Well, I've finally started this project. Matilda (1992 240SE estate) is in the newly extended man-cave ready to have her heart transplant.
I've got a B5234T3 to go in her and have provisionally...

Phew !!! it's not the angle gear....well that's the verdict from Volvo, codes all read and reset and the bill sir.........F.O.C. .....what nice people and excellent service, I will probably see them...
So just a quick ownership update for anyone who's interested in this model.
I've had my 2009 S80 D5 lux auto for 9 months now. I absolutely love it especially how infrequent visits to the petrol...
Two levers and a pedal!
Don't think even the 6spd auto could handle the sixteen litre diesel
MTE's Swedish written software that I offer gives enhanced outputs of 225bhp with 480nm of torque for either engine.
Don.
The Swedish written MTE software that I have been selling for many years now will give outputs of 225bhp with 480nm of torque for £395 including VAT.
You do not need to travel as you undertake the...
185 to 205 bhp and 295 to 332 lb/ft with Polestar. Aftermarket you should see more torque but little extra bhp. Just be careful on what the auto box can take on the max input torque. Aftermarket may...
It's the map. 2.4D is the 163 bhp. The D5 is the 185.
Both Polestar to 205.
OK here is a photo of the tyre pressure plate from a Phase 3 V70

As you can see there is an "ECO" pressure.
I thought I'd share with you what I have done to get a BMW Getrag gearbox to work with my 850 T5 engine. With the gearbox options for creating RWD Volvo T5s becoming harder to come by and more...
Can't believe it's been nearly 6 months. But still loving every minute of it, and without spending £50k on something, there's literally nothing I would replace it with.
Resisted the urge to...
Yep, should be able to achieve RR Griffon sound levels :)

I did and it made no difference, wasted £100+
Fabric conditioner coats the threads and effects absorbsham
I use a non-bio liquid, as this was advised for all the products I bought from Polished Bliss years ago. No fabric softener.
Surf liquid. 30 Deg wash and tumble dry.
Another tip is to remove any wash instructon labels as they can scratch your paintwork.
I would like to bring to members attention an S60R http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-S60-R-/262307290898?hash=item3d12bb9f12:g:qIgAAOSwe7BWz18a that is for sale with a split liner. The seller hasn't...
When the car was new, the tax rate wasn't that much higher than other cars

Haha, well the car Liam speaks of was my S70 T5... we were testing out his remap in mine!!! :B_steerin

You drain it, on the sump (same as my p2.5r) and inspect and it has a fill level on a tube, just like the way Edd China did on the boxster gearbox, only you fill the Volvo from the top.
It's...
Apparently Glen Wilding is a wizard at mapping D5s. :hidesbehi:
Personally, if I bought a car with the intention of hooning it around a track, I'd WANT to know what it's had done and who by.
Purely to make sure a wheel wasn't going to fall off, brakes suddenly...
