b20f crank position sensor wanted
hi all,
as above- looking for a 2.0 crank position sensor. In the process of aquiring a spares car which was driven to where it sits but the sensor is missing. Im wanting one in the hope i can move the car under its own steam and obviously can't use the one from my own car!!
Many thanks,
Nick

Re: My Volvo 480 Turbo
slightly off topic- davey when i was down south i tried steve's new wheels for his polo on my car- they fit but would need spigot rings on the hubs. whereas the cetus (is that right?!) wheels from my car have centrebores too small to fit on the polo even though they have the same 4x100 stud pattern....

Re: Agreed Value Insurance
As what glasgow jim has said- its all very well if you don't use the car often. In a bid to keep insurance costs down (im 20y/o AND have 3 points) i went for 5000 a year on my 480 before i got it. That was in august, and ive used it all up, at a rate of roughly 1000 per month! so i've now upped it t...
