Still alive and kicking! And yes, as soon as I have a new pair of tyres on the front Volans, the Titans at the front will be coming off...!

This is bound to mean mine will never work again, but in the R my aircopn continues to work just fine. I have had the local mobile aircon service people come out twice. Once to fix the aircon...

New alternator now supplied by Gav (Merc85) and needing fitting - really helpful and good value too. The battery had a dead cell, incredibly I still had the receipt for it (three and a half years...

Duane, we have known for a very long time that you, me, and most of the rest of us on here are pretty sad ;P

Nothing goes until about 4.25 ... Clarkson as ever...himself. Still, he did buy one so I can forgive him that.

An amusing advert...

There is a really good free tutorial on the PTGUI website. It works best of you have the camera vertical, and on a tripod, and set the thing to manual so that the exposure is consistent.

A few...

Well, the stitching was easy, just Microsoft ICE which is a free prog - all you do is selct the images for stitching and it does the rest. The colour manipulation, and some distortion removal was...

The day before I drove through the height limit...ooooops.

I should sit down before seeing the quote on that one!

Knotty one that. I suppose it depends who is doing it. Nothing offends like a few chunks of impeller down your pistons.
A good refurb could be better than a bad aftermarket turbo.

I have an 18T...

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!! Mollusc Motorsport Edition!

Ben, WHAT are you trying to tell us??? :troutslap

Take a look at Matthews Volvo site - sure you will find the answer.

Running a forum (as my best mate Mark did with another) is a SIGNIFICANT pressure and often rather trying. All in all, VPCUK remains as the friendly forum - which is a testament to Justin and the...

Red 100,000, 3 previous owners, manual, cream leather, blah, blah, blah...

Another in my occasional series on what I have seen in Lidl! This month, a pair of 850/V70 wiper blades £5. No aerofoil but about £10 cheaper than a Halfords or Bosch set. Look OK quality.

Watch your speedo because it may over-read by about 10% or more if you put 50s on the front - both my T5 (205/50/16) and R (205/45/17 changed to 215/40/17) have always overread which is good for the...

Probably needs a good, hard polish...

All I can see on my iPhone is a small pink thing - was it cold when you snapped it ;)

Pity they never did them in this colour...

The 850 is simply better...

I should contact Rufe at FRF Volvo Swansea...no messing around there!

It does look a tempting prospect - but sometimes lower mileage cars can be as problematic through under use, as a high miler. I wonder how the transfer box is doing for starters? That said, if we...

So is it like this?
