Those who are fairly new on this forum have probably never heard from me but although not active for some time I've been a member for years, it says since 2010 but it's longer than that. If I...

Interesting, didn't realize they were so sort after and valuable, thanks for your help.

Hi all,

I have a set (5) of 850R wheels, the original 7 spoke ones (can't remember what they are called). All the tyres are shot for one reason or another and all but one will need a complete...

and a bit off topic but my other old girl

The old girl had her MOT this morning and failed on O/S track rod end, is that all I said.

New track rod fitted and now new MOT, 15 years old, 258k miles and 18.5k since the last MOT I can't...

Glad you managed to sort it. Not something i'd like to do on a full stomach!!!

Sounds like the servo motor to flap connector had broken. The servo motor that controls the screen/floor direction is located on the drivers side of the heater box accessed by removing the kick panel...

Hi,

The usual suspects and cheapest to sort are.....

Turbo return seals. . . . To check, with car raised (safely obviously), engine running, get under the car, look up the back of the engine...

Its possible that the braking material has become detached from the backing, quite a common problem. Take the discs off and see what the brake shoe condition is, new ones are not expensive from Volvo.

You will need longer caliper brackets and possibly longer flexible brake pipes. I didn't change the pipes on mine and haven't had a problem. The calipers and pads are unchanged.

Check that the...

Sure its 75kg on the roof bars. Without going out to the car and checking again. I lug an old wooden dinghy on mine and i'm sure when i looked it up 75kg springs to mind.

Agreed, most common problem is the turbo oil feed return. Throws oil all over the place. If you can get under the car a very simple job.

Another thing it could be is the oil filler cap seal, again...

I certainly come from the Clacton direction up the A120 and onto the A12 either London or Ipswich bound depending on whether i'm going to work or to play. There aren't too many green 855r's about...

My 855R auto has clocked up over 225000mls on original engine, gearbox, turbo in fact everything except brakes and service items. She is still going strong with no issues that i know of and still...

Did you get the tracking checked having changed the wishbone, is the wear feathered ie looks like its tearing the tread? That would indicate tracking.

Could be lots of negative camber, front...

Strange, when you say the filler cap, do you mean the petrol filler cap and do you mean the flap or the screw cap? The flap can be opened manually from the load bay by removing the trim on the...

My 850R auto is now at 216000mls with no issues that I am aware of (famous last words).
