The guy used to have a really good reputation and believe it or not builds drag cars but I have had to redo so many jobs on the volvo, my delica and also my peugeot.
I wouldn't trust this other guy...

Yeah I thought so too but they had come undone on both sides. They were done last year by a garage that did a number of jobs that I have had to redo myself like my bottom arms, the guy had put the...

Ok just a quick update I changed the top spring mounts today for original volvo XC90 ones and all the knocks seemed to have gone now! Will have to give it a good run and see how it is but now I'm...

Well today I took off the top not on the strut tops so that I could investigate the top of the spring seat mounts as reading elsewhere it seems the rubber/metal spring seats are a common failure on...

Well as long as it is not pouring with rain I will try and get under it tomorrow and try the exhaust firstly.

I'll check it out tomorrow and have a look, I'm wondering if maybe one of the other parts may have failed even though they are fairly new. I'll report back.

Just a quick update really, I have had the front arb bushes replaced thanks to Shemtek Racing who did them for me and all seemed well. Shem noticed that the small bush on the gearbox mount was on its...

I am thinking that it has to be this Stribo but was just wondering if anyone had experienced this noise and if changing these bushes cured it, you know how it is though when you've spent a load of...

Just found this on You Tube and mine is a similar sound but maybe not quite as loud at the moment but getting louder as time goes on. The poster did not put up a solution to this so hopefully you...

This front suspension is driving me nuts. I know there has been loads of posts about the knocking P2 front ends but I have replaced most of the front suspension on my V70, the list is as follows.
...

That's what I was looking at when I noticed the line on the manifold, I have just put a new gasket and o-ring on the oil return pipe, there was a slight leak but a load of road grime, all cleaned off...

Thanks guys, I just noticed it earlier and thought the worst like you do, lol.
I'll have to try and get to the nuts and give them a tighten, have to wait for it to stop p%$$ing down with rain...

As the title says, this is a picture I tool from the bottom of my exhaust manifold. I do seem to get a blowing when the engine is cold but have had people look at it including the company that fitted...

Mine is a 2001 T5 Manual with 160k on the clock. Fuel computer is pretty darn close to actually consumption. I get around 20-24mpg around town and usually about 28-34mpg on a run at 70-85mph on...

Glad you got it all sorted mate for not too much cash, I know what you've had to pay is a blow to the wallet but still about a quarter of what you thought it might have been, be a bonus if the AA...

I know Graeme, I normally do everything myself but I know this guy pretty well and he always seems to be a good mechanic but I have had a big falling out with him over this and I got my money back...

I know laughable isn't it. I don't trust garages often. I am going to see how these meyle arms go.

The rear bushes totally fell apart and the front bushes were a bit better but started to wear also. I had a garage replace the rear bushes in the arms for me with normal rubber ones but they fitted...

These were PPS and total crap in my opinion, these were only on the car for a very short time, less than 1000 miles I think.

They are looking real good mate, I am going to have to tackle doing mine too.

I've got the same problem, Volvo want over £400 for one, I got one from Parts4Less for £170 delivered a few months ago when they had a sale on. Same parts numbers as what's on mine so an original...

Thanks :B_thumb:

Just wondering if anything has replaced a brake servo themselves and could offer any advice to doing this. I know that you have to drop the subframe down a few inches to enable you to get the...

Just thought that i would people know that i have been having loads of problems over the past few months with my 2000 T5 with the message ABS Service Required and STC Service Required messages. I...

Sometimes they bond a piece of wood to the roof metal and then screw to that. I have had it done on a couple cars in the past, better than just screwing to the headlining from otherside as some cars...
