That is actually very nice.
Our 854 has gone through the same amount in about a month, lol. :ashamed:
Both are the same thickness when hot, the 5 is a lot thinner when cold.
:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:
I use the same as you do, Helix Ultra 5w40 but the tractor version :B_blite:
Kind of rather depends what car you have!
Turbo = 5w40 Fully Synth
Non Turbo = 10w40 Semi Synth
IMO.
I use a car cover - no problem provided you get a decent one with a fleece style lining rather than a cheapy £50 jobbie from Halfrauds.

Seems to have got better by about 10% since the remap - but its too early to really give any accurate indications yet.
Most of my driving is reasonably short trips sub 10 miles and if I don't do...
I've not tried any of them, so can't really give a good reccomendation from the list you've given.
I would say though, that out of the tyres I've tried - the Continental SportContact 2's are good...
Andy, how easy was it to fit?
I'm getting new front discs/pads for my D5. I thought I may as well upgrade to the slightly larger brakes (305mm) found on the petrol turbo models as its only a few quid extra.
Seems the most...
I :smlove2: the V50 :)
Looking on VADIS, it seems that there are two part numbers - one is for the LHS and the other RHS.
9485307 - LHS Police Brake Kit
9485308 - RHS Police Brake Kit
The brake kit looks like it...
I'd be interested too.
Can you give an indication of cost vs. the usual 305mm discs? I see VADIS has a seperate entry for "police discs & pads" but it says it requires a minimum of a 17" wheel for...
I kept faffing around for ages, stop thinking about it and book it in :Handshake
Yes the spaceball can be retrofitted... someone on here has done it before and included a 'step by step', if it wasn't on here it might have been on the VOC, but I'm pretty sure it was here!!
If I remove my D5 badge and finally get my chrome tailpipe fitted, no one will know I'm a tight-arsed diseasel driver... until I start it up!
hmmm
I like the tints!!
Reckon we could get a group buy? LOL.
I've emailed Adam, but if I don't get a response before I'm up there I'll ask then too!
I'm thinking about getting a V70 plate for the repacement for the S60. ;)
Cheers mate, you're a star! :band:
Groovy.
Can you quote me for parts 1-4?
(You work for Volvo parts dept, don't you? Or have I got you confused with someone else!)
:Handshake
What do I need to do the upgrade to 305mm from my 286mm brakes on my S60 D5?
My pads are nearing the end of their useful life and my discs won't be far behind them, so might as well get them done...
Right, well. It's been a week since I spoke to Adrian Flux, and the documents the guy said he'd put in the post for me first class still haven't turned up so if they can't be bothered to post out...

I got my Continentals from www.mytyres.co.uk
I have the 286mm brakes, and the Columbas clear no problems. (As do 15" steels - JUST!) If you went with the 305mm brakes (V70 T5 standard fit) you'd...
