That would explain the lack of replies to previous PMs I've sent in response to other threads!

That's a nice looking motor you have there :-)

You say you're looking for something a bit smaller, well would you consider a P/X for my 1995 Peugeot 306 Diesel? It's the complete antithesis of Tucker (low trim level, compact and slow but VERY economical). It's never let me down in the 8 years I've had it. It's done 98k (mainly motorway miles, the engines are good for 250k in these) and is in pretty good overall condition for its age.

If the Peugeot's not your thing, I've also got a kit-car you might be interested in - it's a Quantum 2+2 - a 2 seater fibre-glass rag-top based on a Mk2 Fiesta XR2. It weighs nothing and goes like stink! I think it's got to be worth over £1k, so a swap could be negotiated.

If that doesn't float your boat either, then I may still be interested in buying Tucker off you...

Cheers!

Well guys, thanks for the interest. Sorry about the lack of communication, Ive has a b@$*%&d of a week at work... Thanks heavens for a long weekend!

He'll be available for viewing after this weekend as we're out for a trip out to North Yorkshire for the weekend. I will post up a few more pictures of him in action.

Ive been asked about the corners of the car, as it is inevitable that in his illustrious career he's had his knees grazed. These have all been touched up in the body colour and are only really noticeable close up.

Also, the sticker on the engine indicates that the cam belt was changed at 70,000 miles, but will have a check through the history and post up further information when I get a chance.

Regarding part ex's - Although I would prefer a cash sale, but am looking for something small, fast and comfortable - if such cars exist!

Hi,

I'll be in Leeds on or around the 12th June, so perhaps I could arrange a viewing if it's not sold by then?

Cheers,

Good day Volvonians,

Bit of an update….

The emissions light on the dash is lit up, so to know it isn’t going to screw over any prospective buyers in the near future, I took it to the local Volvo specialist for a fault check.

Whereas no faults came up, he did detect a slight misfire – something I had not noticed. We’re thinking that a new set of plugs and leads should sort things, but to be sure I have booked it in on Tuesday for him to give Tucker the once over…

Also, like a doughnut I have misplaced my insurance envelope. Not a problem I know, but it had the effin V5 document in it. Ive sent off for another one today.

Gordon from the 1800 section has dibs. I'm just waiting on the results of Tuesday to get a clear picture on where we stand. Ill update this after then.

Have a nice weekend folks.

Tom

Riiiiiiiiiiight, The guy who is looking at it never mentioned the leads. I was assuming that the leads were like HT leads as I've never had a car with Coil Packs... the 960 having 2 coil packs - one for the odd cylinders and one for the evensies.

Just so you know

Hi Tom, One coil pack per cylinder, six of the expensive little swines, they are under the black cover between the cams. Two is the number I have left from a set of six I bought from a V90 that had been rear ended in 2007. Most times only one packs up so I never needed to change the lot. Multi sparke plugs is the way to go Bosch super 4s.Best wishes, Alan. VOC 22929
