The only trouble with wiring your dashcam to a lighter socket is in the event of an accident the power will be cut of to the socket if the airbags deploy and switch off your camera, I have seen a...

I have the same but from the rear of mine. Dunno what it is. I'm thinking spring seats.

Looking at your photos, what you have there is a dis-assembled CV joint. It has brown grease suggesting it is emulsified lubricant, due to a tie-wrap being used instead of an Oetiker clamp, water...

When I had my wiper motor to bits to I think I remember there being a fuseible component in there. Worth taking the cover off the motor to check of if it doesn't spin with a voltage applied.

James, you wouldn't have a front n/s caliper/pad carrier would you?

The alarm and sunroof are connected in respect that your alarm module battery has failed and possibly leaked out onto the pcb and corroded it. This kills the sunroof operation. You can take the...

Have you had a look at your coil packs? They can cause problems at specific RPMs. They tend to deteriorate over time due to the heat. This was a similar issue I had with a friends C70 although it...

I've been using stretchy boots for 10 years and I've had no problems. I've still got some on and running since then. DON'T buy a universal one, get the exact boot for your car. Bailcast will supply...

Changing the clutch over os one thing I've not attempted yet on a car. Reading up on the V70P2, the instructions state you need a spring retainer to hold a spring in place while the clutch is...

Congrats on your success. Agree with the aux belt fitting, it is a problem, but not with a bit of technique. Like on the 850 and now on the V70, without a proper tool to slacken the belt off AND...

I wouldn't worry about that small chip on there. I doubt it is exposing anything live. Take the rear of your old alternator if it will fit.

The first bracket is missing [ Between your second and third photos.

Thanks for the mention James and well done on repairing your car.

P.S.There is a missing bracket in one of your photos:-

You don't have to loose any coolant to remove the alternator. The pas pump unbolts without having to disonnect any hoses. You also don't have to remove any of the reservoirs, just lift them out of...

I had my alternator out a couple of weeks ago to replace the regualtor/brush pack. The biggest aggro was the aux belt. Getting it off and on. It was suggested to drain the system down a bit which...

I used the 850 rivets available on partsforvolvos.com and they worked for me.

The nearside tyre looks very close to the ground and may even be touching the ground causing it to stop. This would also give you some extra noise. You also get in and out of the car which may...

My front wishbone, rear bushes are shot too. The have half-detatched from the arm and it's only time before they completely go but it doesn't look dangerous as they are held in place by the arm...

How would they be to fit? Are you planning a squeeze in with a vise job?

What you are hearing is the brake vacuum pump which sits at the rear of the headlight. It is to give extra vacuum to the brake servo. It sounds like you have a leak somewhere or I believe, a faulty...

Ask them what the quality of the workmanship on replacing the chip was like, if one was resoldered onto the board, as I know of one which had terrible soldering that had to be re-done by a friend of...

This is what I had a few weeks ago. Try unplugging the connector and re-plugging the it on the brake angle sensor on the vacuum assist.

This happened to me recently but I eventually managed to rebuild the CV joint. I have now had both prop/halfshafts out of this car to replace the two inner CV gators the the main stealer garage...

I'd be interested in polybushes as both my front arm, rear bushes, on mine are on the way out. As long as they aren't some ridiculous price. I can aready buy them, not poly, but rubber, for a...

I would not look at your tyres again, but I would get your spare tyre and replace it with each wheel in turn and go for a spin after the car is warmed up and the fault is more apparent. It sounds...
