Hi all,
Well finally getting my 2011 V70 D5 SE Lux in to have the old shocks replaced.
I've got a set of Bilstein B6 lined up but deliberating on the merits of adding the Eibach Pro 30mm lowering...
Thanks Andy.
My 11-plate D5 has over 150k on the clock so the shocks are probably well past it and one is weeping so looking at replacing the whole lot.
Just wanted something better (and ideally...
Cheers for the advice.
Still can't ignore the fact the Monroe Reflex came to about £144 for the full set. But maybe that should be a warning... Especially after opening the boxes to see how poorly...
Hi all,
I've got a 2011 V70 D5 SE Lux and I need to replace the original shocks and looking at options other than the standard factory replacements.
I want to keep the ride reasonably stock and...
Sadly not, different mounting points.
Nice car. Makes me miss my S60 T5...
I think you must have been really luck with managing to tint the last V70.
Most tinters will cut an approximate length of film either using a template. They then lay it on the outside of the glass...
Problem with LED replacements is they can produce a very white light but are unable to have the range of xenon or even halogen bulbs as the headlight housing and lens will not have been designed for...
I bought a set from another member a couple of years ago for the bi-xenons on my T5.
I think Volvo wanted about £120 for each glass lens.
No idea if they're still available but way cheaper than a...
Have had two 2.3 T5 with the 5 speed AW 55-50 gear box and both suffered with dodgy shifting most probably caused by sticking solenoids due to crud in them.
The ATF change/not to change debate is...
Had a similar problem when installing a Sensolutions MII RCA input adaptor onto my HU-803.
Connected a GLI into the phono sockets and it did the trick.
The HU-803 needs the external amp to feed the speakers.
It only has a small internal one for the Dolby centre speaker in the dash.
A good price if that includes the Tele-mute leads.
The Parrot Bluebox I stuffed between the top of the centre tunnel and the bottom of the heater unit down in the footwell.
The mic wire I ran along...
Hi there,
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
The ISO connectors won't interfere with those of the iMIV as that's connected via the MELBUS leads. The only tricky part is packing all the...
I think the CK3100 is far a better HF kit than the MK6100.
Even with latest software upgrade which included the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the external mic the sound wasn't great at the...
No worries. Sorry it was so long-winded.
If you are installing a bog-standard Parrot HF kit and not one with the whistles-and-bells like the MK6100 then the Tele-Mute adaptor is the easiest way to...
Right, time to throw my hat into the ring.
I installed a MK6100 into my S60 with the HU-803, this is the Bluetooth A2DP music streaming HF kit.
Volvokid, which HF is in your dad's S60R? Sounds...

The exhaust tip on Euro IV models point straight out and are chrome tipped like the petrol models.
The dirtier Euro III models (no particulate filter) have the tip pointed to the ground.
P2 models have this feature.
It just seems to be one of those recurring queries across all the different forum boards. Don't know if people are using the search function or not.
An "R" bumper would fit but I think you would need all the additional backing pieces rather than just replacing the skin. Compared S60R with V70R and came up with different part numbers for each...
I think someone should make this a Sticky as it gets asked numerous times across all the forums.
This is the afterblow function that activates about 30-40 minutes after the engine is turned off and...
Do you have Rear Park Assist as it might be the switch to turn the sensors off when you are towing.
Can you open your OSR door at all? If it only opens from the outside then the childlocks are on....
How old is your car?
I believe Volvo will cover half of the replacement cost for the door locks if the car is under 4 years old.
In the UK there will be a recall regarding the ETM failures. Spoke...
Here goes:
1. Look at your VIN no.
The 10th character will tell the model year
eg. 3=2003; 4=2004; 5=2005
The last 6 didgits are the chassis no. and for the S60 model years it goes:
2003...
