Great thread, just read all 97 pages lol, took me 3 days or so on and off :crazy:

Nice work!

So jealous of you guys that can fabricate things :B_thumb:

Nice job Dave, that downpipe looks awesome, not the easiest of jobs to do with the added issue of the angle gear being in the way.

I’ve just had 2 small leaks into my footwell in both V70 and XC70. Here’s some images of the stuff I came across.

Our new house has a steep drive and getting in and out of the garage is a PITA, especially with the low ground clearance on BR coilovers. I finally finished the necessary ramps needed to get Betsy...

Well……….

Had a small leak from the remote reservoirs, so stripped it all down
and ended up replacing one of them, the bleed the whole system, in
preparation for the track day. But once at the...

Wife overlocked a section of heat wrap to form a heat shield for the new AFR sensor loom. Fits nicely into the space. A bit of fettling to do (suspect that there is a small exhaust...

I recently had a failing injector. It felt like the engine was chugging a bit and felt like a misfire at times. The car didn’t throw any fault codes. So I researched the issue and someone suggested...

Quick update

Having finally tuned the car to a point where it cold starts reliably, and is reasonable on fuel, I parked it up. In the garage from January to today, and I drove an S60 instead. Now...

GLWTS, I'd be interested if my drive wasn't already full of Volvo's and still trying to make space for a very special one at present, when it arrives it will be posted up on here.

Picking Betsy up with new MOT and paint job from the body shop end of this week. Really looking forward to it. Once I've got her to Jedburgh - I can start trying to remediate the overboost and...

You should be easily able to get 300hp from you car (though it would be a lot easier with an earlier p80 car), the 3"dp and system should be first up, green injectors and 3"maf (if your car doesn't...

It’s interchangeable. I had a 1997 FWD P1 V70R which was hit in the side on a roundabout. I went to a generic Volvo breaker and picked up a new rear beam as mine was bent after the accident.

I bought these for my V50 I found them to be excellent, but now have the V70 with normal bulbs.

Good to see you back up and running again

Apologies, we had a daft fault but now the site is back.

Although this site seems to have less issues than Facebook of late, due to the nature of technology these things do happen unfortunately.

Quick update so I don't forget it all

Have been re-mapping it as I go really. Some more advance, some VE table tweaks, and I've got PID control working for the EGO so I can manage about 500 miles...

Sorry for my inactivity, we were slowed down waiting for some main bearings due to covid, and i still dont posess any ?

i will be back on it soon and keep you posted

Aye, its practically flush with the bulkhead at the back.

Shoe horned in for sure!!

Thanks for the response. I have this afternoon begun the task of working round all the boost and vacuum hoses to check for leaks. I tried a quick propane test a couple of weeks ago to see if I could...

Hiya matey!

Well, what can I say?
Having owned the car since 16th Jan 21 and only done circa 1700 miles, most of this mileage has NOT been on the motorway. Some of it has but only for a few...

Thanks!
Yeah I know forums are quiet now days.. such a shame they are soo much better than bookface
I took the wife to show it today. And even though she hates Volvos, she didn't say it was a bad...
