Wishbones can produce a nasty clang when the bushes go, even if there's plenty of rubber visible. Get a lever behind it when you're under there checking the droplinks and strut tops, to see how much...

second that pete, shortly followed by the anti-roll bar drop links probably one or other, will be investigating similar noises on mine over the festive period.
Don't know much about Volvos yet, but if it's FWD have you considered CV joint?
This would show as a fairly quick, repeated, metallic knock on full lock. If the knockin is from left when wheel...
Hey bud hows things ide be looking at the rubber top mount first
Could just be that someone's done a crap job of painting them before and it's not stuck properly..
I have a spare top mount with the cruciform bush in it. I will double check tomorrow that it hasnt done a runner.
I have a spare one that you can have for very little.
I know it sounds cheap Lee, but I'd be very wary....better stick with the known & proven Volvo re-maps.
I should've taken my own advice when I had my S60 remapped :(
Aldi had some small battery chargers that are really good. £18 and they work well charged a deep charge battery in no time, with a metre so you can see it charging.
Got some new wheels on it :D

Came back to UK recently to get everything sorted out on The Olive Shed...the smoking issue- valve stem seals, dodgy clutch and gearbox, front bumper (take note Pedro lol) and a few other bits and...
the problem with the rivets is its tricky not snapping the drill bit when you need to take it off again without taking the wheel off,god bless ring spanner ratchets :)
Agreed - dead easy to get at the stealer or via rufe. I got quite a few cos I forgot where I put the first lot and bought some more when fitting the R bumper. If you get stuck, PM me and I will dig...
Last time I bought them they were 1.50 each. Just use normal ally rivets. Paint the heads Black.
the corners of the bumper (the top unpainted section) secures to the edge of the wing as well as the front so it won't sag or fall off. It does collect the mud behind there well without them so have...
If they're the ones holding the bumper to the arch liners I used spire nuts (or speed nuts as some people call them) clipped to the bumper holes then hid the heads of the self tappers inside those...
Easy takes about an hour just remember to draw a line where ur old one was regards les
Just need to take the indicator out, two bolts in there if I remember
hi cameron from what i remember
its easier with wheel off
undo wheel liner on bumper and take mud guard off
undo 3 or 4 bolts on wing in engine bay
undo a bolt in door shut near wing mirror...
Honestly you would not believe how good it feels to get a spanner in hand after spending four months hitting Landrover starter motors with 4lb sledge hammers! So much so today I went to collect my...
i can spot evidence of yellow paint on the throttle cover ! 'cameron springs to mind' :)
Thought I would post up a few pictures of the 3.0S V6 Capri me and a good friend have been restoring over the past two years. Its now pretty much complete and just awaiting a few little parts for the...
Paint is £30 a litre (as I just found out today, it's gone up). You'd probably need a couple of litres to do that lot, plus 2 litres of clear and hardner. So probably nearly £100 just for the paint,...

allows you to either program the ECU yourself or get any tuner to map it. Heard its cheaper than a custom map as well LINK
