Mmmm, seems opinions differ on whether you can keep the BCS or not. I am no expert on Volvos (hence this post!) but is it the BCS that gives you the "cut out" or is it the ECU? Also any advice on...

I did bypass the BCS but I'm trying to keep that "inline" as a safety feature if possible. I just want to set the MBC to the maximum setting before the BCS cuts in but as I said the MBC I tried ran...

I borrowed an MBC from a mates car to try on mine to see if it made any difference and was pleasantly surprised it did! Only problem was that it was overboosting and cutting the fuel, we tried to...

Check to see if it's the rubber top mount by gripping the wheel and rock it back and forth whilst looking at the main mounting bolt in the centre of the strut top, if it moves it's probably the...

Elliott when you say "back box" do you mean the big suit case sized silencer on the T5? And what have you replaced it with?

So what exactly is the difference between the Rica 280 map and the 300 map, apart from the power and cost! Do you need to uprate anything else?(filter, exhaust etc)

Dave,what did you do with the grille and the 19t and the chipped ecu? They for sale or been sold? Real nice car by the way, same as mine and red is the best!!

I had a modded Cosworth, around 300bhp, a few years back when the Fiats were a bit newer and had a dual with a 20v turbo and was somewhat surprised that it almost keep up with me from a rolling start...

ALL R's are good!, birch or walnut, some are "limited" and some are, well, more limited, so think I'll just call those ones, and we all know now which one's those are, "Exclusive" :)

Mine's red too Dave!

196 850R's and 750 "Limited Edition" T5R's, looks obvious to me which one is the rarer :haha: So the 850 R is newer,and has more power, and is faster and more "limited" than the "Limited Edition"...

Agree with everything Ross9 says!! Only thing that can be a bit misleading is that when they say 50bhp jets for instance, you won't actually get a 50bhp increase in power you might more!! On a T5...

Had some experience of it on Vauxhall engines but not Volvo.You will encounter various opinions, some will say it works others will say it'll destroy your engine! I say speak to people who supply and...

I have a mini with a 2.0 XE Vauxhall engine in it, runs carbs and cams and has approx. 200bhp. Does the quarter in the low 14's and leaves my 850R for dead! And yes the R is in tip top condition and...

Could someone explain these graphs to the less technically gifted!? What I mean is, for instance, what gear these figures were taken in, what speed( if dyno's register this) the car was doing in each...

Heat the badge up with the hairdyer to soften the gluey stuff and then use a piece of electrical wire and slide it behind the badge and "saw" through the soft glue like a cheese cutter, use plastic...

Cheers Andy.

Can anyone tell me the stereo wiring colour coding i.e what colours are the live/earth/speaker wires on the plug that fits into the rear of the stereo.Ta.

Ta for the input and the Swedish lesson! Looks like the T5R is the limited edition one then (250 or so), still would like to know, limited edition or not, just how many 850R's were made though,...

Anyone know how many 850 R's and T5R's were made in total? How many were estates/saloons and manuals/autos? Just wondering how rare these cars were and "R" getting!!(sorry! crap joke)

Thanks for the link, seem's theres an endless choice of stuff for you ICE guys!, so much stuff and so little space inside a car to fit it all! Will have to wait a while before I purchase but at least...

Thanks for the advice, I'll look in to getting an amp as well but where's the best place to fit it in the car? I've never heard of Rainbow speakers before. Can anyone recommend a website so I can see...

Hello all, can anyone give me info on the sizes of the stereo speakers in the dash, doors and rear (estate)? Find the standard ones a bit poor and want to upgrade them with something better. Just...
