Got m'self a set of 15" standard volvo alloys (dunno what type - they're 6 spoke) with big fat old 195x65x15 tyres for £60 the set, with tyres offa eBay. It's great! Stoopid I know, but I can now...

It's not all the same place - I've been to 3 places now. Anybody know of any perfo's going begging?

It's potholes.

Funny, I remember just last night turning into the road round the corner, and hearing a crash like somebody'd hit the wheel with a sledgehammer - I even said to my wife (in jest) ...

I've an 855 t5s fitted with (second set now) titan wheels.

So far this months I've gone through 6 new tyres. They keep just going flat.
A couple of the rims are fairly well ££££ed now as with...

Does anybody have any experience of LPG on a T5? I have a M REG 850T5 with a RICA 280 conversion. Comparatively low mileage (95k) And am just looking at options for reducing running costs(!). I drive...

where on volvospeed?!!

any ideas where I might get hold of a schematic (or at least the pinouts?) - from what I've read, this is quite a good unit - you can hook an iPod into it and all sorts (if you can make it talk to...

Compressor is under the bonnet (it's driven by the belt on the left hand side of the engine)

Evaporator is behind the dashboard - when my garage looked at mine they told me that Volvo had...

Have you considered an exorcism?

9171700 (pressostat)

Have you checked the pressure switch? see here

It arrived this morning and I see what you mean!

Also has totally different connectors on the back - is there an adaptor you can buy to go from the 850 plugs to the S40 sockets?

Replaced the pressure switch this morning and everything seems good - To be honest there's not much to clean inside it - it's just a hollow chamber with a small hole which leads up into the body of...

Took it off & cleaned it as suggested last night and my a/c worked for a whole 4 hours! Went to volvo & ordered a new 'un this morning (£35 now tho Splatt - don't know how long ago you bought yours?)...

When my guy regassed it he took out about 600grams of gas (or something like that - I honestly wasn't listening very hard) - which he said was good as he only put back in 750-odd, and he said that...

Works for a bit then bombs out again - It's supposed to be hot this weekend too... Sorry splatt, are you saying that changing the switch fixed the problem? If so then that's a total bonus...

My T5-R aircon never worked, and when I called up a local specialist he told me that 850's were prone to chewing up evaporators - an expensive business, coz they're behind the dashboard, so a...

I phoned my local Volvo dealer who told me that the wiring harness for a V/S40 is totally different and that he reckoned it wouldn't fit, but he sounded like he may just've been saying that to cover...

... But what on earth are "roof cunnings"? - it all sounds very rude to me

ebay link to HU605 CD player - and if so, why are they a third the price of any other Volvo CD unit - are they ££££?

I'm a lazy old git and I want an auto (I know).

Does anybody know of a nice, low mileage T5 CD estate (preferably without extra wings/blacked out windows etc) going for around £2000?

Well, If I can save a grand, then I can afford some good security and a remap with what I save I suppose... Are you saying £300 would get me 280bhp? (heh heh heh...)

I definitely need an estate - that's what attracted me to the Volvos in the first place, but I think it was the 850 t5R badge (and fancy alloys, spoilers etc) which got the car noticed by the scum...

Looking to replace my T5R (see spotted).
I want something that's as fast, but I'm not really bothered about super-duper handling (most journeys on the motorway). My Insurance have coughed up £3300....
