Just bought myself another olive, 850 AWD this time, meant to be mint with a van load of history, not even seen it and have hand over the reddies as it has a fully multipoint lpg conversion, got to be a winner just in need of a rear diff for it, pic's in a week or so when she's home

Good luck with it mate, are you after a bit more traction on the strip?

No, I think the cams are in there correct position, but I think I know what you mean....lol...did you have a good trip to the south west and back ??

yep, just need to find out the final drive ratio of the rear diff and locate a suitable replacement and bring on some cheap motoring....yer

[Dangerous Dave]

The rear diff ratio should be 1:3.31

You might find the power delivery disappointing in the higher revs as the ecu backs the turbo off after 5100rpm but the faster spoolup is nice around town.

Yes thanks Ade, blew a coil pack on the way but fixed it at the services. Pitty you couldn't have come along.

currently don't have a working classic volvo, but things should change by the end of the week, done only 30miles in the T-5R in the last month and a half, how bad is that, got to pull my finger out before the lack of performance causes depression...

[MoleT-5R]

It's here folks, its got a little messy standing, but a powerwash today and some megs love and this little gem could be the best motor I've bought (other than the T-5R) photo's to follow when she's had a scrub

You never know what could happen mate


Ahh, the best colour and old school AWD :D

Use the LPG on a cruise, petrol for playing. Thought it was best not to use LPG for performance applications anyway?
