must admit i read the title wrong, i thought it said "volvrat down the pond". I was expecting to see just the roof rack breaking the surface of a lake because of the latest issues lol

Glad that you beat that golf, so much noise then got beat by a ratted out volvo lol. Considering he left you off the lights, it shows how much real power he had i.e not much.

LOL... with an 80mph terminal he isn't gonna get an easy race on a drag strip - he'd struggle to maintain his dignity against my girlfriends 1.0 Aygo never mind a T5.

Cheers gilmore. Dead now though :( Head gasket has gone, engine got well and truly cooked to the point where the valve cover / top half of head has welded itself to the head and the HT leads are melted to the spark plugs :(

I had bought a new head on eBay but thinking that there's probably far too much damage done to the engine to bother trying that :(

Try Salvo/Nads/Readview for an engine, i picked one up for £250 from salvo its the cheapest and easiest route to get the rat back mate.

Sorry to hear that mate, just spotted post in 'Wanted' and first i realised it was dead. Hope you get it back on the road soon mate, the spirit of the rat will be missed :(

The rat will live on in some Volvo form.


My dad's gonna go to a car auction for me on Monday as there's a 940 turbo wagon there, so may have to cope with a 940 instead of an 850 but as long as it's a Volvo estate with a turbo then it's all good.



If I get a RWD wagon though, be prepared for some high power figures ;)
