Congrats on picking her up, must have been a nice drive back!

6th does good give good MPG on the M-ways, makes a nice cruising gear.

Agree with the stereo comment, I thought it really needed...

Drop me an e-mail or pm through here or ebay and we can talk some more. I am only 40 minutes from Bluewater, so not to far from you.

Cheers.

Shameless plug...

Hi KPB, The S60 and V70 T5 models with 4C only come with the two modes, C is Continuous and S is Sport. C will try and make it as comfortable as it can, but will alter and adjust as you drive, so as...

Ahh the great later spec 2.4 T5 models, I have had two now, fantastic engine, so much torque low down compared to the 2.3 and more top end power due to the KKK turbo from the R, it really is a...

Have a read of some of Autocar and EVO's tyre tests

Have you thought about a tuning box? Plenty out there for the 2.5 TDi lump, should take it to 170 ish BHP and about 250 lbft.

You can probably pick them up for under £200 now for older models....

Have to agree, ARB's are a great addition to firm the car up and reduce body roll. Eibach springs are good too if you want to lower it a little.

FSD's can be too firm for some, while others love...

BUT and a very big but, RICA has many agents in the U.K each one on my understanding, buys the map at a set price and sells on with some profit, so there are varying degrees of negotiating that can...

I would not like to comment...

Back to the OP's thread...

Good post, Just to add, a remap is a piece of software and not a product, it has no import costs or delivery costs, so why does the price alter depending on the Euro or Krona, we are not talking...

Without a doubt, if you are going to go down this route, then look for a 2.4 T5 unit from the S60/V70 2005 onwards models. A few people have changed their S60R engines for this unit, all the best...

According to a member on here the price of a MTE generic remap from Kalmar Union with the Softloader product will be £600 soon.

Glad you did not pay that, as it is day light robbery!

And that is your choice that everyone is entitled to make.

Read below what a £600 minimum custom MTE remap can do. Google MTE's work and you will find just as many problems as there has been with RICA or HLM. Part of tuning i'm afraid.

It seems the...

£600 Bloody heck, So that is for a generic remap, not custom as we all know custom work when he is ever in the U.K is extra on top, and you get to keep the delivery device, all be it one that does...

WOW what a read, from HLM remaps, to Rica remaps, to MTE remaps, to Incorrectly fitted coil springs, to does he or does he not pay tax on his extra out of hours work and does he have Insurance to...

After doing some research, it appears there was a 5 speed auto box, but not till late 2001/2002. If the autobox shows L/2/3/4 on the panel then it is a 5 speed box, so I think! The 4 Speed autos just...

My old V70 MTE T5 used to do 60-100 in 5.9 seconds along the mad mile. This was just using 3rd only. In gear flexability was awesome. 2nd through 3rd 60-100 it was slower, as tested by IRF and I in...

Excellent figures, very very impressive.

Is your V70 an Auto? What is different about your 19T hybrid. Great setup you have.

T5 is going fine, not covering many miles in it at the moment, just had the steering rack replaced, common fault suffering from unequal pressure.

Hi All

As per the title, does the Original C70 T5 come with a 4 or 5 speed Automatic gearbox and is there anything to look out on either?

Hi All

I am thinking of changing back from my Eibach / Koni FSD setup to a standard setup.

Does anyone know the options / Part Numbers for Volvo S60 T5's and maybe D5's.

I am struggling...

Not wanting to stoke the fire, but the same has happened to me.

Unfortunately we all know who these people are and what type of person they are, bedroom keyboard warriors at their very best with...

Sorry to hear about the car, hope you get it sorted a.s.a.p

Glad you had a good trip to the ring, still on my to do list!
