Just out of interest , what steering fluid are you using , there was a change from atf type fluid to CHF111 at one point and using the wrong fluid causes problems with the rack seals.
Shagged wheel bearings usually change note as you swing the car from left to right , slalom style, there is a driveshaft bearing on the right hand side drivshaft which can sound a bit lik a gubbed...
Is your wife in the passenger seat , I get this problem every time Mrs Whale is in the car and I boot it off the lights .
T5 number one is on 216 k , still drives like a new car . And goes like a shell , I cross everything I have that it won't explode lol.
Watch out for the monkeys there Greg , the little feckers love wipers.
How did those rozzers ever catch up with you Colin . Sneaky beggars must have crept up while you were having a snooze.
I would deffo start the search for a donor car , that is too perfect to scrap .
We all have to play to our strengths . No one can say you don't put in the effort. Bravo!
That's only because denial in your case would be futile , it's nothing to be proud of . Lol.
I dropped my v70 T5 p2 by 40mm it doesn't look massively different but it does feel a lot better on corners . Less body roll . Mind you on the old set up it felt like it was about to scrape the door...

If the noise goes away on bends it's probably shagged. Also if it heats up more than the other side on a long run .
If I...
They sound lurvly , a really flat burble .
Don't forget to shake it all about too Kieran , it ain't the hokey cokey otherwise.
The roads in and around London, were like a billiard table by comparison with the roads around here, I was driving there quite recently. The main routes in and out of Glasgow are like a third world...
They do fail , and when it goes you lose almost all your oil very quickly indeed. A mate had one go last year he smelt it and about ten seconds later it had dropped all its oil, the road looked like...
You don't want your arse in the air when plod turns up with his big dug.
2001 p2 v70 doesn't have the key flap which is a bit dumb .
Pull fuse no 38. Or set the alarm using the ferry mode, it disables the interior sensors and the motion sensor. On a V70 its the little alarm button above the pen holder, on a C70 you hold the...
Amalthea if I am not mistaken I have three sets of them one with winters on , they ain't worth much so it doesn't matter if the salt and crap ruins them.
One of mine is on 210k and is like brand new , no bearing play and no smoke when you boot it.
Have I just jinxed it ?
See that's why Perspex is much better than glass , you can just drill a hole and get a fixing wherever you want.
Looking good Colin I can't wait to see this thing being used in anger . It's scary...
Don't relax it too much mate, messy!
Eat lots of beans and fart through a tuba Kieran,
