Hi,

well i started today mid afternoon and i'm well impressed with the difference it has made so far, still got the passenger side and roof to do. to be honest i think it will need 3 replacement...

LOL thanks folks, so there is a ray of hope! I will post before and after pics of her if she doesn't break the camera.

Hi there, i've bought a 440 which is in desperate need of some TLC. the interior is like new but the bodywork is dreadful. thought i would start by trying to revive the paint which has gone pale...

Standard Boost pressure on a T4 is 0.9 bar, 13psi.

Mobil 1 0W 40, fully synth. EVERY time i go into the garage after 5k to get it changed they slag me off with the same lines "mumble mumble chip pan oil mumble", "offers no protection mumble". but at...

A local dealer gave me the phone number of a guy who buys and sells older volvos, and he's got a couple i might be interested in , so going to see tomorrow :)

yeah i can't speak for the other volvos but the 2000 T4 at least definitely has pillar airbags, and a friend of ours who is a doctor told me he saw pretty awful facial injuries on a person from their...

Glad you like it, i haven't stopped grinning since i got it :p

it's a 4" tailpipe, and it was made by a company in Shotts, scotland, called Free Flow.

It takes a bit of time for the inside of the pipe to get dirty, when it does the sound becomes more impressive, as we noticed when ross got his mongoose exhaust. it sounded very growly straight away...

Here are some pics of my new custom exhaust system.

Firstly one of the rear of the car,
