I had to replace this part on my R.. Stopped the automatic Recirc function working.

Just to p1ss you off though Al, I got mine from FCP Groton in the USA... Shade under £90. I had no tax to pay...

B5244T4

hope that helps

Ditto! Clutch pedal position sensor would be my bet... Common fail... About £40 and 10 mins to change over although you need to be a bit of a contortionist to be able to reach it at the top of the...

On the 1st issue, yes you are correct.. Oil/fluid appearing on the sensor indicates slave cylinder failure from memory. The slave on these cars is internal so, to replace is a gearbox out job. Bet...

[QUOTE=The Flying Moose;480636]Many thanks Burchi, Ill watch for your results and pending the result buy one. Silly question but is the motor incorporated into the laser assembly? Reason I ask is I...

Just found this source for the replacement laser pickup device for the DVD based RTI systems.
...

The DVD not readable error is a very common issue on the earlier model years (prior to 2005) RTI drives. Mine has just started doing the same thing with no warning. Cleaning discs don't fix, alcohol...

Hi Al

Yes, rear side hope is pretty unnerving and those tyres don't help and did improve with being swapped over. The V70R is worse on this than the S60R but both suffer.

Also, alignment is...

Hi Martin

I found them to be very noisy, poor in terms of wet handling, not long lasting and the tramlining was shocking on the 18" rims. All in all, I couldn't get them off the car quick enough...

They're not all weather but:

Toyo Proxies T1-R

Great grip, quiet, 22,000 miles on the current set and a bit of wear left and got them for £110 per corner inc VAT plus fitting.

1000 x better...

Sounds like "axle ping". Where the loctite for bolts in the wheel hubs is not so strong.

Resolution is to get XC90 axle bolts as these have rubber grommets on them that set a firm seal against the...

Yes but I'd be prepared to bet very few cars that are brand/nearly new or even 1 owner have had as hard a start to life as this one did given it's use as a Freedom Day Track car. The fact that when I...

I wouldn't touch that car with a bargepole and if anyone on here has bought it I wish them much luck...

It was previously owned by a guy called Orrin who was on here a bit at one time and who had...

Hi...

Looks like a lovely car you have there. Hope you enjoy it.

Can I recommend that as it's still such low mileage, you will be able to buy a warranty for it. Get the biggest and best one you...

Hi... Hope you are enjoying your new car.. Before you go spending money on changing out parts on this, I would suggest you get the following checked out as this is a quite common issue.

The SUM...

Hi Bugman

There is a Volvo TNN for this specific issue on the R's. It is fixed by using different clamps on the gear selector cables. It was a warranty item when the cars were covered but, I guess...

Hiya When you use the Cruise Control button to activate Cruise, you then need to press the + button on the control to set the car to maintain the speed you are at.

This should then work and press...

I have just added my comments on these cars to the attached thread.

Hi.... I don't wish to pour cold water on your possible purchase but, as said PLEASE get the very best warranty you can buy. These cars can run into £thousands when things go wrong. Here's a list of...

Lovely car that... Got a V50 R Design D5 SE Sport in brilliant blue metallic about a month ago to replace my wife's RAV-4 T180.

She absolutely loves the car and I have to say it does feel a very...

Yes... I would give it a miss TBH. The 2.5 capacity of the R engine means much slimmer cylinder walls and the risks of cracked blocks are increased as a result of this and this has been seen many...

I'm still convinced it's not a 2005 car with those black plastic bumper and side body mouldings. They should be colour coded if 2005.



Ian

Hi Mac

I would question if that is a 2005 MY car as during the '54 reg there was a facelift which as one of the changes gave body coloured bumper strip inserts and body coloured door rubbing...

Hi Mac

I think the general consensus by owners on these cars is they are great fun to drive. It's a nice place to be with lots of creature comforts etc.

They can be an absolute money pit...

Hi Mo

This will fit but will NOT work as the CAN bus in the 2005 onwards is different from the previous model years. The HU-850 is as you say from the later model years and if fitted to cars from...
