Ones that heat up alot without showing signs of rubbing at all, and they're new!
Off with the discs again then :shockedbi. A major pain in tbe backside !!
I love the shape of these, so well designed, particularly the interior, that 2 tone interior is just pure lush. My one and only problem with the modern day Volvos is this. If I buy for fuel...
Naw mate the new discs went on after I replaced the second drive. The vibration is gone now. It vibrated like a flat tyre vibration last night turned out to be the unexplained ghost in my brakes!!!
My 02 S80D5 has started a non sensical issue with the rear nearside brake. I was at a concert in Belfast last night and I had to collect my father enroute. I stopped at his house and could smell a...
Turned out both drives were on their way out. Youd wonder what would cause such a thing to happen
The exhaust I never thought of so I must look into that although there is no noise during this shuddering. It was the short LH drive I fitted so unless the long one is on its way out or if its a CV...
Sorry to be a pest again but after replacing wishone bushes, drive, ball joint and shock mounting plus have the car lazer aligned and the wheels balanced there is still a vibration. It is actually a...
That's impressive mate, I will absolutely have to give that a go. Wish you were local!!! I'll keep everyone posted.
My C70 done same recently, bought a new sensor as that's what I was told it was too. Not fitted yet but my advice, for all the price difference buy genuine Volvo. That's what I did, was only about a...
Bushings are only 2 weeks old so not them. It's the tyre depot here that does the alignment but the owner is a good friend so I'm sure he'll give it the once over. Tyres are only 6-8 weeks old and...
We'll problem sorted. It was the ABS ring. It wasn't on the drive true so I straightened it up and gave it a little tap with a chisel and viola. I wouldn't recommend over taping with a chisel as I'd...
Well I'm not working until later so I'm heading off now to my fathers shed to change ABS ring and fit ball joint so I'll update later. Fingers crossed it's just ring!!!
Sorry I've no updates as yet. I wasn't on here for ages, I work 9 billion hours a week so generally the only chance I get to get on is on my iphone and the screen being so small makes it rather...
Lovely!!! I should really let a mechanic do these jobs but then I am a bloke lol
A quick brake question. I just fitted a second hand drive to my D5 S80 02 and now I have ABS and STC lights on dash and computer displaying the message ABS/ ANTI SKID SERVICE REQUIRED. The only thing...
I'll be honest my gut is saying replace the clutch but I couldn't find reason for this to fail start. That however makes a lot of sense, I'll be talking with him tomorrow and get him to check just...
Scary stuff, my mechanic is Volvo trained however now works for Skoda and has been over the years very very good to me. If I don't rush him and allow him to take his time thankfully he won't roast...
Once my mechanic gets the car transported to his garage he'll run his own diagnostics, just a little worrying now hearing other specialists have been at the car with no luck. Surely a car can't be...
Hi all I'm new to the forum but a long time Volvo driver and lover!! I recently bought a non starting 03 S80 D5, I'm wondering has anyone else experienced a non starting S80? I got the car so cheap I...
