Recently acquired an S70 T5 to replace the 850 estate that some blind and stupid female genitalia wrote off, car always starts and runs fine, seems to hold boost and have enough of it but have...
Just spotted this on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-VOLVO-V70-T5-TWR-LTD-EDITION-250-BHP-FULL-SERVICE-HISTORY-/320943872946?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ab9bedbb2#ht_746wt_1270
I thought...
Thanks Keith sounds like a great plan, when you say take off the hose red or yellow- does it matter which one at all?
The rod coming out of the actuator has a fair bit of resistance and about 12mm of movement in it, the arm that the rod attaches to has no resistance whatsoever and was flopping about freely.
Was...
The arm itself is really floppy and has no resistance at all, looks like it was taken off deliberately a long time ago as the split pin was actually still in place.
Not been on forum for ages...
Smokes a fair bit under load for first mile or first 5-10 mins
Just purchased a V40 T4 advertised on ebay - sounded good, 98' VERY low mileage - 54k or thereabouts, described as 'drives well' - well I can only assume the guy selling it (small Arthur Daley type...

Get the convertible - but only because there's slightly less metal available to rust :wink:
Very 'Pretty' car though
They ARE the ones I have, they do a more substantial set as well but as Pliskin has a set of Volvo bars I would go for those mate..
I have a set of Automaxi roofbars that clamp on the doorframe/roof of my S70 T5 which I use for carrying my Yamaha 3m RIB - these are only rated to 75kg, although they do a slightly different set...
I have a set of those 'Camera Beating Plate Covers' they're Fantastic..
Obviously if you do happen to get pulled by the Plod you merely say you have just taken some pictures to put on ebay and had...
I've popped into my local Volvo dealer for this 3 times in the past with different cars / radios and after giving them the car reg they've printed out a report with the code on it for me at no charge...
Copied from another thread - hope it helps..
The ccm 0021 code means that the air senser in the air intake is faulty, this little device controls the vent flap on the intake. It closes it if there...
That's only about 9 miles away from me..
Must have missed that one as been looking for an estate on ebay
Mine has dropped slightly but I think it's due to a dodgy thermostat as my car is running cool and doesn't get more than 1/3rd of the way up when moving.
New 'stat purchased from local *****...
If they're anything like my local Kwikfit avoid them like the plague.
Unless he's thrown a LOT of money at it and gone forced induction it should be a walk in the park in a straight line race over anything greater than 1/8m.
If you have a race make it a hillclimb event rather than a flat track and watch the lack of torque in the Honda annihilate his flat times.
Must be this one on ebay in 'Tropical Green'

Considered it myself...
Have you tried getting someone to press down on the bonnet, hold it down, then you pull the bonnet release and hold it pulled out, then ask person holding bonnet down to try lifting bonnet.
Mine...
I prefer the S/V70 but only for the slightly more modern looking interior - externally I actually prefer the sharper looking 850 especially the R
Well I was inching away from a Veyron the other day doing 256 mph, I then slipped it up a gear into second and left him for dead when I took it over 2k rpm and the Turbo actually spooled up.
If I...
I leave my S70 T5 in Sport all the time - If I'm really gentle with the pedal it will still upchange at low revs as if in economy but more importantly it will very quickly downchange and take off...
