he's looking at 100-130K miles

thanks for any help

just put my OBDii reader on the BiL's 850 2.5 and we're getting 2 readings
secondary air system (generic code 0410)
wondered what this refers to?

Keep the Volans, 17" best ride/handling balance and cool too

my head unit won't play anything in the 3-CD cartridge, it just loads one after another as if it doesn't recognise them as CDs.
It has done this before on home made audio CDs but these are genuine...

if you have the space and time you'd possibly make more selling it in bits via EBay.
No problem shifting it at that price

Don't know if this is true but when I did mine on my 850R i was advised to re-run the tube on a slightly longer route but away from the manifold to prevent a repeat failure.
anyone else?

get a piece of bar and whack the centre of the bolt using something like a 4pound lump hammer just to aid breaking the contact between bolt and hub. then find a 19mm/imperial socket that you can...

So looking at the interior you joined the 'Saffey' club!!!
Lovely motor! have you stopped playing with all the toys yet?

The only time I've noticed tramlining has been when the tyre depth has been low. It was especially bad until today (tyre change time :grumpy:) when I coughed up £450 to get 4 new ones.
Interestingly...

look out for potholes and enjoy the look
with a bit of practise you will soon be able to tell who cast any manhole covers you drive over:hilarious

gas pressure seems OK. In the hot weather the climate control blows cold from start but once it reaches temperature it's like it won't re-engage the compressor. I'm not even sure if that's connected...

Ok, I like the car cool (not cold) and rarely use the heater, The air con comes on to cool the car but sometimes fails to keep cooling once it's got there initially. But now the weather's changed...

AWD is a completely different drive to the std front wheel drive. In damp or wet conditions it is much more composed and with larger power ones 250bhp+ I'm not so sure it's slower off the line...

I have these and I'd recommend them, good quality and easy to fit!

aesthetically it does clean the front up if you have a mesh grill and it does only take 30 mins! when fitting them low down, ensure the horn faces down and back to prevent the ingress of water and...

If it drives as good as it looks I'm sure a quick blast round will get you all the GATSO photos you need!!!:D
It's posts like this that put those of us ( who just mop the car over on the occaisional...

my 850 was accurate down to the last 5 miles but I'm not so sure about the V70R as I've had 30miles left showing and when I filled up i managed to get 70 litres in!!!! (Spec says the tank is 69...

Simon Templer step aside that's not a car for 'The Saint', that is a car for The Sinner!!!!!

You acquire the turning circle of an oil tanker but they won't rub.

Halfords website used to list a cheap turbo timer but I agree with Dave that it's probably not needed....

I bounced a deer off my 850 with barely a scratch, and years ago I received a phonecall from my insurance company asking why I hadn't reported the accident I'd had the previous week with a Metro. I...

It would seem that in the tuning world, the manufacturers pay the price of listening to the 'bean counters'!
If you look at some of the legendary engines for tuning many of them can cope on 'stock'...

For the cost of replacements I'd change them and find out.

PCV system (search the forum)
ABS light - ensure it comes on then goes out
taigate rattle
heated seat recall
all good bargaining points but no great shakes to sort.
