Sounds like you do need a new maf, they should be changed at 100k anyway. You've possibly got an air leak somewhere so would investigate that, also I'd thoroughly clean the tb and replace gasket and...

For the misfire it's likely to be plugs and or dizzy and rotor arm, these are service items, plugs are 15k -20k miles I believe.
I order all my parts for FRF Volvo Swansea on C3 account (forum discount). You just need to provide reg number, thats all they need, 302 setups use same pads as 280s. Changing the PCV is one of the...

Looks like a fun project!
Regarding oil and filter, i use a genuine filter plus washer and 10/40 Magnatec. Capacity is 5.3l.
Thats very impressive! Ours will do a good 35mpg gentle motorway driving or 28mpg 100mph+ motorway driving.
Really like your car! Always look forward to updates. Its so refreshing to see an 850 T5 being thoroughly maintained and kept mostly standard. Are you attending the Cosford meet Kmb?
Change the cap and arm as you said and would also change the plugs, all for genuine parts, patent stuff is ££££.
If it moves freely by hand you know its ok, should have a smooth feel.

Here's the one I was referring to.
It's not uncommon in the ford world for people to weld Sierra and Escort floorplans and bulkheads to FWD cars. If you had the skill set I'm sure it could be done with a Volvo.
Someone done it to a 854R. Not sure where the thread is but think its on T5D5.
I bought that kit when i first purchased my T5 thinking it would make an improvement over the tired shocks, sadly I was very disappointed and ended up buying a different kit a month later.
The PCV has been renewed. I changed it 3 years ago when i got the car, but lately i haven't been satisfied with the condition of it so decided to replace it to be sure everything is ok and free from...
No messing about here, your really making progress. Great stuff!
I do still have them and the front units are currently on the car whilst my other units are being serviced. They are however kept as spares.
I may of had to higher expectations of the kit but I...
I bought that kit years ago and was very unimpressed, removed it after a month.
I'd go with option 4 personally, if that fixes the problem. Its not that i'd be trying to cut corners or save money, i would just spend that left over money on something else (servicing related).
I got some from Volvo couple of years ago. Also replaced the bolts attaching them to the car as they had to be cut off due to being so rusty.
This!
You'll have a far, far superior car if you concentrate on handling upgrades first. 850's drive really well with the right mods and fresh bushes and joints etc.
PCV kits cost £100 and that's genuine, plus £10 worth of silicone hose for the boost pipes and job done. Why bodge it would you can do the job properly and know it will actually work afterwards.
