Normally, whenever I ask for a quote, it's around £40-£50 per wheel. But since I've bought the S80, i've had 5 quotes from seperate companies for my 18'' split rim alloy wheels to be refurbished....
Hey Neil - I had a very similar prob and it got worse and worse until the ABS Light and Traction control started coming on all the time. Turned out it was something called the "Reluctor Ring". It's...
And just incase you've got problems trying to locate any of the above parts, here's where they live on the D5 (163Bhp) with the plastic engine cover and the black "L" shaped pipe removed for clarity....
What? Wobbly Dave or his car? :D Ha ha ha ha ha.
Seriously though, I had a Rica 310Bhp on my 1998 C70 T5 GT and it was amazing for 2 years until I crashed it one night. The car had around 132,000...
Hi Folks
As most of you know, I bought a Volvo S80 D5 (163bhp Euro 3) on a 2003 plate (face lifted model) about 3 weeks ago and it thankfully has a full AA warranty. Since buying it 3 weeks ago,...

I also had a similar experience. Turned out it was the fuel filter under the car - a stone had managed to pierce it and if I left the car parked up for more than 2 hours, I would have to turn the key...
Hey Bud
Well at least you know where to concentrate on. There's nothing more frustrating that not knowing what's causing the problem and having to end up replacing sensor after sensor and parting...
Hey Folks
Last year I posted this thread up when I noticed some strange idling on my Volvo C70 (2.5 ME7 with manual box) - http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=21018
A full year has...
Yup -that's it... Basically a 3 minute job :D
Angel Eyes look awesome on the Volvos... Very nice ;)
Nope - you don't need a blanking plate.
No probs Mark.
You're car will already have a Dump Valve fitted (It's a standard one and it dumps imternally instead of externally and with the accompanied loud "Ptsssh" like the above ones).

Oh - overall diameter of the steering wheel is 37.5cm or 14 & 3/4 inches.
:D
Hey FatLadZ
I assume you're talking about the actual hand grip circumference and not the overall diameter of the entire wheel?
Ok, I've just measured the proper T5 GT leather one fitted to my...
Here's how to do it on a 850 - http://www.woodjoiner.com/volvo/VolvoEvapReplace.pdf

Ah... 32... So it'll be the blue hoses you'll be needing then :D
I've been running Red Stuff ceramic pads on the front on my Rica'd C70 for a year now and I've never had one squeal from them - the dust content is much lower than the standard pads that were on the...
Please note folks -
If you have the cash and don't mind sending your unit away to Wobbly to be repaired, I'd def recommend his service - the man does great work and a warranty is a bonus. If like...
