A run yet to do mate :D
there is a couple of lovely other roads that you can combine into a nice trip around the lake into bala and back around the lake on your return home, truely stunning countryside that most folks would never even know is there, Claymore and External Error have been for a look last year.....:)
Gul died tonight...500m from home cut out an no re-ignition.. rolled on to the drive...will see tomorrow what is the cause, I have my ideas but no mil light so thats a plus....roll on day light
Oh dear. Hope it's something simple
You ran out of fuel I once watched a film where some one pissed in the tank for fuel I think it would be quite fitting for a piss yellow car lol.
Hope you get it sorted pal
Cheers guys, hope to sort it easily tomorrow it's an 850 after 9 years it should be simple.....lol
Might be something crazy simple, like an earthing strap - Fingers are crossed for you!

:lol:
Seriously, hope it's something simple Ade
Thanks Guys, just been out for a quick look at the issue and I'm of the opinion that the fuel pump is dead after approximately 300,000 miles which also happen on the Olive a while back with similar miles, so once this mornings chores are out of the way I'll check out the pump and most probably swap it out for the spare one I have here from the old v70 2.0l. Not bad though if the life span of bosch fuel pumps are 280-300,000 miles.
Power to pump....check......pump swapped out and Gul's alive again folks....:)
Right time to move on.... (as if lol) ....to sorting out bits and bobs, rear delta setup needs full refurb, various oil leaks, stiff power steering in cold conditions, non existent handbrake and a general service with new cam belt, pcv etc, refurbed front calipers and 302 brakes and discs....first step spare front and rear brake calipers and hangers stripped and shot blasted at work tonight...now the expensive bit...the rest.
Tbf she's not really cost much in just short of 2 1/2 years of ownership, so getting the engine and running gear in tune with the new suspension has got to be a plus, especially as the passenger side delta link is fubar'd, time to test the new custom extraction tool
Let us know how you get on with the extraction tool, I may need to borrow it if it works!
Got to test it before you can borrow it...:)
The outer Delta link bush removal and insertion tool isn't expensive and very good if you increase the pin diameter by a couple of mm.
I made the tool a while back and had a relatively good dummy run on an spare subframe, but a small amount of heat will no doubt be needed if the bush is being really stubborn and the tool will pull the new bush back in with ease. Will most likely refurb the spare subframe and just swap the lot in one go, that's assuming the v70 p1 rear suspension is the same as the 850, they look the same to me unless I've missed something.
