Volvo 740 2. 3 GLE Estate 1990 - 7 Seater
This is my 1990 H Reg Volvo 740 GLE with the 2. 3 B230F engine which I purchased at the start of 2021 as a non-runner. The aim was to get the car started, MOT'd and used as a daily driver. Unfortunately while the car is fully MOT'd, due to WFH full-time, and the use of a Mini its often spent weeks not being used. Therefore it seems right that it should go to someone who is going to use it more frequently.
Specification:
Volvo 740 GLE Estate
93k miles
B230F Engine
Automatic Transmission
Full Black Leather interior
Electric windows
Aftermarket CD player
Tilt & Slide Sunroof
15" Alloy Wheels
7 Seat Option - 2 seats in the boot which can be folded away when not used.
MOT till June 2022.
As the car was a non-runner I have completed several upgrades over the past few months to get it running and improve the car:
Full Service (Oil + Filter, Air Filter, Spark Plugs)
Replacement Airbox Hose
Replacement PCV Box
New Water pump
Coolant Flush
New Fuel Filter
Replacement Heater Control Value
New Bourcord Spark Plug Leads
Rebuilt front calipers
Small welding on inner front wing due to rust hole.
Replacement Rear light clusters
Replacement front indicator clusters
Cleaned front seatbelts
Previous owner had the gearbox flushed, coolant change, new tyres, timing belt replaced.
Overall the car is very solid, with no rust underneath the car at all. There are a couple of small spots of surface rust where the paint has been stone chipped. The car has been used as a family workhorse, but plenty of life still left in her.
The main issues are:
Headliner does sag in places
Rear passenger electric window sticks
Front seat stitching has come apart and needs to be redone
Speedo has recently stopped working. I have checked the cogs in the mechanism but they are fine. Could be transistors need to be replaced.
Slight rip in the rear carpet on the transmission tunnel
Bumpers have been sprayed with a plastidip type material which is starting to flake slightly.
Good solid honest car. I you have any questions about the car, or require more photos please let me know and I can send across.
Thanks
