Mine does that, very annoying.

I like them, get em on there

Sorry to hear that mate. Good luck finding another!!

I think the auto boxes are more proned to problems on the later Volvos. The 850 and S/V/C70 boxes are pretty much bomb proof if looked after properly. Yes they are more complicated than a manual but...

I've had a few auto T5s (most over 150k miles) and never had a problem, they are a bit sluggish when you initially set off away from the line but fine once moving! Can be alarming if you want to nip...

I've got an amp for this, no leads tho, pm me and make me an offer if u want it :-)

Contact Rufe for your brakes, I got a full set of genuine discs and pads for my V70 for less than the price of the copies, bloody great!! And you can tell the difference, I keep bumping my head on...

If you remove the plastic cover (6 torx screws) from the top of the engine to reveal the spark plugs and find a build up of oil under there then the breathers are blocked. This is probably the cause...

Ha well I'll stick with my standard T5 auto then and leave all u modded 300bhp guys for dead away from the lights then, you can catch me up when you finally get into fourth gear if you haven't had to...

Doubtful if that would cause lamda light to come on, the garage in question should be finding out why its on if they have caused it. And no it probably won't go off itself, it will need plugging in...

Take it back to the tracking place and get them to re-check it, perhaps they didn't get it quite right. Are the tyres wearing unevenly?

I get 300 miles to a tank and thats a combination of motorway and round town stuff

It really depends on how fast your going, under 30mph it will hit 1st gear but if your at 35 you only get second which feels a lot less violent. Similarly, if your soin 65 you can get it down into...

I had a 98 V70R AWD and it used to make some bloody funny noises from back there, its a dodgy old system if u ask me, good on a new car, best avoided on an older one. If it goes wrong you'll be in...

Cameron, That red 850 looks a bit tasty and I like the Tethys on the white one. I'm after some Comets for my 97 V70.

Wow I want a 740 on crack!!! Looks like a bit of a handful though, not one to take your granny out for tea in unless it comes with a built-in defibrilator :-)

I had a 760 turbo a few years back, i increased the boost on the turbo with a bleed valve (not the greatest mod i know) and it went very well, not totally dissimilar to a T5 actually, certainly fast...

I believe these are called Persus, they are 16" and were fitted to some 850's (AWD??) Pretty rare, and a nice alternative to the normal T5 rims.

I've had a few things from GSF with varying results, brakes always squeal but I think anti-squeal shimms can be fitted to counteract this, they do seem to stop you ok! Personally I wouldn't have a...

I would agree with Wombatbomb, brakes and wishbones are the only difference between a police T5 and a civilian one. The police 850s had the later T5 alloys as well (like the ones on a S/V70, can't...

Changing the top mount is a 15 minute job provided you have the use of a 'press' to push the new rubber mount into position. Apart from the obvious bolts at the top, there are about 3 or 4 allen-key...

If its only doing it when the engines cold, could be a dodgy coolant temperature sensor, mine was faulty and same was happening but you'd expect lamda light to come on if this is the case.

you need longer arms :-)

I really wouldnt bother with it to be honest, the first post about the chocolate teapot was spot on, its totally and utterly useless. If your ABS is working then I'd count yourself lucky and leave it...

'Import' immediatley comes to my mind, have you looked at the V5? Make sure you read it carefully. I had an imported 850 with a similar indeterminate message where it should say 850 2.5 etc.
Not...
