To be honest the ride is a lot better than i expected, and it has certainly tightened the car up a bit, the old suspension looked to be 20 years old, and very floaty. For the price of the coilovers,...

Not updated this in a while, cars now MOT'd and on the road. Going great apart from blowing off a boost pipe on a dual carriage way. Stuck some coilovers on her and she handles 9x better!

OK so done a full stage 0 service on her, discs on the front done ill do the rears tomorrow! paint all the calipers black not a fan of the red. Stick a belt on and then see about getting an MOT done....

Bloody hell, hope you were ok! such a shame about the car it looked like a really good example :worried:

He states in the add that CD models were top specced, is that true? if so ill be ecstatic that i dont have a mid range model :mischievo luxury and class for me it seems!

Can't help you on vacum pipes, but if they are perished I'd change them. Your jolt have you checked the top engine brace/mount I had that problem on my 850

Whos said i had my trousers on! :saythat:

Yep! just need to shift some of my other cars on now to free up the funds to do so :D

Tonight i've bought myself a manual, dark blue, 1997 V70 t5, It has 170k on it & needs some work. But i got it cheap, really cheap :mischievo

It gets delivered tomorrow and ill get a proper look...

I think ive just found the love of my life :smileypul also is that second photo at the heritage museum in gaydon? was down there last summer with my 850 parked on the grass too :haha:

General consensus is avoid like the plague, I'll perhaps keep looking for a good R with Mot and history.
