If your from Chadderton in Oldham theres a cracking independant Volvo place in Altrincham called 'Independant' and their labour charges are 'real world' compared to the dealers..and to be honest they...

Thers a place in Sutton (Macclesfield) called SAS and theyll refurb your wheels for about £80-£100 a corner.

They actually do a lot of wheel building refurbing for the Classic car collectors etc...

Sorry to say this but I reckon that people who give their car pet names need to get out more!!!!!

Mine doesnt whistle as such...it sounds more like a manic Dyson Vacuum cleaner at full flight!!!!

I think what youve got Tomcat is a case of the phantom tracs!

On mine tracs is on until you press the tracs button then a light comes on but it says tracs off!

So you could summise that if...

And turquoise!!!! Adam at VT has (had?) a turquoise one!

yeah but on the CD the above will have all been options (on the T5R/R they are standard!)

You could say that Titans were standard on the CD as they were available as an upgrade option!

As for...

The T5R/R also has a beefier clutch than the T5

And also has thicker antiroll bars (as well as stiffer shocks etc)

Apart from the obvious interiorwise (suede,black walnut etc) the T5R/R were...

I wired mine directly into the horn cables and (in both my Volvos) and have never had any problems......not even a popped fuse!

Maybe its just a T5R owners thing ;)

In fact I might get some APs for the rear too :)

Christ! I was only jesting!

Ill leave you to it then!

Night

Oh! I give up!

Hows this then? If I buy a set of APs (through my company so im not really paying for them) and get Ferodo pads in them can I play?

Cos I think you are all ganging up on me now...

Hed have been fine if he was running a lovely warmed up set of APs ;) ;) ;)

Not trying to be pedantic Justin, but arent DS2500 pads race pads?

as it says in Ferodos bumf 'Developed for light inertia race cars' ;)

On the subject of Police cars and brakes, did you ever see the episode of that TV program with the Sheffield traffic police where a Police V70T5 was responding to a call and was tanking up a motorway...

Surely thats down to the pad compound?

Do VT do tyres?

Couldnt have said it better myself! :)

Maybe ive got too much money to spend......eh?

Ive got titatnium compound crossdrilled and grooved front discs and originally they had Mintex fast road pads on them. Initial bite was good but the fade was quite frightening sometimes especially if...

Theres a couple of police car centres dotted around, one is in Hyde Cheshire and I think theres one in Blackpool too (not sure of the names of them though!)

There is a common myth that Police cars...

no it came free with my body (I think it was on a special offer!)

I agree, the brakes on the T5s are appalling and I think £1500 is a small price to pay for safety!

My moto is 'If youve got a 10 dollar head then buy a 10 dollar helmet'

You can go AP for £1240 plus VAT!

True!!

The aircon compressor in mine sounds like Darth Vader with a bad case of Asthma when driving slowly with the window down!
