I found the auto a little infuriating on the early 850/s/v/c70s. Nail it for an overtake between 40-45 mph and its too fast for a kick down into 1st, but 2nd gear is just too tall for it to shift at...

I favour part worn Continental 2s (205/45/17) on my modded 850 (currently running around 360bhp) which I can get for £45 each with 7mm tread from my local emporium.

Grip in the dry is the best Ive...

Im running one on my monster due to no one other than Marco at MTE willing to do custom work at the time and I couldnt wait until he was next in the country.

Mixed results, Im afraid. Mapping is...

Do fake autos count? ;)

Mine's been doing 850 miles a week @23mpg :(

30p a litre more?.....:cry:

If its any help, the likes of HIDs direct sell spare parts such as the ballasts separately. Last time I bought some it was £20 for a pair

Unless they've already been changed most of the suspension parts are likely to be pretty tired :(

Problem with suspension is that once you've started taking it apart you may aswell do everything...

I had the same problem with mine until I flattened the tab in the green lighting relay (Instructions below)

My car is pushing out around 360bhp at the moment through the standard autobox.

Its generally happy enough but I think the lag on my car has saved the box as the GT30 doesnt really get going until...

As someone who runs a pretty quick auto Id say not to bother....The thing starts to slip as sson as you put any meaningful power through it.

My last dyno showed 305 at the front wheels and it...

Cheers for that...I'll pull it apart at the weekend!

When I change over to my CD changer the display now reads "H" and doesnt play. Can still change over CDs but gives the same error when trying to play.

Any ideas?

ecu is different for aircon models.

should sit just a smidge over 1/2 way.

The one I had from new did this and so does the one I have now so I guess thats just the way it is.

I never got on with the FSDs on my old S60. They felt too soft going into bends and only "firmed up" once you were committed by which time it was too late.

I much prefer the predictability of the...

apparently you need 20mm spacers for the big reds to fit behind a set of Volans!!:scared:

Here's my contribution :-)

I got mine off ebay. Was about £15 at the time although Ive not seen any listings for it recently.

Applied it to my badly faded bumpers about a year now and they still look brand new.

Well...

LOL! the joys of making a brew half way through typing a post...beaten to it!

They're just the standard 850 fogs. Usually some on ebay?

cant say it does on mine.

You want to try and prevent it from kicking down under throttle so Sport mode is no good.

Stick it in Winter mode so it starts in third and then lock it in 3 for the best results.

B&M used to do a short shift for the 850 t5.

Cant find a link but it used to be in the demon tweeks catalogue.

Before you go changing the dipstick seals check to see if it puffs smoke out of the dip stick holder after your pulled the dipstick with the engine running and warm.

As others have said its most...

Maybe its just an italian thing, but white rims on a rosso car is cool!
