Hi my brother has an xc70 2008 d5 on 110,000 and it goes very well. It's good on fuel around 43 mpg and in the winter it proved itself. He fishes a lot and it gets him across fields no problem. He...

The 163bhp D5 doesn't have a DPF filter for sure, I can't be certain about the later 06 model? If it has, I'd avoid.



What's wrong with that? If the mileage is lowish then that's a lot of car...

Hi guys

Just to let you know the site will be down from 23:59 (GMT) on Friday 8th January for up to 4 hours.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this but the maintenance really is required to...

Gay gold. ;)

the later crystal headlights may be an improvement

Right, I've finally got around to taking some photos of both cars running the HID lights together, and then some of each car separately showing the difference between the two kits.

The S60 is...

I never said anything about 4300k being blue, nor 5000k's. The 6000k does have a blue halo but only really noticeable from a distance. 8000k is definitely blue!



Respect son, respect!...

FYI Nick, 4300k bulbs are what's fitted stock on a stock V70R/S60R. I have 5000k bulbs, which give a pure white light with no blue halo. It's a good 'go between'.

Also, make sure you get the newer...

Got my replacement hid bulbs from hids4u a few weeks ago as original bulbs were 9 years old when one went

i've just got a bargain of a set off ebay, uk stock so only took 3 days delivery & only cost £13. They only seem to do 55w kits which i wouldn't recommend for dipped beam

If you're using reflector lamp units, get bulbs ending with 'R' (e.g H7R) as they're fitted with anti-glare strips and cut out the 'glare' usually seen from standard HID bulbs around the bottom of...

I sourced mine from 'HID's 4U' a couple of years ago and haven't had any problems, though eBay is cheaper with a few members having bought them on there with no problems either.

Be careful, isn't the compression higher on the 2.5t? I'd check out any major differences such as turbos carefully incase of denotation or such like and engine destruction, try the map meant for the...

best get mine on there a bit shapish then!! lol

must be worth more than that??
plate is worth that on its own!?

Unfortunately, they're just not fetching much money at the moment mate, so about £500. :(

Mine rattled, I opened it, and found a metal plate that was bonded to the rear had come off, I just removed it, and it has been fine since.

hi mate it all depends what the ultimate plan is for the car, Mark changed his turbo, blue injectors and exhaust with a Rica map and got 272bhp.

Mine which is quite a bit more modified with hybrid...

hlm are prob the best bet

£300 hlm map job done much quicker car

I'd be very surprised if you get those kind of figures mate.

There's other maps available for around 300 quid, maybe less.
