Having spent over £1,000 having the handbrake system rebuilt on my V70 in April this year, I would suggest very strongly that you have the whole system stripped down and looked at. The problem with...

If memory serves, Niles did a complete installation guide including pics. It may have been lost when all fell over, but he may have held a copy of the thread. It's worth an ask.

I use Castrol Edge Sport 0W40 in mine and change at approx 5k. Also, I flush the system with something like Wynn's as this keeps the PCV as clear as poss. These recommendations came from the garage...

The minimum requirement for rear fog lights is one. Some makes have two but neither is illegal. Also, it is not illegal to retrofit a second foglight so long as it is fitted exactly opposite the...

Dear Shrek,
This is a common fault. The solenoid on the tailgate lock fails and won't release the catch. I'm sure Tomcat mentioned this a short while ago but I can't find the link. If I'm wrong,...

Shaun850,
Thanks for that pic as I have toying with the idea of chrome V70 P1 handles. Your pic has persuaded me to go for matching black.

Dear dant5,

Did a price comparison approx 6mths ago between Volvo main dealer and Halfords. Guess who was cheaper! Much to my amazement, Lipscombs, volvo main dealer.

This may also help. I spoke to Ilexa some months ago and virtually no one does anything for the Motronic 4.3 system. Mac tools can be configured but the price is stupid.
Yesterday, my Lambda light...

Dear Torch,
I believe that Lewis drives a tiptronic gearbox on the track, which is an electronic box with a clutch but no pedal to depress.
As for the original thread, having driven both types for...

You don't specify the location of these 'o' rings and, after reading the rest of your post, I don't think that they should concern you. What should concern you IMO is that you have a pressurised...

I ordered mine on the strength of that previous post and fitted them in about 1 1/2 hours. They are a very good fit and I do recommend them. Even my 27 year old daughter was impressed and that is...
