**all changed 17/03/11** Evening! It's all change at Ben towers and there's one loser in the whole situation.. My Volvo 240, the coolest car I've ever owned and poured all of my money in to has to leave me soon. When it's MOTd, I intend on swapping it for a Perodua Nippa (God, I think I would actually consider that swap. I must be losing it) Wangled a way to keep it, but I do need to sell some stuff ;D Banded steels sold. Early 244/245 round headlamp sold. Mk2 Astra/Day-Woo! Lanos strut inserts. Brand new in tatty boxes. Made by KYB, their part number 665036 Great for buying and then never using for shortening the strut housings of your Volvo 240 £20 for the pair. Single 5.5x14 et20 Volvo steel with good 185/70/14. I think its a Michelin. £10 And a single Volvo alloy from what (I think) a Volvo 240 Torslanda. Little bit of kerbing, feckloads of brakedust and the most inappropriate brand new tyre evAr. It's got a brand new budget 185/14 commercial tyre on it. Somebody with a van that uses that size tyre would find it most useful at a tenner. They could then weigh the wheel in or whatever. Brand new genuine Volvo cam belt, pair of alternator belts and PAS pump belt. This lot came to about £30 from Volvo. I figured I may as well use genuine belts because I know the quality is good and I was being a bit of a tart and wanted them to say 'Volvo' rather than Halfords. All to suit Volvo redblocks, obviously £15 posted Under dash spindle mount radio cage thingy in plastic. This was with my Dyane. I assume it's not actually Citroen though. Much more pleasant and inkeeping than wedging a modern Kenwood or something into your retro. £8 posted Stuff can be posted at cost though my favourite courier is the RR Pony Express. Anyone who calls 'dibs' on anything will immediately be moved to the back of their respective queue. Reply here or PM please. cheers Ben

Did I just read all that right? Volvo going??
I need to get some sleep, I'll check this thread again tomorrow, confident that I was right all along and it was just a bad dream. I've decided that Cava does bad things to your mind and I am never drinking it again if it's making me think that Ben would sell his Volvo (or change his name back to Ben7194673929456748839300458567784949030495857)
Ben, I'll be calling you tomorrow to tell you about this random dream I had that you were thinking of selling the Volvo.
I know, it's ridiculous isn't it!!!

I tried calling you today on unrelated matters, Bruce, but your phone must have been dead what with it having been made by Apple ;D Cava does do bad things. It's the bubbles

Nice banded steels mate...have you had tyres on them though as the well section looks too far inboard for tyres to fit

I bought them with tyres fitted but had them removed to refurb and sell on the tyres becaause they weren't a size I'd use. The tyre place I use only commented on coolness rather than difficulty so I assume they aren't too problematic.
They have been on a car too, though I don't remember who's there's a pic floating about somewhere...

quick tech bump here - karlos - do you know if the m90 gearbox is fitted to diesel 960's, or is it just the petrol ones??
maybe I should buy ben's volvo wheels, then it'd be an excuse to buy a volvo to fit them!

Hi Ben,
Do you still have your banded steels up for sale? My 740 is crying out for a set!
Would you be willing to post them?

I'll be seeing ben this weekend, and I'll be passing chester on the way home, so if you can pop over sunday night and snag the wheels, there's a free ride home for them if that helps ben make a sale or if you can't make sunday night, they can wait in my barn at abergele for you to pick up HTH - kev

Kev, if that is ok by Ben that would be amazing! The collector for my Merc is coming this weekend so that will free up the money for the wheels without the Mrs knowing I may have to collect the following weekend at the latest though, is that ok by you both? Can bring cash or do a Paypal transaction if all is ok?! Chris
