Fantastic. Mine are in desperate need.

fat intercooler
AEM Meth injection, hilarious fun
Correctly installed (by TW) Gripper! (Funny how all of us with them put it top of the list)
In no particular order:

So clean and tidy!
If she was mine I'd get some caravan wheel chocks to save the tyres and a nice breathable fitted cover.
I use a 'stormforce' car cover for my 855. Quite expensive but fits very well and made to last. Lots of people sell the same product so worth shopping around. Here's one:

T5's run bloody hot. Drove mine for the first time for weeks the other day, went up the road and back again just gently breaking in some brake discs. The engine bay was roasting when I got back.

Those discs do look nice.
I've never got on with any EBC pads on my Volvos. Greens came with 850 AP kits originally, fine on a light weight Saxo but not good on a battleship. I found reds no...
My D5 but you get the idea.

Keep with the standard air filter and change it more often. My ITG panel filter is sat cleaned on the shelf ready to go but I feel no increase in power using it. (MTE V70 D5)
his thread has taken me back in time, I thought for a minute the old crowd had returned.
Much easier to get a dark dash top from someone breaking a car if an older 850 or P1. If P2 then stick...
The adaptor comes in the box, plug'n'play. Yes you keep the standard oil pressure sensor and therefore the dash display.
Stack oil pressure gauge in bar. Comes with everything needed to install. A few people run a dual electronic pressure and temperature gauge which are quite smart but seem to remember they can be a...
The roads of Calcutta are better than affluent Bath!
Having just returned from the Nurburgring it was amazing how good the German roads are. The tarmac seems to be of a finer grade (not as...
This list is offensive to my OCD. Surely the lowest mileage R should be at the top of the list; topest being bestest? :ready2go:
I buy Bosch parts from http://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ try and pay with PayPal as their credit card process is weird I guess due to being victims of online fraud.

Nice one!
The circular indentation below the label has a circular knob with bolt that screws down into a captive nut on a metal bracket. Stops it rattling.
To be honest I should have got a new car years ago. One of the main factors in keeping my V70 D5 is the Volvo Premium sound system with sub in the boot. Nothing comes close to it that I've heard.
He's a fair trek from Cornwall but I'm sure Tim Williams in Leicestershire could do this for you.
He might have 2nd hand DMF's and clutches available.
It will have a DMF but once off it can be...
+1 but maybe not as I want mine done in that colour!

OK, don't get me wrong I can see the advantages in wanting to protect your investment but you have to admit that is a serious wedge of cash plus fitment! My concern would be which parts are actually...

It will split. As expected there is a metal piece in the dipped beam casing, this sort of shape _/
Can't find any instructions so unsure how to connect up the halos??
The normal bulbs have plug...

Got black bi-zenons on my V70 D5, much nicer than the silver versions on a dark coloured car. As seen in my picture below.
E5 unless the previous owner has butchered it using the wrong size socket.
