Yeah have you heard of him too?:lol:
I can't believe that I've only just discovered him and I'm in my fifties.
I love "Motherless Child.":wink:

In March I had my wheels refurbed and both bumpers resprayed to tidy things up. Had a great job done and I was really pleased with the result.
My route to work is very rural and it takes me past...

Have had the Denso plugs in for two weeks now and I'm mightily impressed. There is definitely a noticeable power increase over the previous NGK Iridium plugs I had been using before. The engine is...

Hi Dave.
I was a bit concerned about the first time I had my MOT after the HID install. I've used three different testing stations since I fitted them and my ballasts are in plain view in the engine...

I bought mine from Rufe, a member on here, back in 2008. Rufe (real name Simon) works for FRF-Volvo in Swansea and offers VPCUK.ORG members a good discount. I think the headlights, indicators and...

I finally went for the Denso Iridium Power IK22 plugs and fitted them yesterday along with a new distributor cap and rotor arm. Immediately I started the engine up I noticed it ran smoother and...

The crystal lights don't give out any more light it's just that by now most original light units will have faded reflectors. Replacing them with original or crystal type will make a noticeable...

KFC be very careful what you put on your car. I had a disaster with a Powerflow system on an Audi 90 2.3 20Valve which also has 5 cylinders. They fitted a system that created resonance inside the...

KFC you have one beautiful looking car. At the risk of getting flamed can I suggest that you consider crystal headlights along with a decent HID upgrade and an egg crate grille. In my humble opinion...

Hi.
I'm going to service my car (S70 2.5T with RICA 235 remap) prior to the annual trek into France. I've been running it with NGK BKR7EIX Iridium plugs for the past 24,000 miles and have always...

All working again. I bought a complete kit from Mike at FRF-Volvo. I have to say I have nothing but praise for both Rufe (Simon) and Mike at FRF. They are both incredibly helpful.
The complete kit...

Hi Stedman.
Why is it a pain? Is it a lengthy job or just fiddly? Do I need any special tools?
Cheers,
Steve

The base of the drivers seat in my S70 is starting to look a bit tired. It's full leather, electric with heater. I was wondering how easy it is to replace the foam base pad which is available from...

No update at the moment. I'm planning to remove the bumper next week sometime. I've got the loan of a spare module and a sensor to try too.
Cheers.

Hi.
I get the long tone when I put it into reverse and then nothing.
I'll have to check the wiring.
Cheers.

The thing is the sensors were originally painted and I cleaned them off before it went in for the resparay. They worked when originally painted and after I cleaned them.
I'm wondering if they...

Hi.
My S70 has factory fitted reversing sensors fitted in the rear bumper.
I have just had the rear bumper resprayed and now the system doesn't work. I engage reverse and get the single long tone...

Blatant bump!
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi.
My car S70 2.5T LPT with RICA 235 remap has sddenly developed a very intermittent fault. Without any warning the idle speed suddenly drops to about 600rpm and then surges up and settles back...

Yeah I know they are out there but I made it very clear that I wasn't going to throw money at it if loads of other things were on their way out. After close inspection a CV joint gaiter might need...

Have you cured it?
If not you should now check for vacuum leaks.
I got the Lambda light coming on on my 2.5T and the fault code pointed to a rich mixture which as it turned out was caused by...

Hi p.fandango
Sorry to butt in but in what way was the Powerflex bush too rough as mine needs doing on my S70 2.5T Auto?
Thanks.

In preparation for our annual French holiday I decided to get the drive belts replaced on my S70. It's only done 105k but the previous owner had replaced them at 40k. I know it's still early but I...

Hi Quicksilver.
The alarm will cause some current drain but not much.
I keep my S70 in the garage, unlocked so I don't have that problem.
Mine was caused by accidentally releasing the boot with...

I fitted crystals to my S70 along with the later egg crate grille. They give the car a more modern fresher look somehow.
I considered the projectors but in my experience of them on the Vauxhall...
