    My S60 D5 (163) shows an average of around 54mpg combined on the computer. Even if it were 10mpg too optimistic, I'd be looking at 44mpg and I absolutely rev the guts off it all the time.

    The 163 euro 3 system is a good option, there's no DPF to clog up and they can map to 200bhp easily and if not 225 with a good map. Any more than that and you run a higher risk of popping the...

    Correct, about £250 - £300 cheaper in my case (as quoted by Powerflow), and yes I think that is over priced but that was the deal.

    The exhaust exit was swapped to the n/s because the car was originally fitted with two silencers, the tail pipe being fitted to the right hand silencer of course. The exhaust gases originally came in...

    Have you got a Sports Cat fitted? I'd recommend one having had one fitted to my V70R (1988), it's like having a Decat but still legally compliant with the emissions regulations.

    Car looks great...

    Yes certainly. The power delivery seems smoother, the throttle response seems more 'instant' and the car feels generally more stable around the bends and when accelerating. It made a massive...

    As I said (the first time?), the Polybush on a Diesel can cause vibration but the benefits sometimes outweigh the niggles. A softer powerflex bushing is typically recommended on a Diesel.

    Yep, only a LP valve as I discovered is also the case on the V70 P1 as well.

    Sad sight seeing a car getting scrapped but at least some of the parts have lived on in other cars. The two nearside doors are now happily sitting on my V70R, many thanks for those!

    Need a remap for my 1998 V70R (Auto) now. Thought about the RICA route or if someone has a RICA map on an ECU that will fit straight on, no messing about.

    Basically you've hit the nail on the head in many ways. I'd rather have something to work on than buy something 'straight' or 'ready made' as it takes the fun out of owning the car but also it makes...

    I didn't go out looking for an R intentionally, this one came up on a private sale and wasn't advertised, I was given first refusal on it and actually 'invited' to buy it.

    No, different car as far as I know. I was actually 'invited' to buy this one privately by a lady who works with my Girlfriend and as soon as I saw it I thought "I've gotta have it!".

    I actually like the car over my 2001 T5. What I can't believe is how much detail and spec went in to the car for a Phase 1 V70 and I didn't realise it had a 6 CD Autochanger in back until Acidicdavey...
