Hey guy,
Some of you might recognise this, Shaun's old R.
Had it a few months now, love driving it!
Had a few little bit and bobs go, changes the P/S pump and recently got a ABS and TC light come on.
Also is there any way of changing the side the fog light comes on? I've checked the wiring diagrams and it's as if both should come on at the same time..?
Anyways here's some pics...

Plans are to drive it and enjoy it!
My rear fog lamp only comes on on one side too, so I guess thats the way its supposed to work. My old 850 was prewired for both sides, but there was no bulb holder for the 'other' side - IIRC I had to fit a bulb holder and plug the cable in and then both sides illuminated. No stupid canbus/ECU controlled lamps on these :) Perhaps the V70 is the same? In which case you could plug in the side you want and disconnect the other? Just thinking out loud...
Only plod cars have active rear fogs on both sides but it's supposed to be a relatively easy fix.
Who's Shaun?

Looks like it's being used properly.
Did you get a lap?
Thanks guys! Will have a better look but this also looks pre wired and already has bulbs on both sides.. I could always run the wire across but I wanted to see if there was a better way.
Yeah Shaun850
Yeah I got a lap on the ring but took it easy, didn't fancy binning it into a wall!
Here's another pic from a trip I took to Austria as well.

You can't swap the fog lights over legally, it's either just one on the off side or both, you can't just have one on the nearside.
Ah yes. That's that then.Quote:

I like that , really smart pictures
Sorry, I didn't explain why.. I'm registering it as a British car in Germany so it needs the fog on the passenger side.. Alternatively both sides then I won't need to think about it again.Quote:

So I’ve upgraded, and what an awesome car!
It’s given me a year of perfect driving.... until now...
Excess pressure in the coolant tank, with a little cream in the oil. Is this the start of disaster!?

Fitted a full turbo back exhaust custom made by Lead Foot Racing.

That looks very tidy, what does it sound like?
That sounds very Head Gasketty unfortunately, get it tested to check first though :(Quote:

It sounds amazing on full throttle with only a little drone at 2k rpm. I was worried about the drone but it’s not to bad at all

Welcome back, your v70r looks lovely and that exhaust looks amazing, would you mind if I asked how much it cost for the full system front to back.

A bit of money, but looks a quality build and a very tidy job too.
Yeah true. I didn’t fancy anything off the shelf and for turbo back I recon it’s the going rate...Quote:
