850r maintenance questions
Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following. Looking to do a couple of things on my car and would like some real time advice pls :
1. My odometer has recently stopped working ( speedo is fine ). I have seen a kit on ebay that has a couple of replacement cogs, but not sure if this is what I need .. I would also rather buy genuine Volvo bits is its possible and not certain these are. Has anyone attempted this job ? Can you give me an idea of how long it'd take a garage to do so I can get an idea of labour cost ?
2. I have a bulb out on my instrument binnacle. Whilst the cluster is out, I may as well get some new bulbs. Does it make sense to replace all of them, or just leave the rest well alone ! Do Volvo do replacement set of bulbs ?
I don't want to do either of the above myself ..
3. I have some 302mm discs and new carriers, and I right in saying that I don't need new (longer) brake lines ? Either way, are they a decent upgrade or am I getting into potential trouble by freeing up old and probably corroded connections ?
Is there a pad of choice to use with this set up ? I had in mind the Ferodo DS but I think it might be overkill as I don't drive the car hard. Are 'police spec' pads still available ?
4. Any idea of how much a garage would charge to fit a PCV kit ?
5. If I revert back to a standard airbox set-up, am I likely to face any issues removing the cone filter (BMC I think) ? Just don't want warning lights coming up on the dash come MOT time !
Many thanks for any help
