The AWD systems are perfectly reliable when well maintained

AWD models are now approx. 15 years old with mileage well over 100k

There are plentiful supplies of good used parts available
...

use the few mm of play to push it back in and jerk it out very quickly and sharply

I searched for a month or so for a replacement box when my phase iii v70 r awd auto box gave up

Closest I got was a company in south scotland somewhere - £1900 to repair but they would only...

Is this the R that was bought from Aberdeen 1 or 2 owners ago?

Looks like I dodged a bullet! I even offered 1.5 times his asking price to get it but he had already promised it to someone else

Just so you know, they don't put any money in your PayPal account. They send you a fake e-mail saying that £xxxx has just gone in your account. They just hope you dont log into paypal and realise.

Interesting stuff!

So would it be about being different and having a V8 soundtrack rather than power or reliability?

I've always liked the idea of fitting a different engine to a car. It would...

What power will you expect to run with the V8 in your 940 and how much do you expect it to cost?

What will be needed...

Engine, gearbox, prop, wiring, pipework, ...?

I am intrigued by your choice of engine. What do you think the pros and cons are of converting to the V8 as opposed to keeping with the B230?

I am in the midst of removing an engine from a V70. I've removed them before but only when breaking, this one is being removed to be repaired.

Can anyone tell me does the loom unplug anywhere...

What does it owe you?

Is this the pink AWD from on here a while back?

I spent 3 years searching for a set of Polaris wheels and it was by chance that they were near pristine with brand new tyres on!

You aren't going to get a good set for £200 try trebling it then...

Volvo have caught another one!

Sorry - you're right!

This modification is without doubt the best modification you can do to your car. Everyone should buy one!

When did I say you were imagining things? What I actually said...

I think the people that are giving glowing reports of a huge difference have suspension or handling issues that the brace is hiding.

If this was such a fantastic piece of kit for what is...

The balance is slowly tipping!

If everybody was honest, they would admit that a front strut brace alone is nothing more than an expensive bit of bling!
