On the V70R/S60R engine, they have cylinder liners and there is a design flaw in that when the white block engine was bored out, in the factory, from 81mm to the 83mm required for 2521cc, this made...

It's done using VIDA.

You also need to ensure you will be happy with the jap spec or whether you will want to convert it back to UK spec. In that I mean the simple stuff like speedo in Miles rather than Km, all DIM info...

Low mileage is one thing but if the car has not been properly maintained then it won't make any difference.
Also depends on how it's been driven. The splines normally wear because of being driven...

I had my first 850 t5 in 2002 and can honestly say it was the first car I owned that would do over 130 mph. It was an amazing car and compared to anything else on handling standard equipment...

The only way I'd have an 850 is if I was to put the V70 interior into it and quite possibly change the front end to a V70, and while Im there the door handles, side strips and rear bumper. I'll stick...

Think that hits the nail straight in Colin, your spot on there, our T5-R is raw compared to the softened world of our V70R Awd, the 850 handles better ( far more positive than the V70 ), but that...

850`s r good but more road noise,p1 70`s r less noise and a bit heavier,p2`s are more comfortable,heavier but I`d love a 2.4t5 all day long,expensive on parts tho.They all good,just depends on what u...

I think it's because the 850 parts are cheaper and the cars are easier to work on. But this is just a guess, 850 owners may come with a totally different reason and personally I'd have a V70R P2 or...

good luck with this!!

Lee;A few good posts there following on from the original poster whom i believe you have met and compared motors. I think you are both NUTS .:smile:

Did you need to change all those components...

his is in the for ale section £1895

There are no differences between 03 and 04 cars. None of the 'facelift' changes happened until 54 plate cars started rolling off the line. Haldex II was fitted to all production 03 and 04/54 cars....

I too had trouble free motoring with my classic R for 4 years and if you asked me do i regret getting rid, the answer would be yes. However, if you asked me if i regret getting my latest R then the...

I own an s60r so I think I can comment on this.Just try to buy one that has had some of the `biggie` repairs done.Angle gear,clutch,fuel pumps or shocks.mine has been pretty bullet-proof for the past...

If it's been treated to 4 tyres at a time and regular rotation, it sounds like you'll have one of the few good ones :)

If there's a variation in axle rotation speed front to back, the viscous...

welcome back

Welcome back.

I would imagine the Phase 2 has the same system on principal to the phase 1. However as the phase two is a much newer and updated car it wouldnt supprise me if there were many...

Hey Mike for your info the C70 is now on the road has been since the start of the month, so i'm finnaly enjoying driving it :)

Sorry mate but your head is so far up your own bottom with that comment. Anyone could go out and buy a second hand R like yours but most of us wouldn't because they are so unreliable.
Volvokid has...

I think your comments are quite funny considering you spent money fitting parts that the c70 never came out with and were not even on any parts list.
Why would you fit R wheels etc to a c70 for...

It's only a Volvo car at the end of the day not a bloody Bugatti , stop worrying about getting it dirty or getting the odd stone chip, just drive it.I can't get my head round the fact you spent...
