I'll grand you it wasn't a very big facelift but i want the body coloured bodykit and side strips and i'm wondering when that hapened.

From what i've seen it looks like it was around 05-55 plate...

Hello All,

I'm very familiar with the audi engine 2.5D (TDI on 850) and the D5 engines (and they have been 100% reliable in my ownership)

I'm considering a smaller estate at the moment, and...

I'm going to look at this. ...

Thanks Chaps. Coming up to five years ownership and it makes a great companion to the volvo. They couldn't be more different. yet both are excellent at some things and trully shocking at others. :D

Nope, it's a 2.2 naturally aspirated.

Many prefer the turbo, i chose this over it. Much sharper, and a real joy on the twisties or on track.
...

And having just filled up, The trip is being a bit obtimistic:

Thanks Richie,

Have you spotted the p1 in the background? :D

Its been replaced with a p2 d5 Now. I must say i do miss the p1.

Well since there aren't just Volvo's in this section, here are the results of a couple of days work a few months ago. Given the weather we've had it hasn't really been out since.

:biggrin:

I finally bit the bullet and purchased one of the OEMs on ebay.

Now just need to find someone to paint it. Thats doesn't break the bank.

looks terrible, only have to hope the next v70 doesn't take on the droopy nose, or the dodgy lines.

Looks great!

Needs roof bars though :)

Good research b182!

I guess its a good idea to get these changed as a matter of course.
And keep the Crank pressure relief valve clean or replace regularly.

cheers

I rather thought the same.

Has anyone tried some of the non-OEM ones that seem to be availlable.

Or is there are good source of OEM spoilers somewhere?

Hello All,

Great looking forum. I'm from a volvo family and currently drive a v70 2.5D. Perfectly lovely but i've an opportunity to buy a 2003 V70R.

Can anyone offer any advice as to anything...
