#1 Hello from new member and a note.

Post by pbraith » Sat Jan 05, 2013 9:11 am

Hi all, to be honest I joined this site primarily with the intension of picking the collective brain.
I have a series 1, 4.2, 2+2 auto and was struggling with having to remove repair and replace the starter motor, however after an epic struggle Ive just managed to get it back in and test it and all is now well.
If anyone has to face this and thinks I may be able to offer my experience as a guide please feel free to ask.
I guess its now on to the next bit of fun.
Has anyone here fitted the Volvo calippers and can offer advice Im all ears.

Phil

Welcome Phil and well done with the starter motor! If you have a look in the knowledge base, I'm sure there is an article on there by Dave Kerr.

I'll just sit back and view the banter then.

Hi Phil,

You must excuse the banter - some of the guys here have known each other over the forum for a very long time!

A search on the Jag Lovers Forum revealed this with regard to Volvo brakes:

Hope this helps.

Simon,
Many thanks for the link, useful and with alternatives.
On the banter front it put a grin on my face with the Allo Allo touch.

Regards

Phil
