not for me tho, i brought my one at just over a year old, at that point the car had lost £14,000!, bargin for me!

at the end of the day, its only money!

dave

your volvo specialist sure likes to make more money!

lol, i just like to call a spade a spade!

seems a little pointless, asking anything on the d5 site, its a complete flop!

dave

ok, who can get the lowest instant fig??, ive seen into the 3's mpg with mine, i will keep a eye on it over next week, for more detailed fig

dave

yep, same as mine, you guys with low mpg, must have lead feet! lol

dave

i feel for you fraz, nothing worse than problems with a new toy!

sounds like the waste gate Solenoid needs replacing if its possible??

hopefully some more techical peeps will hope you out!
...

wot size tanks are u guys running in the older t5's??, mine will do 360/80 to a full tank

dave

allright thats taking it to far! lol

that helps me justfly the not getting a diesel!

dave

you wont be getting that kind of mpg from a tuned 330d!

dont worry mate, peeps on here dont like anyone with a wee bit of money!lol

dave

my car reads just about spot on, which is the way i like it!, no excuses!

wot gear did you start in at 20?

you got the rica310, you should have destroy him!, somethings a miss!

or maybe diesel is the way to go!

dave

the dstc started appearing as standard on the 02 models, you know if you have it, cos there will be a button below radio, saying dstc on it

dave

the stc, is like the tracs(only driving wheels), and dstc, is the thing that stops you coming off on a corner, does all 4 wheels, not heard that it learns??dont know

dave

no, i can quite happly drive in comfort and sport all day long, advanced noway, but if its a road i know, or a roundabout i will switch on advanced for a few corners, advanced is for the track, which...

yeah those ferrari's sound great!, i dont think its ever dry at knockhill!, lol

dave

thats one good reason why the volvo came up with the 4c concept and those 3 little buttons on the dash

i think the s60r will still be crap in the snow even with awd, the tyres are far to wide, the wife used to have a polo with wee thin tyres, it used to go anywhere in the snow season!

im looking...

Ok mr.dull! lol

there's nothing wrong with this thread, very good fun to read, which makes the place more interesting, cos most of the time the threads are on the dull side

dave

it might seem like that to the person who that said that, but cruise will give me the best mpg without a shadow of doubt.

dave

lol, no!

"0-60 in 7.2 secs and 1/4 mile time of 15.75" your rica d5

i thought a standard s60 t5, could get about 15 secs 1/4 mile, 6.5 secs 0-60

which does therefore make it faster than a tuned d5
...

and that torque will be top of the peak, which only last for a very short period, it will not hold that level of torque from say 2000 - 5000rpm, which a petrol turbo volvo would hold it there
