hi derek yes its the official volvo paint 305 touch up kit + plus I have a couple of intercoolers and some tubing left aside for you.

dont know what happened to it have emailed around but no one has got back to me so they may have just called it a day.

the spam was reaching epic levels and getting into the porn stuff as well .

sean your email addy was rejected.

register on the 480 club europe website and I can contact you easily. here is a copy of the message I tried to send to you..
try the 480 club europe forum as the VOC forum is mainly 440/460 owners. I moderate the 480 forum as "glasgowjim" LOL .

The cable is not likely to cause a squeak. If the clucth starts to squeal and the bite point is very low or high you can adjust it easily with a couple of spanners. If the squeak is coming from the pedal area and not the engine then spray wd40 on the pivot point , oh and before you do that check the celtic cross shaped connector linking the cable to the pedal has been fully tightened up (its awkward but easy job). You can absolutely eliminate the cable from any squeak by lossening the end at the engine (noting the number of turns) and holding it up high puor oil / wd40 or anything else you like down the cable. TBH if it was the cable it would squeak everytime you pressed the pedal down.
Hope this helps. I seldom come onto this site so register on the 480 one if you want quicker responses.

regards jim
