    Fixing someone else's mistake aka help!

    I'm in a bit of a sticky situation with my T5 as it was (past tense) having a manual gearbox and new engine fitted by someone who has since given up.

    I'm left with a car that has had half a job...

    It sounds like a bit of a ballache given it's coil on plug etc and potentially different engine mounts.

    I'll find a solution, thanks for the heads up on the engine.

    Engine Codes/Compatibility

    I will start out by saying I feel like a bit of a prat as I seemingly haven't done all of my homework (story of my life) so I will take any good-natured piss taking in my stride.

    Central locking

    So, two things.

    1. Unless I'm missing something there isn't a button in my T5 that operates the central locking. I have to open my door to unlock the car if I've stopped to pick someone up. Can I...

    This is going into my 850 T5. Jamie at PFS seemed to think there isn't any need for modifications so I'm happy with that.

    Thanks for the replies chaps.

    do88 Intercooler Owners

    Evening all.

    Those of you who have bought and fitted the do88 intercooler themselves, does it fit right in like a Volvo spec unit or is there any extra fettling required?

    Thanks!

    My pcv has only just recently been replaced so I'm hoping it's just come loose somehow. That would also explain the warning light that won't go away.

    My car is doing pheasant impressions....

    This may sound like a bit of a piss take but I've noticed my T5 makes a strange whistling/warbling sound, quite similar to a pheasant, when you blip the throttle when cold.

    Fair enough.

    I suppose the logic with the Castrol 15w 40 is it's slightly thicker so will give a better pressure on high mileage engines where wear has increased tolerances etc.
