I've since discovered its not the manifold leaking but some where else around the back of the head (it's hard to see). I think...

    Volvo L70 engine fan needed

    Hi all My L70 loader has been making a strange noise for a few days. I thought it was a misfire as it didn't seem to be running correctly. Turned more into a vibration yesterday and then heard a bang followed by a water leak. The water pump bearing failed so the fan wasn't spinning...

    Volvo LM846 Tilt Ram Seals (1978)

    I'm currently in the process of replacing the seals on the tilt ram. We have owned this machine since new, some 35 years ago, and I know it's never had them done before. After hunting high and low for over a week, the new ones should be with me shortly. The guy at Volvo parts UK sent me a...

    Volvo L70 loader transmission fault

    Hi I've got an L70 (around 1990) I think. She's a great loader. I've also got a Volvo LM846 (had her since new in 1978). I've also just sold a Volvo 622. Granted the machines are old, but I'm Volvo all the way. Very rarely I have problems with them. I've had the L70 for about 3 years now...
