    Yeah, I've never been keen on the 501 bulb fittings anywhere on the P2's.

    Try to have them all as LED lights, the LEDs are usually brighter & safer than standard 501s.

    Any 850 5 stud, S70 5 stud, P1 V70 or P1 C70 wheels will work.

    Normally it's a 5x108 pdc with a 65.1mm centre bore.

    Often Volvo alloys can appear on eBay under very shakey listings. Try looking...

    Often it's one code that can trigger another in a kind of cascade of faults.

    Could be clutch related, or maybe the aux belt has been slipping?

    Any other alternatives will be turbo related & could be very bad. :-(

    I agree with what others have said about the apex springs being a bit unforgiving, but my car does well when it's chucked about. Combined with...

    You can get 16" versions of the comet wheels that used to be fitted to the V70r & some C70's.

    The name is meteor I think, but the looks are pretty much the same.

    It sounds very like a IC air leak to me.

    My return hose kept popping off & the car would lumpy idle & then die.

    Check all the IC pipes to check for a leak or a disconnected pipe.

    Yeah, there's vacuum, but the diaphragm seals in boosted gasses & releases them when the car comes off boost. So it sounds like a hiss outside of all other normal sounds. It may also be impacting...

    Could be a leak in the recirculating valve on the turbo.

    Basically your BOVs diaphragm has sprung a hole & it's probably letting gasses escape.

    302mm (305mm I thought) is 16" minimum,
