Hi all! well finally got my V70 P2 now, and she is running beautifully, but i have noticed somethin under the bonnet that baffles me! There is what seems to be a strut brace, but it definatley isnt an aftermarket style one, its black, and seems to be joined to the upper engine mount somehow?!
Bearing in mind this car is ex-plod, i was wondering whether this car had them as standard or is it police issue?
Cheers in advance, Don

ps, Its bloody good to be back here, and I got that volvo 'buzz' again!

Hi Don

A remember this gettin tlked about in a thread not so long ago, what a remember is that is the top mount and not a strut brace, All S60/V70 in P2 form have them that I've seen even the R

Good to have ye back mate ;)
