22.2 average for me, mixture of short journeys and the occasional 30mile commute to work. Was 24mpg till I fitted my cone filter, it's an auto too.

I was actually looking at replacing the T5 with an S type R, impressive bit of kit for the dosh! Really appreciate all the info, do you know the weight of one disk? The bias is a big concern, might...

Keri: Okay many thanks, I'll keep an eye on your thread for updates.

oblark: Really? I did not know that, I thought they were single piston. Might look at fitting 4pots instead then.

Neal:...

That's exactly what I'm after! The calipers are Alcon items fitted to the R series of jags. Would you happen to have a part number?

Keri: I'll be running 18's so shouldn't have clearance issues,...

Cheers liam had a read of that already and it's starting to look like I'm gonna have to use one of their bells and a bigger rotor.

oblark: That was the set up I was looking at going to before I...

Hi guys

As the title says really, what's the largest disks that will fit straight on the 850 hubs? I was browsing eBay for 4pot calipers and came across some very nicely priced 6pot calipers that...

Hi mate thought I'd update this quickly, swapping the dimmer control over completely fixed my dashboard light issues. Now I no longer need my ghetto kitchen light lol.

I have a similar problem, my lights come on for 30 odd seconds then just black out, I have a suspicion it's the fader switch at fault so I'm gonna swap it for the one out of my other T5. My ghetto...

Spot on mate cheers! Another mod to add to the ever growing list!

They look much tidier than the big grey snails Volvo fitted. Are the connections the same on the Saab horns?

I'll help you fit it buddy it's unbelievably easy! I've yet to fit the blanking plate but I'll let you know when I do and how easy/how many scraped knuckles you'll get! The sound really is bloody...

It wasn't a problem switching it over apart from having to cut a bracket and the fact it's so tight against the master cylinder does concern me a little bit but I'll figure a way to sort it.

Phil:...

It's not all cut and dry with the Volvo brace, when I switched to an auto I swapped the brace over and the main bar is very tight against the master cylinder, there was a good inch gap from the...

Typical just sent you a bloody pm about this! Ask if he can make up some removable baffles so you can have the best of both worlds or you could just man up and bask in the glorious sound of the 5...

That's quite a track car buddy! What's it like compared to the S60R?

A big shouty version of the mundane family cars they sell? like the RS escorts and their bright paint and stripes or the sierra and escort cosworth with the big body kits and massive spoilers? Always...

Right, managed to get 2 pieces of the heatsheild off and now my Speedo has stopped working along with the real time mpg display and now an orange waning light with a green triangle has popped up on...

Cheers guys heatsheild is in the process of being removed, bloody awkward but getting there slowly. Many grazed knuckles already lol.

Hi all

Still having quite serious boost problems, needle won't go into the white on the boost gauge, checked all piping and it seems fine no leaks etc. My lpg kit makes access to the turbo rather...

My abs light is permanently on, read the codes and know the faults (RR circuit has a break and abs pump is fudged) only locked up once by accident in 5,500 miles and that was heading to the oxford...

I must be in the minority in thinking carbon fibre looks terrible outside of the engine bay on any volvo, just doesn't look right interior or exterior. colour coded with the body IMO.

Ah that's what confused me, I thought the standard gauge read higher psi than that!

My turbo needle used to go past the white but as far as I'm aware the car doesn't have a mbc fitted, just a Rica 280!? I do need to have a look at the turbo to see if any hoses are loose as I'm...
