Hi there,

I've just bought a 240 GLT with 'Virgo' alloys, and was planning in the near future to swap them over to a set of Borbet 'A's.

I think the 240 would really suit a deep dish rim, and...

I don't have the seven seat option, so no probs there.

Just as long as it fits the V70 though..!

Hi folks,

As title says, anyone know where i can get a rear strut brace or brace bar for a PH 1 V70 in the UK or Europe....???

Dont really want to pay extortionate amounts from the States.

Yeah mate, i mean the unit with the dials on it.....!!!

Hi Dan,

Had this probelm myself a while ago with the blowers trying to kick in, and the fault lights flashing up. However me being me, i never posted what the solution was.

Definately remove and cover with clear vinyl......

And on that note, sell me your silver guard, before my rear bumper gets any scratches....!

Hey peeps,

Just bought some Forever Black Bumper & Trim Cleaner & Reconditioner, as the mudflaps, and as title of thread suggests have become a bit faded....

Is it difficult to remove the lower...

Thanks for the picture Claymore. :bow_kneel

I've just fitted the brace, and the 'notch' makes sense. Just clears the back of the main fuse box.

Many thanks to everyone who replied. ...

Thanks a lot guys. Bloody panicked when I saw it initially. Thought WTF, canny be right...!
Will fit it tomorrow when I'm off shift.
Cheers again guys, yer all stars...!

I've just taken delivery of a strut brace for the v70R from lipscombes in Aylesbury. Bought it from their eBay site.
After a lengthy wait due to a crap courier I recieved it earlier tonight after...

yeah, same thinh happens when on auto or manual, fan kicks in for 3 secs, then cuts out followed by 20 flashes.

Doesn't matter what the temp is on......

Worst thing is my nearest Volvo dealer...

Initially the fan kicks in for about 3 seconds, then cuts off again, thats when the lights start to flash.

Another couple of pics, original file sizes were too large.....

So you'd recommend the 304 then if its basically a Rica map like yours....???

The nearest Rica dealer to me is in Aberdeen, and is a hassle to get to.

So i can send my ECU down by post....???

Brilliant, tht will save the petrol costs then...! lol..!
