In most cases your 16 year old water pump will have more life left in it than the new ones you're looking at. If you really want a cheap water pump I can give you some, I have on les where the...

Well done, colour looks OK in the picture.

A few torx screws at the front of the wheel arch, then 2 14mm bolts from underneath. The bolts will be tight all the way down the thread, and are pretty long, so take your time, and work the bolts in...

Yep, same reservoir, a worthy piece of maintenance that fluid change - Makes a huge difference to brake feel if the existing fluid is in bad shape...

I take it you've overhauled the brakes then? By overhauled, I mean, Check their integrity and roadworthiness, especially as you're going to be making the car faster!

At the very least you should...

I think the short version is: contact FRF :) see post #274

There are 2 earths on the head - one by the end by the cam sprockets and one that connects about mid-point on the top engine mount.

Check the wiring harness for the coil packs, with age, and much heat the insulation gets brittle, and can fail, leading to it shorting out on the head. BTW 0.26 sounds far too small a gap, stick with...

It's the safer option. (take it from someone who's been there lol)

97cm is the measurement

Thanks very much - I am really looking forward to driving it again now!



That's interesting to know - thanks. I do have a known good one on it's way to me now so will fit it anyway for piece of...

The seals should be the same for inlet/exhaust cam at the gearbox end. They're a different size at the timing belt end.

from what I read recently, there is a smaller manual gearbox that appears to have been fitted to a T6 lump to allow it to fit in some small spaces (s80 iirc), Ettienne has one of these boxes but I...

Nope not a standard dash/glove box trim. Looks like an aftermarket stick on part.

The 850's basically came with either wood effect trim or plain black/grey.

tracs is traction control, some cars had it & some didn't

you will most likely have a tracs switch on the dashboard if you have it, other places to look if it has ever been fitted is on the brake...

its an evap valve & they can cause intermittent starting issues....

I just ditch mine completely!

Hello Sparky, if that photo is from the right hand side of the engine near battery then yes the fragile joined pipe leads to the boost gauge - I can verify this as my gauge started reading zero on a...

Yes buddy you may be able to using a led torch or similar

With the wrong flywheel fitted you will find the colder the weather gets the harder it will become to start, this is due to the signal wire voltage, as this gets less with the colder weather. (not...

I made that mistake,
OBD1 850's have a different flywheel to OBD2

I believe OBD 1s have Holes recesed/drilled into the flywheel
Obd2 have Raised squared lugs on the flywheel.

To Try this out...

I read somewhere on here that fuse removal disables the alarm (and central locking), but not sure if that has anything to do with immobiliser.

Think it was fuse 6 from some cloudy memory whilst...

You may be surprised.

I think what it does is break the misread link between the key and the immobiliser as the key is removed from out of the antennas range and it is then reread as the key is...

Take the key out turn it over and then try. Repeat a few times if necessary. We had two ring antennas fail on our V70. The symptoms were simular to what you are describing.

A handy link for testing the other bits if needed

ah ok, i think you can rule this relay out then? as if the icv is buzzing its getting its signal from the ecu and the relay is doing its job, can you have someone hold the icv while you crank on put...
