You probably know already, but a certain project is moving to a new stable, I just have to clear a space and ready the tow car.......updates will follow and they will be on here first before any...

Ooooh, tantalising bit of info there, care to elaborate? :D

Hopefully re-constructing the xc90 this week for mot, long time off the road and hopefully the re-placement engine is not a dog, will be good to have a tow car again, then may be another 850 could...

That and fuel costs not helping...

yep still here, wrecking yet more engines and other volvo parts! :uglyhamme

We're still here though :D

I haven't updated my project thread fore a while, though life has got in the way!

like many bill boards - a lot has turned to social media groups instead.

I'm not going to name anyone, but some good volvo guys have fallen foul with those individual gaskets, that's why many like the later v50 t5 item, (IIRC) which from what I can remember just needs the...

Well got a bit of time to take these, don't know how people can get them on wrong, but they have in the past, may be it's just because they are going by feel down the back of the head. Here's a...

The correct way up to seal ...lol.... not much help I know, but I could tomorrow take a couple of shots to show the difference, as I will be in the shed tomorrow and have an engine a some old gaskets...

If it's been blowing a while then, I would look at replacing the gasket/gaskets (depending on whether you have the one piece item or the individual ones). Hopefully as Lee suggested they have just...

What makes you think the studs broken?

They nearly always work loose, especially on cylinder 1 and 2.

Just carefully tighten them back up, but do not overtighten or you'll strip the thread in...

You'd need to check the serial numbers to see if they match..Wobby Dave used to fix abs modules and kept a few on the shelf I believe, I don't know if he still does, but it may be worth a PM to him...

Hi I am breaking a V70 xc 1999 would that be the same one let me know from Leicester

Hi Find some one near you with Volvo Vida or a icarsoft 906 reader ,
What was the problem with the ECU,

if the bar can rotate, then it can also move from side to side (which would be a big no no) so unless the arb has some positive way of stopping side to side movement then then the bar should not be...

But as the car rides the bumps in a straight line and the dampers compress the bar will rotate, so some lube must be require to stop unwanted wear of these items....also the lube I had with my...

Washing-up liquid dries after a while, helping to grab the bar.

Oooh....now that's a can of worms really....personally I'd copper ease these, as the bar needs to move, as it's effect is in it's twisting action and the transfer of load from one side to the other...

Ref LED conversions, you really need to do a lot of research in to them. I've just been through that.....uncertainty.... myself (swapping Halogen H7s to H7 LEDs for the dipped beam in reflector...

Well, I'm going to open a tin of worms and say no (ish). Assuming the bolts appear to be in reasonable condition upon removal. The reason for replacing them is that they are stretch bolts. You do...

The Comets on my Silver Metallic V70R are currently black and look great imo. But, I'm on the look out for a spare set in Anthracite, as I reckon they just have the edge. So if it were me -...
