James,
Use this guy, I used him for my S60 clocks and the service was spot on, 3 days in total from me sending it to coming back.

Having had both cars (quite a few S60s) all D5's, Id say the S60 is the tighter car, and the V70 is very floaty. Both have superb seats, both are superb in quality whatever spec. Ones thing that...
I think your doin a great job James, its nice to see another car saved from the breakers. I've done the same with my V70, bought it off my mate as he was going to scrap it. Spent two grand on it so...
Well, the test come up trumps, replaced number 5 and no more slight misfire and 2mpg more so far :D
My car has a very slight misfire on startup and at 1500 revs when warm, the glow plugs have been tested and are ok, so I thought id check the injectors. Looking on Ebay, a leak off kit was about £20,...
I preferred it standard :D
I glued the seat in my Green S60, then when I went to get it repaired properly, the guy wasnt happy as he bent lots and lots of needle re-doing the seam :D He also said Super Glue will rot the...
That rear bumper...............NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and NO :D
AND, Ive been around off and on for ages mate, will try and meet a North West meet at some point (as long as you havent fitted that...
Cars looking lovely mate, but dont be putting that rear bumper on it and spoiling it :hidesbehi Its not a Focus RS now is it :D
My daughters Fiesta has a "shudder" when going around a left hand bend. I think its her CV joint, as the cover had come off and leaked grease all over the place. Its not knocking at the mo though!

Actually, it DOES sound like the resistor's gone, as it cant regulate the speed of the motor and doesn't want to switch off!
Try that first, same thing apply's when getting to it ;)
I had the same issue on my 2005 model, it turned out to be sticky VNT vains and the turbo was replaced ;)
Mine threw up "engine service required" when it went into limp mode
Good luck with the...
Me too :D Hope i have some "spare cash" available when it does ;)
Stunning stunning car
Blue or Green for me ;)
Get the car "all wheel tracked" Costs about £60 but worth it, especially on the 4WD i would of thought

I didnt get any noises BTW, just the odd BANG! If your leaving your car on a flat drive for more than a week, just leave it in gear with the handbrake off! I never use mine at Airports etc etc

You need to take the caliper carrier off as well :D only two more bolts though
Here's my old delaminated S60 shoes, pretty bad

Ohhhh come onnnnn! Its merely a flesh wound! :D
Seriously though, hope it gets better soon, looked awful on your post!
Amazeballs :) Lovely lovely wheels the Nebs, and they'd look lovely on my Green Machine, but i cant do 18's anymore, I like my fillings just where they are ;)
Nice looking V70 mate, great story, a bit more bling than i'd add though, but each to their own ;)
There was a 2.0, 2.4 and 2.3 T5 as far as I know
Lovely looking car, looks mint and they are getting quite rare now. Keep
it as standard as you can, it won't depreciate to much then.
Also, non...
I had to do this as the replacement unit i bought off Ebay wouldnt light up and the steering wheel buttons didnt work. Some of you may need to do this in the very near future :(

Yeah, I've heard good things about those, but for another £44, you could

It's all relevant though :D
I know i know, not the best make in the world, but im finding these tyres are good as the Falkens on my last S60.
