Hey Everyone

Well the site has been going for almost 20 years! (20 years this August).

But all things come to an end eventually and we have made the difficult decision to "call it a day"

Yes I agree but looked there and its 'spare' (empty slot)? Same in other fuse boxes.

You should be flushing the entire transmission every 5 years or 50,000 miles. I believe that volvo introduced this additional layer of servicing many years after production as “lifetime” fluid has...

How have you come to the conclusion that the whole gearbox needs replacing? Flush the transmission fluid using the Gibbons method. If you have any concerns that the transmission is getting gunked up...

YES she flew throught and the MOT guy said how much better she was now! Trouble is I have moved onto a farm now and shes struggling with the muddy lanes so I may have to get a 4x4 Volvo XC70 or XC90....

Afternoon peeps, hope everyone is well,

If you need any info on my old car "Blacky" just ask , good to see she is still around, i did see the ebay advert and contacted the seller to forward my...

Find a different MOT test centre. ;)

Great thread, just read all 97 pages lol, took me 3 days or so on and off :crazy:

Nice work!

So jealous of you guys that can fabricate things :B_thumb:

Nice job Dave, that downpipe looks awesome, not the easiest of jobs to do with the added issue of the angle gear being in the way.

I’ve just had 2 small leaks into my footwell in both V70 and XC70. Here’s some images of the stuff I came across.

Our new house has a steep drive and getting in and out of the garage is a PITA, especially with the low ground clearance on BR coilovers. I finally finished the necessary ramps needed to get Betsy...

not really, but I'm going to run out of time to finish and test it before August :uglyhamme

this engine was built using all sorts of bits and bobs, just to get some seat time, so its served its...

Well……….

Had a small leak from the remote reservoirs, so stripped it all down
and ended up replacing one of them, the bleed the whole system, in
preparation for the track day. But once at the...

That's great, hopefully this will iron out the issue. Good to she Betsy progressing again, I now have to pull my finger out and get on with my projects, the have been waiting way to long now for...

Wife overlocked a section of heat wrap to form a heat shield for the new AFR sensor loom. Fits nicely into the space. A bit of fettling to do (suspect that there is a small exhaust...

I recently had a failing injector. It felt like the engine was chugging a bit and felt like a misfire at times. The car didn’t throw any fault codes. So I researched the issue and someone suggested...

Quick update

Having finally tuned the car to a point where it cold starts reliably, and is reasonable on fuel, I parked it up. In the garage from January to today, and I drove an S60 instead. Now...

GLWTS, I'd be interested if my drive wasn't already full of Volvo's and still trying to make space for a very special one at present, when it arrives it will be posted up on here.

Picking Betsy up with new MOT and paint job from the body shop end of this week. Really looking forward to it. Once I've got her to Jedburgh - I can start trying to remediate the overboost and...

You should be easily able to get 300hp from you car (though it would be a lot easier with an earlier p80 car), the 3"dp and system should be first up, green injectors and 3"maf (if your car doesn't...

It’s interchangeable. I had a 1997 FWD P1 V70R which was hit in the side on a roundabout. I went to a generic Volvo breaker and picked up a new rear beam as mine was bent after the accident.
