Holy thread revival!!

Took a quick look at it today, looking excellent so far - bonnet alignment is a weenie bit out, but that can be resolved. Picking it up later in the week - having a couple of other little jobs...

Getting a Passat estate! Not bad I suspect.
I'm well chuffed with that VOC thread - I would never have seen it becuase I just don't understand the geography of the VOC site (or T5D5 for that...

The grill had suffered from what looks like no primer & a bad case of layered flaking of the paint.

I looked out the piccy from the meet last month.... I have attempted to blow it up...

No, shouldn't be the spring still works like it should it's just a little shorter now.

Just changed the 17" Amaltheas for 17" Comets.
The change in appeqarance is amazing. The new wheels have been completely refurbished and are in the original Anthracite colour...
Chuffed to bits.

Try Cambridge a bit further down the A3 at Petersfield - the best independant around here by far.

Thanks Chaps. Coming up to five years ownership and it makes a great companion to the volvo. They couldn't be more different. yet both are excellent at some things and trully shocking at others. :D

Well since there aren't just Volvo's in this section, here are the results of a couple of days work a few months ago. Given the weather we've had it hasn't really been out since.

Having had a problem with my CD Player in my HU850 and having searched the various problems with this unit it would appear that this unit has many problems causing owners a lot of expense in repairs....

Assuming we are still talking about the later EuIV engine, even in original 163bhp as stock, tuned to the Rica indicated 253bhp and 548Nm -

Erm, does that not answer itself? That's some...

My thoughts exactly. The 06' D5 I had for a period was a very nice place to be and was a pleasure to cover considerable distance in, hence I'm swaying towards one over a similary spec'd and priced A4...

Had some good news today by emails the Dealer up north is sending chq to my dealer local who will order new head unit for the T5. I understand the cost is about £600. So no cost to me. Bit of a...

get prices of rufe for part, and ask garage cost for software upload, and just fit the bit yourself, and get car recovered to dealer, from 1/2 a mile from home when you have some free time (RAC...

Rich got his done cheaper because they didn't put the radiator back properly. I think the chap doing it stopped after 1 hr instead of 1.8 hrs.

Well the car is down 40mm & the drive has a steep bump into the gutter on my road.

I Just don't fancy paying £30 a set to then grind £5 off each one by tarmacadam!

I think if your mud flaps hit the deck you have a big problem, if I interperate your comment correctly.

Picked mine up today from My Local Volvo dealer. Rear and Doors. The rear load area ones come in a nice bag. fitted two side panels, need a bit of fitting, doing the rear when it stops raining. The...

It's snowing outside, so not tonight. :(

I'll sort a piccy out soon, but they are just basic LED strip lights (now about £7 for two on fleabay) I have 4 of them in a line (with gaps) stuck to the...

Just spoke to my local Volvo dealer got a Volvo set on order 3 No side and rear. Cost £35.00 inc vat. I don't believe it £35.00 quid from a Volvo dealer. Makes a change to get something cheap. LOL

Here are a few of mine with the Volvo blinds fitted;

+1 for the blinds here too. Went down very well in 40+ degree heat in France last summer.

I didn't buy from Volvo, but got mine from a supplier who specialises in blinds for lots of different...

Those blinds are the dogs!!!!! Where can I get sets ? I assume my local Volvo Dealer. The cost for a full tint down hear is about 230 notes. What is the cost of a full set of blinds. Must admit I...

Indeed Richie,

Ok, just washed the car, so I took some pics of the blinds inside & out!

Here you go!
