WELL…finally an update!!!
As mentioned previously, when I bought the car I had noticed the tell-tale mark on the prop shaft suggesting all was not well, the mark indicated damage resulting in a...
Great story and welcome.
Our T5 (family member) is still with us and sits on the driveway with the 2 V70Rs being used regularly too. Was going to sell her but having owned her for 11 years now,...
Had been having an intermittent display of the “Anti Skid Service Required” warning on the ’05 black V70R. This then became a permanent feature and forced me to look into the issue.

I modified the grille on my '05 Sapphire Black V70R to have a black finish to the surround and the diagonals each side of the badge. I think similar to the grille on yours, Lee. (My black V70R will...

I am the first to admit that my post count since joining this illustrious forum has been…abysmal!!! That is not to say that I have been ignoring the on goings. I can say hand on heart the inspiration...
Nice "R". One of Hugh K's finest I see.
Looking forward to seeing how the tints look as I'm going to have mine done soon.

It would be remiss of me not to post on this thread after commenting on Lee's.
Your work on your car is an inspiration and reading through yours and the other V70R threads has given me...

I have been out of the Volvo forum scene for a while due to work and family commitments and haven't had time to do much to my own R. (Now sitting at 76k miles and still going strong!!)

Yep, should have been a nice simple thread.
Unfortunately it contained inaccuracies and information that had the potential to caused those less informed needless work and unneccessary expense.

Graeme. It's the difference between knowing and believing.
This might put it in perspective though.
Regarding the removal of expensive to replace trim, Lee advised;
and that from someone...
Lee, for what it's worth I was about to post the same advice but, anticipating the response, I didn't bother.
However having spent many years on the tools, IMHO you are correct to point it out as...
That's the plan Harvey, either that or the wife may find them on her T5.
Potholes!!! Don't get me started .....local Roads Authorities and the state of the roads Grrrrr. Seriously though,...
Thanks for all the replies.
Lots to take in and think about.
At the moment I'm looking at Dunlop Sport Maxx RT's, Continental Super Contact 5's and Vredestein Vorti's. However, I had Goodyear...
Craig, don't beat yourself up about the position 2 thing. The guy that looks after my V70's was the workshop foreman then service manager at the local Volvo dealership before starting his own (very...
New set of 18" Anthracite Pegs are on their way to replace the silver 17's on the V70 R. Can't wait!!!
Now just got to decide on which tyres to go for........... Hmmmm, P Zero Rosso's, Sport Maxx...
Yes, totally agree M-R-P with the finding of someone with Vida. I took mine to my auto electrician mate who has Vida and it was he who told me the CCM wasn't "speaking" to the main module. He...
I went through this six months ago because I didn't leave it 10 minutes before disconnecting the battery as Harvey correctly states.
Issue solved by a second hand unit with exactly the same part...
Happy New Year to you and yours.

Thanks guys, every days a school day. My reasoning was that every time I looked on line for a solution to the problem, that was the descriptor for the ECC....doh :slap:!!..CCM.....whatever, you know...
I'll bow to your superior knowledge James although rubber, with it's softer properties over polyurethane, is less likely to cause NVH although most modern cold pour polyurethane bushes behave OK....
Jim, are you talking about the CCM, the Central Control Module (located under the centre console) or the ECC, the Electronic Climate Control panel under the radio control unit in which the thermistor...
True but it depends what your looking for, performance or comfort. As I am sure this forum is read by all types of drivers, some of whom are not looking to drive their car at brake neck speed round...
