or maybe one these, excellent mpg i believe

The t5 fuel consumption isnt crap, its what you expect given what the car is, if you were getting those figures from a toyota yaris then yes they would be crap, horses for courses

totally agree, i stupidly bought some scam tech arms a while ago, total crap lasted about 12k,finally bought some genuine items off rufe, still going strong 40k later

what exactly did you expect mate? its a big volvo estate, it weighs close on a ton and a half, it produces around 225 bhp and it does 150mph, surely the thought must have crossed your mind before...

thats the problem with running old bangers, a even a modest amount of work can cost more than the things worth

sounds like significant engine wear has occured oiling up plugs normally indicates serious bore /ring wear

simple answer, i very much doubt it

330bhp? keep taking the tablets mate

i replaced my p zeros with dunlop sports maxx, far better, and cheaper at seventy quid each

the blue smoke could also be caused by worn rings/bores, classic sign of bore /ring wear is blue smoke whilst accelerating

Did mine a while ago, can honestly say it made not a jot of difference

thought it could be broken /breaking wire from the temp sens ???any half decent spark should be able to test the wiring for faults "master techs" my arse

does it only happen when the air con is switched on? if it does perhaps the evap drain is blocked

ive had similiar symptoms, head gasket was on its way out
