I'm trying to link to a picture on my Flickr account for my Avatar. I keep getting a message saying that the URL is invalid.

If it's Offside or Driver's side to most people then it will be the Differential Oil seal. Simply job to do but you need either a special tool or a piece or tube the correct diameter of the seal and record the depth of the old one so you can fit the new one to the right depth. You'll have the remove...

Thanks for the replies. Yes I don't have front fogs, and after buying a new bulb for one of the rears, discovered that only one is wired up. :tomato: For now the electrical problems can wait and I will post in another section for them. The Problem is the Head gasket has started to go. I noticed the ...

Hi all. Recently brought Vera 1993(L) 1.7 N/A She seems to be leaking Oil from the Head Gasket on the corner of the engine. (Pulley end, facing forwards) I got the 3rd revised Haynes manual and it states that the Head bolts are not part of Volvo replacement procedure when changing a head gasket. But...

Hi, unfortunatly for budget reasons I haven't made any progress towards my dream of a 480 rally car. However speaking to a friend, because the 480 was never homologated for motorsport, I can put any engine in as well as make any modifications I like as long as it meets with the class regulations. So...

Well after some research I have found that the B20F engine is the renault F3R, whether Volvo modified this engine I don't know. Would a F7P or F7R cylinder head swap be possible. If so I may be able to argue the case for an engine swap as the cheaper alternative. The Bore and Stroke of the F3R and t...

The link doesn't work properly. But thanks all the same. I know that Volvo modified the block for the turbo. But for the N/A's I don't know, all I do know is that the original Volvo 1.7 was a Renault F2 1.8 engine, the changes they made to get a 1.7 I am not sure of. All I'm looking for is the engin...

well it seems to me that N/A is the way to go as a turbo would be in the up to 2500cc class because of the forced induction coefficient of 1.7, therefore being up against very tough competition. Whereas N/A would put the car in the up to 2000cc class, giving it a fighting chance.

For hillclimbs and sprints I believe that you can put any engine into the car you want as well as make any modifications to it and the car. I aint 100% sure through. but for rallying you can make an engine change as long as the engine block from the original car and the other engine are interchagabl...

Appologies if this has been covered else were but I am gathering info for a future project. I am looking at Rallying a 480 and I want to ideal put a Clio Williams engine in. But in order for me to do so teh standard Volvo engine block must be the same as the Renault one. So basically I would like to...
