I personally never use an engine flush. If it is designed to remove the sludge then it will no doubt also break down the oil too which, when running on idle for 20 mins can't be good for the engine....

Hi Waxworks,

Yes, these cars don't have a door plunger to sense when it's open or closed. Instead they have a microswitch within the lock mechanism.

I believe the only cure is replacing the...

Nah, if I can find 'em you're welcome to one. Gotta find 'em first though LOL - they're somewhere in the study - along with everything else that "might be useful one day"!

Watch this space - I'll...

I have some actual moose stickers somewhere. Would that be better than hand drawn or is there a specific reason why it needs to be hand drawn?

I could search for 'em and post one to you if you...

Grip the rod in a vice and turn the pin anti colckwise. A bit of chamois leather between mole grips and pin helps to grip the old pin too. And it prevents damage to the original pins should you wish...

Are you taking into account the nut on the solid copper brake pipe too?

The nuts on the flexi hose will be the same at each end but the one on the copper pipe will be different.

Like racer, I...

No, unless the original pin is stuck so hard that the connector between pin and lock becomes disconnected when you try to unscrew it.

Nice little mod but as Viking says, if you want them to fit...

Hi pzorb,

1. Mixing 4 and 5.1 isn't an issue. Mixing 4 and 5 is. Therefore it's not essential to flush out the entire system but it is obviously preferable so that you have fresh fluid throughout...

Yes, they should unscrew anti clockwise. If they're stuck too hard you'll probably need to take the door card off anyway because the metal connector to the lock may pop off when you apply force to...

T5 is the engine and doesn't really have anything to do with the spec. The spec is dictated by the particular model. For example, no designation is basic, S has a few added bits, SE has more still...

Hi 850south.

I *think* the 2.5 turbo is 197 bhp. It's a Light Pressure Turbo engine.

Not sure why the 2.5 wasn't fitted to the T5, probably something to do with compression - the 2.3 can...

Here you go Micky

I have no idea what they're like but it's a starting point. Any decent Auto Audio shop should be able to get one for you.
...

Ahhhhhh, OK, so just on the first time start up right? LOL, here's me thinking what a ball ache that'd be every morning! DUH! LOL.

It's usually not worth mapping naturally aspirated cars as most of the mapping is to do with altering the boost and stuff. Unless the engine is de-tuned at the factory like the 140 bhp 2.4 engine...

It'll more likely be a data entry error with DVLA.

Go into a Volvo dealer and ask 'em to check on their computer. They may even be able to give you a print out of the original order.

My V70 isn't even an S, it's just a V70 T5 but the original...

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

As a starting point you could see if anyone wants to buy your AP brakes (with a swap for their brakes if you don't have the originals) and suspension (again with a...

LOL, you'd have no boot space left!

Have to seen the size of the standard turbo? It's teeny. There's no lag though but they do run out of steam very early in the rev range. A twin turbo version...

Yes, all mounts are the same and the third seat row is compatible with both the 855 and V70 P1.

It's an easy enough job but I couldn't talk through it from memory - I'd have to actually have the bits in front of me to fit them.

Took me half an hour to remove from my car and then about 45...

On the saloon there are indeed two types - with and without spoiler. This is because the with spoiler ones need to lift and support more weight (which always confused me because a spoiler doesn't...

I don't know - it looks like it but they rock!

I bet they cost a fortune!

I'd only chrome them if you're getting them done professionally and even then I'd think twice. DIY silver spray paint will look crap IMHO.

The other alternative is to get them body coloured by a...

Rich,

Your first port of call would be to get the fault codes read - the lights indicate that a fault code will be stored in the ECU. These should give a good pointer as to where to start.

If...

If it wasn't for the fact that the nut is in the sump I'd suggest a socket one size smaller and a mallet. However, you don't want to know a great big hole in the sump.

The only thing I can think...
