Hello anyone who knows about these things.

I have a 1997 V70R AWD, much loved and cherished, 250k miles, well looked after. Yes spent a small fortune over the years but love it to bits. However,...

Good evening all

Any advice please gratefully received

Brakes and disks...

I am in the lucky position of owning a1997 V70R AWD, bought maybe 7 years ago with 140k on clock and full service history. Now at 240k, had a lot of money spent on it.
a) If you put a set of tyres...

An interesting question. Firstly there appears to be no difference between trip computer mpg and old fashioned fill to top calculation. Have 2 volvo 1997 V70R's, one awd, both 200+ k miles and...

Does AWD work?
What has been done to it, heater, air con, suspension
Colour, how original

They arent going for alot these days, even much loved ones, because if they arent right cost a fortune...

How about Camskill tyres, seem to have plenty of tyres in size you wanted

yes they will, I run 16 snow tyres, 205 x 50 vredestein, with RUD snow chains, work fine on V70R.

did both of my r's last year with these, cant see the difference from ovlov standard. Transormed ride

yep, trying to sort. URl off web site seems better, first time laoded piccy, so bear with me

With all this snow around, how are the photographers doing?

V70R, snow and ice tyres, about 6 inches earlier this week.

there is another non return valve at rear in quarterlight area, worth checking that one as well

you need to get the code read by dealer who tell you whats wrong

When I had to replace recently volvo main dealer was cheaper than halfords and quick fit

I just bust mine, bought from dealer for about 30 inc vat. Substantially better than the factory originals. The old ones fold and crack in time it seems. Quiet a puzzle to reassemble, careful you...

I run 302's with 16 inch snow winter tyres ok

accept mileaometer not quiet right ( marginal)

I run 45 on mine, can damage wheel rims but in itself no probem with AWD, make sure spare right dimension

We were pulled over by police on M1 with similar arrangement. Very interested in car, but now use light board. Lights have to be unobscured!

Diesel oil has more detergent in, but viscosity is what matters. However agree with Abdul thats not what was paid for and it should be changed

I know tht £500 IS A LOAD OF DOSH, but having just had to replace similar, took advice and was told that reconditioned ones dont last. Volvo redo in factory to original spec and last 100,000 miles....
