Hi all,
can anyone recommend pads for the std big brembos on these. Std stuff is pads and the brembo pads that come with the crossdrilled (but otherwise std) brake disc aren't much better when...

Hi all,

For a Volvo - that is very "Sexual" (if you watch Monky London ;)).
fyi Nm to ft/lbs is 368.8. Strangely exactly the same as mine. I'm lagging behind a tad on power, but will get both moved up a...
Hi Lee, you must do list and pic you sent me on the 3" DP (200 cell), got me thinking I need one and few last bits so have all bolts on I can for the engine (bar turbo). Talking to Shem now.
Can...
OK Lee will try to get to it over next day or so (scan with Vida).
Didn't someone on here say the relay for this was no longer there for our cars.
Been behaving itself fairly ok last 6 months,...
Hi All,
I have this issue for the 3rd time now on my R! First time the ac juice was found to be low (probably not topped up years pre me buying - bought a whole thermostat housing but never fitted...
Hi Lee.
when you put it like that, yep it is a reliable car....
I do seem to be just waiting for the next electrical issue though.
Anyway, started it up to come home from work tonight, all...
I asked this and as per Lee saying, I just did the original arms with the Polybushed (on the bottom arms) and replaced one top ball joint as that was out of spec at MOT as was play in lower arms.

Been a while.
Quick update.
Don't Buy an V70R.
Since last post.
1. Mid summer sometime, towing car to Anglesey for a race, once there, go out for the evening to Holyhead (Christ what a...
Just did quick Google to see what is out in the market place for P2 V70R's.
Christ they are ALL Auto's (eek). Autotrader, Gumtree, Ebay. Not one Manual! Odd, I know they did not make or imported...
Be interesting to see what weight you could get it too. 1300kg?
I agree with Don, very odd choice for a track car.
I would never think or taking my tweaked R on track, just to massive. The weight these thing carry would just murder most bits, and that’s before...
Defo, feels more like a new / more modern car. Think it will be alot more noticeable at the front, but rear will get done (age catching up with it more than miles on bushes me thinks), just turned...
Above done now and car is transformed! So much better on all surfaces.
Doing the back on list now, but not for a while, car is spot on for now.
Just been sick in my mouth (a bit) - Barf.
Had a minor leak on gearbox to transfer box fixed last week. The seal from Volvo was 40 quid! Some mark-up on that!
Getting the bottom A arms poly bushed (as deemed on the wonky side at recent...
Thanks Lee, piling the miles on it over last few weeks

Brands both days next weekend at Speedfest.
Scrapping noise turned out to be nothing - just the helper donuts I have in the back springs (to stop back dropping when towing and with loads of stuff in boot), just catching the mid-point of the...
Minor scrapping noise at low speed now (took front wheels of and nothing), will have to get it looked at by people I trust asap.
Fans just started being on all the time. Bought whole Thermostat...
At Snetterton for first race of the year.32338
Had a guy come up to me when tinkering in pits way more interested in the R than any race cars.
Walks up when drivers door open going, "Whoa and...
It is not such a pain as once driven off, unless into town or through area with lights chases are you will not use first again till it is warm.
Car feel great now, those new tyres turn off the dsc...
Had another cracked rim repaired! Did look into getting two fully refurbed ones from States, but was coming in at 850+ landed duty / tax paid! and not paying 600 quid to Volvo!
Very nice job...
Are you and Lee not the same person! :)
I am noticing that the gears are a bit more mechanical / knotchy (like an old Italian car!) when cold (especially first), this must be down to the alternative fluid now in it. After 10 mins though,...
Drove in to work today to test it out. The much lower might point point took a few miles to get used to.
Slightly sharper take up when feeding it in. You sort of feel the gears more when swapping...
I was glad to get the weird cold start high idle thing turned off (that emission cat warming thing for 30 odd sec's, but at the same time get the actual idle upped a bit). Don't want to pissed my...
