Hi mate, not many 200 series guys on this forum. Possibly best looking on volvoforums that have a specific 200 series section?

To answer your question, not heard or seen one tbh. would it need to...

We (the mrs!) have a 2006 185 D5. On a decent motorway run at 70-80mph the computer shows 52-53mpg. Around town high 40's.

I wouldnt worry too much about the DPF unless you do a lot of short...

Just to let you all know she is now finished and on the road!!! A couple of small jobs to do, but nothing major!

It's set at just under 1bar of boost at the mo, its got a slight misfire at full...

So tonight involved swapping my classic swede shocks n springs from my glt to the SE, oh amd the wheels! So now she looks like this! Only the exhaust and a few niggles under the bonnet to do!! :)

Hi guys! It's been a few months since I last updated this thread. Truth be told there hasn't been a lot happening since my last update. I have been buying and collecting parts together ready for the...

I thought about converting to round headlights, its much more involved than one first realizes! A grill, headlights and bonnet is required, note the flat front bonnet on that early yellow 240, mine...

Hello all!

I thought I'd start a write up on the project that is about to start. MadMatt will be doing like 90% of the work, so technically it will be his project with my car(s)!! lol

Ah i was thinking into a 240, not much different i suppose? But like you say, same ish power from a turbo redblock with a lot less cost involved. only a lack of thumping v8 noise :(

Do tell... Straight swap?

the 2.4td clutch kit is an easy upgrade for the lpt setup. Thats what ill be using in my 240 conversion

While the weather was nice, I took her for a drive up the mountains and managed to take a few photos, enjoy :)

Decided to give the car a quick wash yesterday as the sun came out!

This is how she sits now thanks to ClassicSwede's uprated shocks and lowering springs. She handles much better now compared to...

Quality aint cheap! A mate bought some cheap spacers, after 6 months he noticed vibrations, took the wheel off to inspect and found a huge crack running theough the spacer! Would dread to think if it...

had this issue on my p1 before. turned out to be a MAF issue

Mine does that, saves fuel i guess??? I very rarely stick into "manual" mode, just keep it in auto 99% of the time as the "manual" mode changes way to slow on up & down shifts for my liking....

Looking very shiny! :D I wish i had the patience to do this sort of cleaning/detailing to my car! A quick wash and wax is all she gets Im afraid :s

Well im glad to say i took the challenge and have successfully done the 4 springs!

Front was easy-peasy! the rears as everyone said were a little tricky! but i prevailed with the use of a bottle...

My V70 is in the middle of having a respray as we speak. It'll cost me £450, but he's a mate of a mate plus we did a deal on some windows & doors... so in a way its cost me nout. But other quotes ive...

I had this problem on my me7 v70 t5 last year! really annoying, especially in a multy-storey car park! lol

i think what cured the problem was a new MAF and something to do with the throtle...
