Hi and welcome!!
1) There is a guide on here. Just use the search function to find it. 2) There may have been an amplifier fitted with an after-market headunit. When the previous owner refitted the Volvo stereo, they didnt reconnect the front speakers (these are the ones most commonly "amped"). Just pull out the Volvo unit and check wiring/connections. |

3) here's a smoked version of the marker lamp
http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=3999 You probably find most of what you're after from the above company. You also find a chap on here caller Rufe (Simon) and he's a main dealer who does mail order. I'm sure he'll do a good price on those linkage bushes for you

i did use the search facility, thats how i found the symptoms i had. i did see the guards on ebay, they are the mesh ones though, are they as good? the plugs are in the back of the volvo stereo, nothing looks like its ever been touched!
just remembered the bloody remote key fob doesnt work either, i changed gthe batterys and still nothing! i think the bushes are only £5.70 ish anyway arent they?? didnt realise the marker lenses would be nearly £50!!!!!! do they not sell them in packs of 4 anywhere else? did a quick search on google and couldnt find anything there???? |
