Trigger the 940lpt
Here are a few pics of Trigger.My new ( to me ) Volvo 940lpt
This is her at her previous owners getting transported from North Ayrshire up to Glasgow. She has approx 124500 miles on the clock and has been owned by two forum members for the last ten years and one of the forum members mother for seven years before that I'm getting the MOT sorted first and will then work my way through any other stuff that needs doing Watch this space !! PS The name Trigger was given to to the car by the previous owner so I thought it best to keep the name going20181104_103137.jpg 20181104_103304.jpg IMG_20181105_131409.jpg IMG_20181105_125636.jpg

Best colour (Regency Red Metallic - paint code 418 ).
Being an LPT - fit an MBC and boost gauge - up it to 11psi, lose those 15" Adharas, clear indicators all round and egg crate grill! Cheers

Triggers prognosis !
Trigger has had her MOT today and considering she's been stored for about 5 years ( i think ) Its not too bad at all
Front discs are shot ( I had already bought new ones with discount from ECP )and rear brakes are very sticky. I'm hoping once they get them apart they should free up. Will possibly need new rear pads and handbrake shoes. Also needs a new handbrake cable and that's it Garage said she is starting perfectly and running fine. They were pretty impressed to be honest! Hopefully she will be on the road by the weekend and i can then start all the little jobs that need doing. Oil and fluids all replaced, fresh coolant, new timing belt and a really good wash and polish Thanks to the two previous owners for looking after her so well

Hopefully I'll get her along to one of the meets in the near future. You might even see her out and about on the M80 as well

It's probably okay if there are no other symptoms. Emulsified oil can be a false positive, and in a worst case scenarrio, a head gasket isn't difficult on those engines anyway. The only tricky bit I found when I did my Wentworth was the bracket that holds the exhaust downpipe to the block. It's only 1 bolt, but it's hard to see.

Fingers crossed all ok. If not I'll book you in for a weeks holiday to Scotland and you can pop in a new head gasket then
