I just had a quote from my local Volvo dealer to install the MOST security patch so I can fit a Grom and they want over £100 for it! Have anyone else had it done on theirs recently and what was the...

Have you looked at the Brodit website as they have loads of different holder mounts. I've got one in my V50 and am very happy with it.

I bought a pair of these (I bought the HEM3018's) and fitted them to the supply / earth wires leading to the ballasts last night and it was pretty successful. There is still a lot of interference...

Radio 2 still works on mine which is good otherwise I would have to listen to Radio 1 instead. After a lot of research on the web a few people have said that ferrite cores on the supply cables to the...

I think I spoke too soon as on the way to work this morning I noticed that some of the radio stations wouldn't pick up. I switched to side lights and the stations all worked, so it sounds like the...

I'm more than happy with mine. I'm going to relocate the ballasts somewhere like Stephen has done above, and there are no bulb warning lights on the dash, or flickering of the bulb. The light is so...

I couldn't be bothered messing round with resistors etc so I paid the extra for the CAN ones. Our work server crashed this afternoon so I had a spare hour and the HID's are now in. It only took...

I've been following this thread closely and it gave me the push needed to buy these off ebay for my V50. First impressions are the kit looks cheap, although I suppose it was so I can't really...

It was dyno'd at HLM on a dyno day back when this place was the T5 forum. Wobbly was there but I don't know if he remembers it or not. I've still got the print out somewhere. Everyone was surprised...

Isn't that quite low with those mods? My completely stock P2 T5 was 234 whp!

Sorry, just realised the link above was to the mobile site as I did it on my phone. Here is a better youtube link

If you want to see a better test check this video out. It's in Swedish (subtitled) but on a dry track. There is also a Jay Leno one on youtube if you search

That S60 looks nice! Fingers crossed the experiment works and we'll have affordable Polestar models in the future but a bit cheaper than this one!

Yeah i know they are out there (in small numbers) but i don't know if basic elec was also an option on them. I also don't know if my R leather would fit over a seat from a non R car.

According to what i have already read, the harness is already in the main car loom and you only need to have it programed if you want the memory function to work on the key unlock / lock. Do you have...

Has anyone on here fitted elec seats to a V50 (2009) before? It was on my wish list but the car I've found only has the manual heated seats installed so I am tempted to buy it anyway and get a seat...

I had a right ball ache trying to get pads for my P2 as Halfrauds supplied pads that didn't fit (the lugs didn't lign up and the pad was a differnet shape), and no-one else seemed to offer a...

As Adam says, you'll struggle to get a better £ per bhp ratio than that, unless you go for a cheap mod that only gives you a couple of ponies. If you consider a car such as the focus RS, my mate's...

3! I haven't got around to joining the local club yet but when i get the chance I'll be back at it.

Privateparts - I agree with Tomcat and i'd suggest either calling or visiting Volvo Tuning in...

Just a quick question for you all.

Did volvo re-design the suspension in the change from P1 to P2 V70's? I'm wondering if the shocks and or springs would be inter-changable.

Thanks

Matt

I agree silver on the saffron cars, but on most of the other colours i prefer the anthracite (that's what i'm getting on mine hopefully)

It sounds like you're having a good few days mate!!! You shouldn't be so aggressive on the old gear change.

I was on to Rochford tyres this morning and those 19" R copies will be back in stock within 2 -3 weeks.

Will the 19's fit straight on to the V70 / S60 without stiffening and playing with the suspension? The reason i ask is i like the look of the R copies on the same website as you mentioned earlier,...

How come they're going to use the T5 with only 220hp? The V70's etc have 250, so what's the benefit of downtunning the engine?
