Fantastic. Mine are in desperate need.
FFS...
fat intercooler
AEM Meth injection, hilarious fun
Correctly installed (by TW) Gripper! (Funny how all of us with them put it top of the list)
In no particular order:
VAG intermittent wiper relay mod
V70 washer jets
New shocks and spring...
The KU AP clutch is very nice, feels like stock.
So clean and tidy!
If she was mine I'd get some caravan wheel chocks to save the tyres and a nice breathable fitted cover.
I use a 'stormforce' car cover for my 855. Quite expensive but fits very well and made to last. Lots of people sell the same product so worth shopping around. Here's one:

T5's run bloody hot. Drove mine for the first time for weeks the other day, went up the road and back again just gently breaking in some brake discs. The engine bay was roasting when I got back.

A slightly predictable response! ;)
I was looking briefly a few years ago. Then I found my silver 855 T5 and the inline 5 turbo thirst was quenched (and some).
V70R is a Volvo estate with the running costs of a super car was how it...
A 0.5L of fluid should be a enough for a quick bleed and replace. To be on the safe side I'd go for 1L.
Just got 2 bottles (1L) of RBF600 off Ebay for £24.95 delivered. Seller is '...
Those discs do look nice.
I've never got on with any EBC pads on my Volvos. Greens came with 850 AP kits originally, fine on a light weight Saxo but not good on a battleship. I found reds no...
My D5 but you get the idea.

So you run an air filter that is supposed to be oiled without oil... what do you think the oil does?
Keep with the standard air filter and change it more often. My ITG panel filter is sat cleaned on the shelf ready to go but I feel no increase in power using it. (MTE V70 D5)
his thread has taken me back in time, I thought for a minute the old crowd had returned.
Much easier to get a dark dash top from someone breaking a car if an older 850 or P1. If P2 then stick...
The adaptor comes in the box, plug'n'play. Yes you keep the standard oil pressure sensor and therefore the dash display.
Stack oil pressure gauge in bar. Comes with everything needed to install. A few people run a dual electronic pressure and temperature gauge which are quite smart but seem to remember they can be a...
The roads of Calcutta are better than affluent Bath!
Having just returned from the Nurburgring it was amazing how good the German roads are. The tarmac seems to be of a finer grade (not as...
When a good working system is so capable why would you want to do this and not just replace the front shocks with OEM Monroe?
This list is offensive to my OCD. Surely the lowest mileage R should be at the top of the list; topest being bestest? :ready2go:
I buy Bosch parts from http://www.buycarparts.co.uk/ try and pay with PayPal as their credit card process is weird I guess due to being victims of online fraud.
Leads from PartsForVolvo,...
Walbro is a simple fit into the cage, can't remember which one you need though, give it a Google. Just be aware there are lots of chinese copies about. If it's too cheap it probably is too good to...
At 20 years old and I'm guessing 150000+ miles a good stage 0, a set of standard Sachs/Boge/Bilstein/Koni shocks and Eibach springs combined with new top mounts would transform her.
A rear IPD...
Invest in some ear plugs or avoid driving at 60mph ;)
