@V70 Graham - have you got a dedicated thread for the HID install yet?

ditto, I have a great cheap site for vinyl making and a mate with an a3 cutter =)

@stevemo - that looks ace! Can I get a copy of the file you used to make that up?

Hello jolly souls,

I'm on the hunt for the earthing points under the front seats in my 52 plate V70. The thought here being that the haynes manual I have says that they are the nearest earthing...

Turns out only the one was a problem and that was replaced with a short day's worth of work at a company called MB Fuels in Eastleigh. Good lads and helpful too. To put it in perspective Snows:...

That's a spring in there that's gone a-wandering - if you've got the inclination you can fix that and it will stay where it should - something else that's on my todo list

Just spoken to the lads at MB Fuel (http://www.mbfuel.co.uk/contact.htm) and they were surprised at the idea that _all_ of the injectors would need replacing (I'm with them there). The attractive...

That was my v40...then someone ran in to me and wrote it off less than 4 weeks later

Jimka has the right idea - I picked up my winters a few years back and they get swapped out every year around nov/dec and my black round circles get put back on once the temps are soundly about...

What he said...:splat:

Bad news - after a string of "no starts" I dropped it off to Volvo in Hamworthy - diagnostics back this morning are that the injectors are fubar *sob* and losing pressure. I have had an astronomical...

Sorry mate - totally missed your reply, not getting notifications for some reason; I'll worry about it later. My current plan, having spoken to the helpful chaps people here and the TerraClean lad...

Conveniently I took pictures when I had my P2 V70 bumper off - take a nosey - (http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?46548-V70-HOWTO-Fix-a-foggy&p=536461&highlight=#post536461)

The car runs sweet as a nut for the rest of the day. Stop and start also no problem. Cold start makes for an unhappy Volvo. I know the plugs are good so I'll go on a relay hunt later and see what...

Helpful lads, really professional - bit out of the way (heathrow) and while he suggested getting the terraclean done he thought testing the glo-plug voltages and the relay for them first. Does...

Just a random addition - I've seen M-R-P's interior LED mods - their ace - really smart and worth the time to be sure!

Afternoon all; it's been a while (sorry about that) life gets in the way sometimes.

So the V70 is back to being smooth and a joy to drive around after getting all the drop links replaced along...

Sounds like an electrical issue. Sadly I am still hunting for the right relay to do the job. If you get there before me; let me know will you =)

What he said; I'd be inclined to start higher (different car) and go up rather than try an eek every drop out of what you have unless you _really_ love your car =)

My "Assistant" is in a different country at the moment so I was determined to get this sorted without even more limbs needed. Driving in a blizzard with a broken foggy focuses the mind a little to...

What happens when you have the driver's door open and you push the magic "lock" button - does everything lock then unlock or does it do nothing (try with the key at position I as well) - join the...

So, having seen excellent posts here (and elsewhere...but we don't talk of such things) I decided to get my phone dirty and take pictures while working on my car this weekend for two projects

Fix...

Did that - the car hadn't "seen" my key fob for quite some time so while the problem isn't worse I do now have <whinge>alarm service needed</whinge> from the info system...

...ho hum

A daring first post - central locking on my V70 is having a party (without me I might add) and after M-R-P got me on the forum I've lurked for long enough - question time oh oracles of truth - sanity...

Thank you very much for the awesome linky - I was all keen on getting the driver's side foggy replaced this weekend then was gobsmacked at how much needs attacking to get to it (read: remove the...
