These are 1590kg according to autodata. Clearly needs that derv lump.

The D24T that they put in sadly is a sack of wank - shame as it's a big old 6 pot...
Just stick in a redblock turbo - big blower, loads of people know about the heads on them, they're bombproof engines... 1990 on B230FT out of a 940 2.3t, hooting blower... Problem solved.
16-12-2013, 11:49 AM
those redblock turbos are immense...
I miss my old town with the most amazing engine builder, he could get them redblocks to stupid bhp/torque figures and still be reliable. tank+boost+rwd...winning! Wishes for more power...

People are still using them today in drag racing.

It pops and bangs Would love to drop a derv lump in this right now. Daily Slag: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-3849.html

Is it a Torslanda? If so it'll be poverty spec, it's designed as a vehicle to withstand -40 temperatures, so it doesn't have electric windows and the like because the motors seize when it's that cold.
17-12-2013, 08:18 AM
Yeah it is.
Pretty dann useful this morning then. Having trouble de-icing it though! It's not poverty spec It's got heated seats. Daily Slag: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-3849.html

Doesn't it have a diff lock as well? You should LPG it, these single carb Volvo engines take well to it and a single carb kit is like £600 fitted.

Mmmm, rear wheel old school cool... *Dribbles*

The diffs in those tend to be a lsd. Best way to find out....... Car park hooning or just some wet grass. Put one wheel on the grass and see how much it spins.
would love one tbh
when in doubt...... flat out.

If it's anything like my dads old one it should give 30mpg on a run, but high teens in town. The 2.1 and 2.3 are actually better on juice. However, stick LPG on it and that's 35mpg round town and going on 60mpg on a run... I'm proper keen on the idea, spoke to the guy who does the conversion at Leeds LPG and he's given me a list of barges that take really well to it. For a cheap reliable setup you want old, which suits me! Looking for a nice W124...

Ok, got something to aim for now.
It seems to be doing alright, but do not know if I can trust the gauge. Hopefully it won't dip all of a sudden! Totally did not have to google W124 to see what you're on about They look fookin sweet man, can't wait for the 306 shows next year. I reckon we should make a full on assault for the front row Daily Slag: http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-3849.html
