I've got a Thule 3 bike tailgate carrier on my R. All three bikes are full size and no matter how I put them on I can't open the tailgate. The carrier does drop down but not far enough. On the plus...

Right not kit then. Will see what else might be. Thanks!

Hmm not checked. Will have a look. Does mount noise vary with revs? This doesn't, just with speed. It's not exhaust, that's standard. What noise does induction make then?

Bought an S70 with AEM manual boost, HKS dump valve and Simota carbon enclosed induction kit. Not hugely keen on the dump valve but think I'm getting used to it. What is annoying me (I think) is the...

Had cable changed and now feels light and good. Much nicer drive.

I drive a 1996 850R auto but moving back and forth between that and a manual 1998 S70R the difference in the pressure the accelerator needs is incredible. It's so solid on the manual compared to the...

Thanks for the info. Really useful. Can I ask what you're thinking of putting in the space. I wondered whether a little sub could fit in rather than taking up spare wheel space. Anyone done this?

I'm assuming that if I buy a double din then the amp would not be used and new unit would just feed speakers direct? I've no knowledge in this area but if signal currently goes from SC-801 to amp...

I've got the USA Spec on my 850R and it works great. Only thing to be aware of is that if you want to charge a 3G phone or 4th Gen Nano then you will need another special adapter, in addition to the...

I was thinking of routing my USASpec Ipod cable to the centre console. Do you have to take the console out? What do you have to do?

Got my iPod adapter ready to fit in the R (thanks Pete). Having no skills in this area whatsoever, be grateful for advice from anyone who's done it before.

1) There's a yellow and red cable....

Had a bit of snow up north yesterday. Wife took out her 2005 1.6 Civic and its handling was appalling apparently. I've noticed myself that grip seems poor in the wet.

Wife asked if she'd be better...

I think they're great, much more versatile than a Galaxy (which I used to have). Just fold them up or down, not like humping the Galaxy seats around. Kids love them too.

I suspect Volvo only...

My 850 from the b pillar back has had a slight tint, you wouldn't really notice unless you put it next to another 850, just nice and subtle I think. I certainly think it improves the look of the car...

Thanks all for the advice. Will try the manual tilting method next time I look at one. Wasn't really intending to buy the Wakey ones, just looking to see what they were like as not looked at any...

Oh, the manual ones are supposed to move it forward too? The one working tilter only moved the upright bit, it didn't slide it forward! So that's 0 out of 4 working.

Toying with the idea of buying the wife a C70. Went to look at two on a forecourt on Saturday. One was electric seats the other manual.

How the seats tilt is really important because we have two...

That looks really nice and I'd love one in my 850, make the dash look a bit more modern! Not really up to date with ICE though so can you explain why a DVD player in the front of the car is a good...

Local guy was fitting me some new shocks on my 850R and said he could get me some extra power for not a lot of money so I said yeah, fine. (I know, I know...)

Picked up the car and he's fitted a...

That green one looks really nice though.

Can someone explain about the electric seats? I have electric seats on my 850 and I know they're painfully slow to move back and forth, but if someone's...

Sorry to hijack but I've got one bulb out on the dash in my 850. The one that lights up the trip computer, clock etc.. Garage said 'oh that's a dashboard out job, just leave it'. But wife already run...

Looks a lot better, may try on my seats. Never knew the V70s had alcantara steering wheel, my 850R got leather. Doesn't sound like a good idea to fit a car with an alcantara steering wheel.

Got an 850R estate done 160k. These all had self levelling suspension as standard didn't they?

Well I'm sure mine's not working. My drive has an odd level and if I drive out with just me in no...

Got them in my 850R. Assumed they were standard in the R but maybe not? Kids like them on cold days, must be at back as well as they won't feel anything through their booster seats.
