Appreciated Stribo.
I do value peoples experience and knowledge and it is for this reason I joined the forum.
Many thanks...Jim...(that's t5_jim and not JamesT5 btw :) )

no not the same person and not related. Apologies for having a similar name to another member and I don't care about how many posts I have put up.
All I asked for was some advice.
Many thanks for...

ok thats wise words. I do really like the look of the P2 though and to be honest it might be worth a risk or turn into a money pit.....Decisions decisions...........

Lol..for what reasons? They cant be that bad surely? Your sig is a 2003 v70. Has it turned into a nightmare of a money pit(minus mod costs obviously):smirk:

Its a P2

H I guys, a 2000 model year Volvo v70 t5 se automatic has come up for sale quite locally and is a relatively cheap price, high miles(202`000) but service history upto 150k apparently.
As I`m...

ok these were the answers i was looking for, they look much neater and as long as i dont lose any functions from the dash display i wont be too fussed about the boost gauge as i have aftermarket...

I fancy the idea of v70 phase one dash clocks in my `96 850 t5.
Are these plug and play or is there a mountain of modifications needed?
any help much appreciated.......Jim

yeah, I tried boosting the neg trigger output using a relay but no joy. You can still lock all the doors with the key from the passenger side though, so with hinesight wiring it in to the passenger...

Today I fitted new aftermarket keyless entry. located the lock/unlock trigger wires but when it comes to the lock trigger I found I had to cut one of the black common wires in the drivers door panel,...

fitted a few to my old jags, easiest install ever.
this post needs to be 850 specific as someone somewhere knows the answer to the lock negative trigger issue.

ok, thanks for the reply but not quite the answer Im looking for. Brand is unimportant to me, its the solution to the issue alot of people have of the lock function not working...:wink:

Ok, more than likely some of you have aftermarket keyless entry systems on your 850`s and may of installed them yourselves.
Because the range on the factory systems is pretty poor and tempremental...

Im thinking maybe my car is an import or something and might be worth checking its VIN to find out where it was built as not all remotes/cars are compatible depending on market etc?........

will be replying soon once i sort the non programming out, not worth buying more remotes if the system has a fault

Ok so here goes.
I took delivery of 2 remotes same as in the top picture, changed the batteries for new ones,went through the programming proceure and neither of them will program to my car?
Any...

Does anyone know of a UK outlet where i can get a new ignition switch from for my T5?

many thanks,
Jim

might be worth sending me a pm with a price including p&p then :)

mine has the break glass sensor and as said uses the remote in the first pic, i have bought both types and will see which one programmes and get back.
They were only a couple of quid so nothing lost

my `96 t5 uses this type of remote

question is can I use this type of remote?

this is how the car looks now with her new 17" wheels from ebay £10.60 for the set with good...

Hi guys and girls,
does anyone have a Rica or HLM ecu for sale(1996 t5 auto by the way)? if not I will give Hamish a call.
Thanks......Jim

"Couple of little niggly issues, ABS/TC light keeps coming on, maybe sensor or the ABS ring?"

not saying it is, but mine does this along with the lambda light. With my car the fault is the...
