Its a shame we're having to start bodging things for our old buses.
Good to her the old girl is going again....good job sir
Good luck with it all, look forward to hearing the progress.
As Dave says, daily duties doesn't do our lovely Volvo's much good, but at least we get to enjoy them everyday, rather than just now and again. It's worse when your trying to keep 4 going, I normally...
My wheel bearing was making a horrid noise which was getting worse. Turns out the nut I fitted when I changed the CV joint didn't have the locking tabs and the nut had come loose thus letting the...

You do have the...
What happens if you spin the wheel while it's in the air?
Any heavy rumbling and the bearing's knackered.
I've got one shagged on the TDi I think, but there's no play. Only hums/rumbles when...
