I wouldn't worry about it they "all do that sir". My 850 is the same and mechanically there is nothing wrong with it. It's a combination of low body stiffness and I suspect to improve crash they...

It's well worth doing as the standard 850 head unit is a bit old skoll now. Bluetooth and iPod dock are very very good!
I've posted this before but it was just before the forum problems.
Have a look at my latest mod. Got the headunit from a bloke at work for £100 and no it wasn't nicked. I now have CD, DVD,...
TTTAAASSSTTTEEEYYYY!!! :B_steerin
Hi Niles if you have had this done I'd be very interested in any pictures you have of it installed and obviously feedback from yourself.
I've been thinking about this for my car but as discussed...
That is a seriously well prepared car. My mate has an amazon so the link went straight to him. I suggested selling his first born to be able to affor the upgrade but he didn't want to for some...
Grill looks good mate, gives a sporting touch without being too OTT.
I'm not gay or anything but nice pipes, woof!
:biggrin:
A U T O , M A N U A L FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!! :troutslap
A pillar pod looks cool, what are the guages, oil, turbo and water?
It's an automatic FEAD belt tensioner. Check the Haynes book of lies but I suspect it's a bitch to change. Need to keep them in good working order though....
Get the new 2.3 zetec cosworth tuned. Sod the extension, hang the mortgage just give me more power :-)
250bhp, you can never have enough!!!!!! :mischievo :firedevil
90% of everyday situations auto is best. Manual is good as a drivers car but (contravercial) Volvo's aren't really drivers cars.
Get a decent 850 or V70 auto. Give it a bit more power then save...
Question, why does the suspension settle. This would impley the springs are plastically deforming whihc they should never do. If any setteling occurs it should be in the bushes but this should only...
Ditto!:)
Bigger brake do give better stopping power its a simple force x distance equation. Obviously depandant on other factors such as fluid, pad material etc.
However everything being equal bigger...
There is fairly large tolerance on these things and if the car is tuned I'd go for the 87 deg one. Day to day it won't make much differance but when you are thrashing it you want as much cooling as...
Good info guys, cheers.
I'm running 225/45/17" so need to be a bit carefull but I'm sure it will be fine :-)
Interesting to hear Mikey, definately no lower. I was sure the R's were lower....
Wright, the poly bushes on the LCA's (lower control arms) are better than the strutt brace in terms of sharpening...
Cheer wright. Anyone else with recomendations...
Budget not silly money that is why I'm considering all the options. Just the dampers could be one answer...
Don't want to completely destroy the ride though. Just exploring options at this stage. Anyone any idea?
Alternatively does anyone have a brochure from the time? That might tell me.....
Ok as many of you know I have a standard T5 850 and am thinking of lowering it. Does anyone know how much lower the R's were compared to standard. Also (the big test) what were the spring stiffness...
Dead what have I done :confused: :hidesbehi peepo
LOL
