Hi Folks,

Hope someone can help.

I've got a USASPEC Ipod adapter fitted to my 850 and I'm getting a buzzing (increases with engine revs). I've been told this ground loop interference. Bought a...

Nice!

Simon, I have the same pipercross air filter, i did not oil mine though!! I get the same whoosh when I release the throttle

I also had a powerflow custom exhaust fitted and am thinking...

Saw this and it looks like the way forwards!!!

What I want to know is whether there are any 850 T5R owners that have fitted a Baileys dump valve and have been satisfied with the results.

I'm waiting for my blanking plate to arrive and I'm...

I've got to say I'm disappointed with the Bailey's DV. In hindsight had I known about the volume, (or lack of) I would not have bothered and kept the £100 odd quid!!

However, I initialy...

Wotty,

I'm probably being a bit thick but I don't suppose you have a picture of "orig vacuum hose from orig recirc.direct to manifold" as I still have no idea where you mean.

I've ordered a...

Thanks Iggy,

I've fitted the Dump valve and took her for a test run. But no whoosh sound!!

Could you have a look to see if I've understood your instructions clearly, as pics below:

Hi there,

I've just received my order for a Bailey's Venturi/Trumpet dump valve and I'm planning the install.

I'm fitting to an 850 T5R.

I've just noticed the above picture and I dont...

Thanks Iggy,

Where is the light switch located?

The relay, I think is green coloured and sits within the fuse box, I check that for problems.

Hi Folks,

Driving home last night and the Bulb failure warning light came on. The Driver's Side headlamp stopped working.

So did the obvious, this afternoon, checked both bulbs (55W/H1's),...

Aah Bonnet Release, Good question!

The replacement that came with this was ****!!! I had to fabricate an adapter to allow the replacement bonnet switch/catch to sit were the original used to.

Hi Greg,

I got it from www.partsforvolvos.com (model no:1000.1281). It does not come with the T5R Badge, I got that from eBay. I'm not sure if I got a good deal though, I paid £80.00 for this...

Sorry mate, What's GIVF???

Hi Folks,

I've just fitted this replacement grille to my T5R. Looked crap before I relocated the horns. I'm not too sure about it as my dad came round and asked "where's your grille gone?"
...

Marc,

That looks good! do you have more info?

Cheers!

Neevo,

Got the B*stard Poly bushes to fit after a few cuts and blisters! Talk about trying to push an elephant through a mouse hole!!

I tried your brick wall method and it was spot on! cheers...

I don't mind, I paid £320.00 (all in) from TopGear (Hayes), specialist in custom made exhaust systems.

Abdul you requested pictures. Here are the two mod's I've had done so far:

Hi Folks,

I've got a problem trying to get the second half of the poly bush to sit in place. I've tried G-Clamping it and forcing it in with plenty of lube but nothing.

Could someone give me...

Hi Folks,

I've just installed a pipercross induction kit into my 850R Estate and now i don't use my stereo as much as I used to. I love the whooshing sound it makes when I release my foot from...

Great pic of the turbosmart! gives a better indication of size.

Engine bay looks bloody aggresive too!

I've only started to put my 850 T5R Estate under the knife and it'll take me a while and...

Thanks for the pointer Dan!

I'll look it up!

Hi Folks,
