I too am not much of a car washer! My wheels are permanently filthy and theres moss on the window rubbers. I have a young family and busy life and spending hours washing the car doesn't go down well!

I've got Meyle drop links front and back on my V70, so I would expect they do them for the R. Well worth getting hold of.

Dodgy angle gear failure alert!!

I'd like to see some pics of Jardon's T5 - same vintage as mine but I bet a lot fitter and quicker!!

True enough. A bit of sarcasm never hurt anyone!

They tend to bite quite high up. I replaced mine at about 140k, did the slave cylinder at the same time. Biting point was identical once the new clutch assembly was in.

I got a set a few years back - great looking wheels but tend to corrode and really easy to kerb (my Dear...) but worth fitting.

Presume yours is a manual? If so, then it's down to your two feet and a bit of co-ordination!!

I put a genuine Volvo T5 clutch unit and slave cylinder in mine at approx 150,000 miles. Also did the rear main seal on the crank which is worth it if you are dragging the clutch out.

That bloody iPhone keyboard - I meant 'out' there. Not 'put' there.

Yep, really fancy that. Shame I can't fund it at the mo. There is a manual V70R put there for me. In a decent colour...

Last time I started this thread it ended in floods of tears and disappointment!

I am still toying with the idea of 'making my own P3 T5' by changing the turbo remap etc on the 2.5 LPT engined version. They aren't too expensive now and you can still get one with three pedals, so...

I sold my seven seats and converted it back to a 5. Now the lads are getting bigger, I wish I'd have kept it!

I think she's Eastern European...

My new car delivered yesterday...

Think I might just buy a mirror glass - reckon the heater element has gone.

N/S mirror not clearing when the heater is on. O/S is fine - presume they are on the same circuit? Any ideas?

I even toyed with importing a 2.0 turbo Jap spec Legacy wagon, but the interior and comfort isn't that great, I don't own a baseball cap and the fuel economy makes a T5 look frugal...

Very jealous! I have thought long and hard about my next car and the requirements are:

1. Big estate - no compromise on this, so it's a V70, E class wagon or Audi A6
2. Four wheel drive - fed up...

This thread is as popular as a turd in a swimming pool...

Me too! Just worried about that angle gear failure...

The heater matrix went in my V70 classic; I understand that its a known weak point with these cars. I now have a slight 'sicky' coolant smell when I turn the heater on in my P2 and suspect that the...
