Are you going to help us on interiors at some stage please? The Volvo still smells like a new car but I am nervous based on past experience of treating the leather with Autoglym stuff. Previous cars seem to lose that new smell when you treat the leather an d you end up with no smell or a different neutral smell.

Volvo V90 fortunately has a level gauge for adblue along with engine oil level. Does about 8k per 10L.

« on: 16 May 2020, 13:11:07 »finding a front wing that is cost effective is the problem - seems to be £500 worth which is prohibitive. I am finding some difficulty is managing the upload of images - the various click on buttons are not working?
they were about £100 assembled(all 3 parts were available separately) per side from Earlpart
Many thanks. Earlpart do not have an offside only. They will sell a pair of wings at £295 - have passed info onto owner.
Kevin - maybe transfer this thread to correct place please?

This is the 2 door version with cooper engine. Done 16000 miles.. Guy near me has it and needs a front wing. Remember the 1100 well.

Hedges do not need cutting Steve - this was just a lockdown project to get the ryobi working for when they do need cutting.

Just need to find a PacMan carburettor adjustment tool and hopefully that is the issue. Cheers.

A bit of a pain to start again today - so took plug out - 6 pulls without plug - plug back in and it starts. Problem now is tick over . It wants to stay on full choke and will not idle without or with only light pressure on throttle. Mixture is 50 to 1 - and is new fuel. I have ordered new plug just in case. Really only a lock down project as these days the cordless hedgecutters with 2 batteries will do the job and have gone to Worx for quite a few other items and very impressed. Will persevere with Ryobi for now and if no joy just get the body only cutter from Worx. Will also avoid the racket the Ryobi makes.
Thanks for input.

The 2 stroke hedge cutter has been a pain to start over the years. Got it going again today but there is clearly some knack to this but on line videos etc not a great help. After trying off and on during the day I just took the spark plug out and pulled the starter a few times, put plug back and it fired up. Filters clear and new fuel. Can anyone add any info as to why these seem to be such bad starters and any tips?
