Sorry looking at pic wrong way. Dave is right. Downpipe is shot. I also had issues lower down on my downpipe and cat which caused my engine management light to come on
I ended up getting a complete new exhaust fitted as the rest of it was knackered.

Do you mean you can hear the motor running or trying to run? There's a subtle difference so may not be easy to distinguish between the two.

You can get a new flanged end for the down pipe, cost about £10. Cut the old one off weld in the new one. Its a good permanent repair as long as you get the right size, the most difficult bit to get is the clamp.

Well. Plain speaking. SWMBO would say very clearly. The car you have received is significantly worse then described.
Above all please make very sure how bad it is before spendng money on it. Was it a trade sale or was it [purporting to be] a private sale? Both trade and private sales have legally enforceable warranties, they are just different warranties. Or you could shoulder the costs &c. that the seller is pleased to have rid themself of. Ain't that the truth.... What is the distance? How much was a bus/coach fare to go and look at the car? This is not Job's comforter. This is, wake up and deeply inhale the coffee. Get the best outcome you can now. . . Last edited by Stephen Edwin; Feb 18th, 2019 at 12:16. |

Then you need to remove the door card and see what's happening.
As mentioned above, the advert was indeed misleading, especially the "hole in the pipe" photo originally sent. I seem to recall it was also described as driving fine with no other known faults or similar so you may have a case for redress against the vendor.

No, the indicator/side lights assemblies are all different as I discovered, there's the original deep type and then there's later facelift and the twin head light type - these are not the same so you do need to check the part number.

They certainly are - i discovered this with my 740s/760, some of the parts are shared with the 940 but then a whole new can of worms opened up because the 940 has so many different possibilities.

It'll pay for a few bits, any help you need identify things, try to take pictures of the item then a couple more shots zooming out so to speak so we can see where the item actually lives - Volvo are notorious for changing the shape, size and sometimes even the colour of various bits that all do the same job! Top tip for pics - use your phone/camera in "Landscape" mode, that way we get to see a bigger picture and not just a thin strip down the middle of the screen, some phones change automatically if you turn it on its side rather than holding it vertically, others you have to tell them by changing the mode to either Landscape or Auto. Same goes for videos, then it's also easier for you to hold one end of the phone in each hand to keep it steadier as you're shooting the video.
