell me if the dash clocks have the red speedo needle going into or ocross the centre pivot please.

Not got a picture to show what I mean, but if it's a cable driven speedo ( red needle goes into the centre pivot not across it) I'd be interested in those :D

Thanks

Also if ya get a list of stuff together that your selling from the engine I could help ya get it out for you, if it means gettin a discount :P

Perfect, how much would you like?

FWIW, and to make postage easier, I only need the speedo, but will happily take the full set of clocks as you have to get them out if you don't mind putting them in a box!

Why not just get a new one? or better still two-then theyll last longer because theyre not mismatched. Ive used this place in the past: http://www.cargasstruts.co.uk/car_boot_bonnet_gas_struts.php/cPath/1/products_id/573?osCsid=b2b1ecad05c6c03f15c8add383c53680
Theres also partsforvolvosonline, halfords etc etc...
