The "Sport" on the V5 would refer to the trim level. You could have Sport trim with or without the Sport chassis I believe.
Much better without the towbar on! :)
Hello there - pleased to see all the attention the car is getting - going to be a credit to you, Harvey!
That wiring is a mess in the boot, I know of one repair to the loom but not two. And I...
Nice to hear of the plans ahead, and glad she is in such good hands!
Mine has taken a bashing (rock fell off a truck a few months back and hit it) - so if it was easily swapped, I would! But for now... straighten it, paint matt black, and you can't see it again :)
How can it be a fuelling issue if it's fine in semi-auto mode? Unless either the rate of acceleration, and/or the boost / ignition / fuelling, is different. Now, I don't know enough about the...
Aren't intercoolers more typically the culprit than turbos on these?
EDIT D'oh, just seen you've swapped that already :)
Known trait of the Phase 2 (V70/S60) Rs. Google "Volvo v70R side hop".
My only thought here - I fitted a pattern wheel bearing once and it lasted 10k. I'd only fit gen Volvo again - just to avoid the expense of doing the job twice! Pattern parts work for some stuff...
Brembos all round as standard on the R? Satnav as standard on the R? Cold-air cone air filter as standard on the R? Spaceball gearshift as standard (for manuals) on the R? HID projectors as...

Air quality sensor (for climate control) is Main Stealer only?
Yep - another month, another few hundred quid to spend on the R. They're not cheap to run, these things!
24 seems pretty typical for a manual R - mine is about the same.
Looking very nice! Keep up the good work!
Genuine - can be had for a good price these days too.
That is annoying as...
Sorry to hear it. Good luck with the rebuild.
My view, FWIW - it will suck on the track compared to something you could buy for half the money. Sell it and buy a track car.

Not a lot between the s60 and v70 s of same age that i have driven.

This is the badge you want on the back...
That's the way a garage would test it. Indeed when my fuel pump was failing on my T5, that's how they DID test it.
Maybe worth 30 mins diagnosis at your local indy if they have the kit?
They always rub.
There's even an MOT notice on it. See Issue 35, last page:
