thanks Russ, I had an idea it might have been that but wasn't sure if it was a fault on the T5's. I will have a look along with the other niggles next week. Thanks guys.

Thanks guys, will give those points a look and see what happens. Any ideas on the knocking noises?

Sorry should have mentioned car is a 97 T5 estate. Duh!

Hi guys, havent been on for a while, pressure of work ETC. I have a couple of problems my car has developed recently and wondered if anyone can help? First one is when I nail my car in say third gear...

Thanks bedlam, I will have another look at that. Very cheap too I am impressed, especially after the shock of the door mirror glass.

OK guys, heres the lowdown on badges. It is a good idea to remove them with the hairdryer and works well. We normally use Tar and Glue remover at work and a filler spreader, you know the plastic type...

I had a look on Europarts website but couldn't find them. Anyone know a phone number for them? I didn't find a number on the site for some reason.

Thanks beldam, I shall give them a look. Got to admit £20 isn't too bad.

Well you were spot on bedlam. Anti roll bar link rod it is, top ball joint is moving around. Any ideas how much one of these will set me back? :slap:

No but it shows why you haven't had time to clean it this week, ha ha. :slap:

I have a noise when I am driving slowly along an uneven road and wonder if anyone can shed some light on it. As I drive it seems to come from the drivers side towards the front and I can best...

Try to knock him down a bit. I have the same car but 1997 and manual and I got it for £2000 by bartering. It actually sounds the same as yours with full history and refinements and it was from down...

Yes that is exactly what I thought the early ones are the Columbia and the later ones the Perfo's. As for bidding on e-bay no I am not d14dv-h. Just wanted to make sure I knew which was which. I...

Ok guys, that is four attempts I have had at uploading the pics and I can't seem to get the hang of it, I give in. :wallbash:

Here are the pics with the names as I think, if I am correct.

OK, who can tell me which wheels are really which. The original Volvo alloy wheels came in two guises Columba and Perfo. I think that is the right spelling. Now as far as I can work out the Columba...

Anyone know how much it roughly costs to get the A/C recharged? Also who does it in the Humberside area? Think mine might need it.

Well I had a look at the unit and sure enough it was set for vertical instead of horizontal. I moved the springs in the damping unit and it works fine now over even large pot holes. I guess I should...

It looks to me as a bystander that the early T5's owned by the police may have had some sort of performance upgrade and indeed been well manitained as far as services go. However given the economic...

Cheers guys, I will check out the adjustment and try the insulation.

I have recently fitted an Alpine 630 Cd changer under the floor in the rear of my estate and it sometimes skips when the car goes over potholes and bumps in the road, is this normal or is something...

Anyone know where I can get a chrome tailpipe for my T5? it is the standard square one not the oval like the 'R'.

Sorry glock19 just the disk. I have seen one on e-bay that should do the job though, usually goes for around £50.

see me nudge nudge, wink wink. :wink:

Hi Dave it is the brake warning light according to the handbook. i think I will check the fliud level and the float to see if it is stuck, more than likely it is this that is at fault. Just dropped...
