Nice one didnt cost too much then! I've already done my return pipe seals!! Oh well back to the drawing board lol

Hope you get it sorted mate! Let us know the outcome I for one will be interested!!

Just a couple of hundred miles a month really. Well I guess its worth trying anyway cos Im getting sick of it! I would love the car if I could find the leak but Im afraid I kinda hate it right now...

Readview I take it you are refering to the camshaft position sensor? And if you are would it seep enough for me to go through 1/2 litre of oil a month??

sorry to slightly hijack the thread but are these seals just a case of taking the distributor off and replacing? Just wondering if its easy enough then its worth a try for me to find the 'elusive'...

Your right they are hard to find it took me about 6 months to find the right one and I still dont think I like the colour lol! I paid £1800 just over a year ago and had to travel 200 miles to get it.

Well I guess I will start with the sensor then! Fans doing my head in being on all the time!

Any help at all? Surely someone must have an idea what Im rambling on about???

Hi guys,

On my load cover in the boot I dont have any clips or such that the covers would clip into when extended. Has anyone got any idea where to get them? Even better would be a photo so I...

Hi guys, I know this topic has probably been done to death but is it really worth upgrading the brakes on my v70 to 302's?? I think cosmetically it would look better but will I actually notice the...
