I've taken most of the list out to explain, leaving item #83, CO Emissions, Stromberg Carburettor Rebuild as the example. According to this list, that is post #3773 on the thread https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=303259
Find post #3773 and hey presto, the Stromberg rebuild is there! https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...postcount=3773 The post # is top right of each individual post in case you don't know. Hope that explains it all!

Alan's thread on the Royal Barge and, later, the Barge, is informative, well written, often humorous, always well illustrated. If I had a 240, I would see it as a valuable resource on just about anything to do with the car. Rather than requiring us to scroll through numerous pages / posts to locate the information that we require, Alan has thoughtfully provided (and regularly updates) this index.
If, say, you wanted information on fitting rear wheel arch liners, (item #43), you would immediately know that you would find it in post #2516 through #2519. It really is that easy! Regards, John. Edit:. Written before I had seen 'L.S.'s brilliantly simple explanation above. J.

Thank you for your kind words John. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about being too lazy to start another thread when I swapped between the RB and the Barge - but there again it was an almost seamless change and the subject matter is very similar.

So I've started to go through it, great resource. However I may be a little thick, but can you search the thread via the post number?? Or do you have to randomly select a page and go from there?
