[t5 stealth]

[p fandango]

Someones making it up as they go along.....muppets

[Porcine_Aviator]

Didn't you know that the fifth cylinder disconnects from the crank as soon as the revs drop below 4000 and the injector stops working, and the cam disengages, this does cut down on engine wear in town driving.

To add to the it's a real stealth T5 coz the turbo is hidden under the carpet in the passenger compartment.

If you look carefully you can see that there's an engine under the bonnet that seems to be missing things, a prize for the person who can name what they are.

Spoolin dont seem lik sufin wot they dooz fur a livin do it?

[t5lover]

no wonder i get turbo lag oh well best get a real 2.0 i mean a 2.5 no i mean t5???? and its got new back breaks lol,,,,

[JelT5]

Wish mine was in "metailic gray" and had this fuel saving feature ;)

*rushes off to ebay to buy it*

[thebadger]

If you buy it now you get a free unicorn/pegasus & a griffin thrown in to make it ACTUALLY FLY!

£500 ovno!

SHED, run away, it's full of griffin poop!

[Porcine_Aviator]

I don't think you are taking this at all seriously.

This is the result of the fifth cylinder cutting in at 4000 rpm.

Please note this was before the unicorn, Pegasus and griffin modifications.

This was the Grim Reaper drive.

[Filterlab]

It'l be that extra cylinder joining in. lol simples

[Rhys]

He wants to put a 20v rocker cover on before he sells it - that would add a few hp and you won't have to put petrol in it then.. Muppet..

Always wanted an assortment of mythical creatures so that sounds like a great deal lol

Free hens' teeth and rocking horse ££££ thrown is as well no doubt ;)

I hear that he'll even get it resprayed with tartan paint and he'll knock out the dents with a glass hammer.

I believe that the white spattering all around the engine was from the griffin.

Either that or the gremlin that puts the turbo action into it... once cylinder 5 has kicked in yo!

[AlanG]

Would that be the V8,six cylinder,inline 5 model??:cuckoo:

[Porcine_Aviator]

That one was five anywhere you want them drive. It was a five in line but then the fifth cylinder kicked in at 4000 and the extra boost rearranged them.

[volvoturboman]

Hey don't laugh.You's may all be very surprised but she is correct, the fifth cylinder does only come in after 4000 revs. The same way as the Turbo and the supercharger start spooling in my V70 10 valve non turbo at only 2rpm or by flicking the little switch just above the flux capacitor that says in your dreams sunshine!!!!!

O' yeah and it has plenty of power as it has 5 cylinders, cause those 4 cylinder 850's were crap?????????????????

[Porcine_Aviator]

:insane: you're both :insane:

[Rhys]

Didn't they come with a cylinder upgrade kit to turn it into a six pot. Or was this the rare American Hemi version?

[cookie]

put 2 bikes in the back, and it will genuinly be a 20v

(10 in the engine, 1 on fuel rail, 5 on tyres inc spare, and 2 each per bike wheel :D)

I had a 2.0 20v and it was a nice economical cruiser, if a tad gutless at accelerating, the 2.0 10v is IMHO a horrible totally gutless engine

[Jamest5r]

Oh come on lads give her a bit of credit at least she managed to put the right fuel in!!! lol :bricks:

[850 2.5 10v]

I think my question / statement to her should clear things up for potential buyers.

Dear god and they want £800 for it....

[nobananas]

That will be why the descriptions changed now ! I notice that your question hasn't been posted in the listing !

[Porcine_Aviator]

Is that your question that's first in the list at the bottom. She reckons it's what the insurance company told her, Doh I mean all you have to do is look it up on the web and it comes up as

P187FUD - GREY VOLVO 850 10V ESTATE 2.0 GLT 5dr (1994 - 1997 Model) Manual 1984cc

It says clear as night in a snow storm at the bottom of a mine in Mongolia that the fifth cylinder cuts in at 4000 revs, I can hear the Mongolian Insurance Salesman telling her now.

Oh yes Madam these are very special cars they are designed to travel at 250 kalikans, oops sorry that was the Klingon Insurance Salesman.

Damn I'm spending to much time on here, the lunacy is catching.
