The poly one will increase vibration and noise, if you upgrade the bulkhead one then you get a HUGE increase in engine noise, which I LOVE, however you also get a lot more vibration from your...

Yeah see my post above regarding the Powerflex bulkhead mount. Maybe get it from RT Mechanics as if you ahve the older mount they will if you ask remove the volvo bush which is a HUGE pain and I...
Yep it makes the engine sound different I think due to the less amount of engine moment possible because of the stiffer mount. If you think that mount makes a difference then you HAVE to change the...
Its a Swedish car, you know what it is like up the north of Sweden, rather dark all winter for many months so some people get upto some crazy things just to pass the time!
I had to cut the inner edge off mine, was a pain!
Have you upgraded your bulkhead mount, thats the one at the other end of the engine mount? Powerflex do this, but you need the newer Volvo mount...
I think the 304 you HAVE to run 98octain or above, the 280 you can run on 95 if I remember from ages ago when he did mine.
I've PM'd ya.
Can you fit these bits any time? I mean do you have to do it with an oil change?
I've only used Tesco 99 once before when passing through Cardiff and can't say I noticed any difference myself performance wise.
Completely understand but I'm excited because if I even run 97 octane my car struggles with the engine knock sensor so driving is not nice. The nearest Shell to me is a 45minute round trip, have to...
I think sometimes they will use any excuse to get out of paying for something, if any supermarket heard of this I'm sure they would be greatly dissatisfied with what Toyota are saying about their...
If you look around on the Net you find great reviews of the Tesco99 fuel, gone are the days of supermarket fuel having no additives with their 99 octane. Tesco have been sponsoring motorsport for...
Just had the nod from one of the guys at Greenergy (the company who produce and supply Tesco with their 99 Octane fuel) that since end September 2009 the super unleaded 97 octaine pumps in/around...
I got a BSR one in mine, money well spent as you not only get the JR filter but a heat panel to stop excess heat from the engine!
In the back of my 850R manual it says you should run 98octain min, but any petrol car SHOULD perform better the higher the octain logically. Just you gain if you have a more performance orientated...
When I bought my 850R it had a Superchip on it, they are so good that the whole ecu and board had no cover on it because it wouldn't fit with the Superchip!!!
Now it is always better to have a...
Just phoned my local Kwik Fit and £45 all in, I am down in Plymouth.
Is there anyway you can specifically tell if it is out of gas? Only owned my 850R for 6 months and when I turn it on it doesn't seem any colder, so guess it is out, but a friend of mine a few years...
Did Plymouth in Devon to Tenby in South-West Wales, 75mph all the way with the cruise control and got 33mpg on the digital gauge running Shell V-Power.
Had a problem on my 96 850R with the battery going flat quick, it was a new battery aswell. Traced it back to the battery ground that connects to the bottom of the front of the engine not being...
Can we have some updated photo's!?
The Turbo won't kick in to around 3000RPM so.......
I have an induction kit available for £30 delivered if ou are interested, was £90 brand new. PM me if interested.
I'm sure it isn't a good idea to lower the AWD. I know from a fair few years ago at the volvo dealer the guy there had a V70 and he said the ECU when plugged in went AWOL if there was uneven tyre...
I have BSR induction kit and sounds amazing!
