Also swapped the TB for one at work of the shelf that didnt have the plastic restrictor in it!, and i was amazed at how much better the car drives now :) quicker turbo spool up, better low speed drivability and overhaul more drivability :) happy chappy!

Nice, good to see Wooty is starting to sell stuff for the T5 again.

[T5frankie]

next bits on my shopping list, polished fuel rail, cover, header tank cover, battery cover and cambelt cover

[850T5 Jason]

im after the battery cover and expansion tank cover next :)

Then some nice silicone hoses to finish of the bay :)

Thanks

Jason

I emailed Wooty recently and mentioned that there where plenty of people asking after his polished bits and he's apparently going to start making some more.

[850T5 Jason]

im impressed with the quality!, everything is really really well made and free of any imperfections. And everything fits nice and neat :)

Only the timing cover.....that has to be sealed on with silicone (ive tried no:plate sticky but they just allow the cover to pop off a little).

thanks

Very nice pal looks cool . I like Shiney bits

[stevie69]

is it just me that thinks the shiny engine bits are naff??

[T5frankie]

i think a dirty engine looks crap

[Volvostorm]

I'm not a fan of bling, seen it over done to many times, I also not keen on a dirty engine! Guess that puts me in the middle! :D

[850T5 Jason]

good job its not your car then right?, i find saying nothing at all is less insulting but that's just me :( each to there own right.....

btw guys i looked into the old TB i fitted and it came from a 1995 auto T5, so another odd ball there :)

Ordering the battery cover and coolant cover some time this week to finish of the bay :)

Even though I'm not a fan, I do admire Wootys work on all the cars has has produced products for, and that much by quite a few now!

If your happy with it Jason, who cares what others think!

[stevie69]

sorry didnt mean to offend.just think standards best.

No worry's :) and in some ways i agree.....i love to see a stock A1 condition engine bay just as much as carbon fibre and shiny bits etc :)

thanks

where did you get all those parts??

I am on a similar goal for my engine and here is the current progress:

But I need a few more parts, such as the brake fluid reservoir cover, the power steering reservoir cover, and the timing belt cover. Where could I find these??

A former member called Wooty (Phil) advertises his wares on eBay.....he's got a nice cam cover on at the moment.

Shiny Bling Link (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-850-T-5R-T5-MIRROR-POLISHED-CAM-PULLEY-TRIM-COVER-/160590739477?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3D LVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D63441018202120925)

I had his full set and the quality was fantastic, the only one I bought and didn't fit was the brake reservoir cover. The brake res cap screwed down on top of the cover, but I felt the cap needed to be tighter to be airtight - the cover prevented this. Brake Fluid and air don't go well together!!
