Got any photos inside and out? Condition / colour of interior and exterior?
Just being a bit nostalgic this evening and wondered if anyone knows of my old C70 T5 GT? Ref is EX51 SPU. This at was IMMACULATE when I sold it.
...
Got mine from Euro Car Parts. Come as a set per axle from Pagid with boots, caps and grease.
Huge thread revival here, and for that I'm sorry but thought it may be beneficial to others to see response.
Liddo, did you try the Revive treatment??
I have a newly acquired 2003 D5 with...
Thanks mate, I'll bear that offer of a play in mind! But, I don't want to end up with another car that doesn't suit my needs re the dog crate, so I'll end up sticking out for a V70 no doubt!
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm in Waterlooville near Portsmouth. I was think that the boot looks deeper than the BM as it hasn't got to house the RWD gubbins underneath. But, on second thoughts,...
Back in Sept. I bought an E46 330i Tourer to carry out new puppy in a crate in the boot. Unfortunately, I disnt check to make sure the crate will fit in the boot! 😳 It doesn't. Need to have the seats...
Lucky you. Would really like HIDs. CANBUS corrector don't work. I've read you can drill a well placed hole in a shunt in the control module, but don't fancy that!! 😳
How have you got HIDs running in your S60 with bulb warning? I tried them in my 2004 S60 and they worked but constantly had a bulb out warning. Couldn't live with that!!
Wow, hugely surprised by these responses!! I've had a 2001 C70 and a 1998 S70R. Both massively comfy cars. Like driving an armchair! But I think the S60 is a bit more supportive in the twisties....
I have my eye on a 1998 V70R. Firstly, is it possible to retro-fit ISOFIX for child seats? If so, how much and where from? Secondly, would it be possible to fit P2 V70/S60 front seats into it? Not a...
Sounds good. Don't think a LPT making what, 6PSI(???) will sound quite the same! Haha. Out if interest, how did you lock your waste gate? Also, just reading your sig, what does the car ride / look...
Now you're giving me ideas for my D5!! :B_steerin
Oh dear God, don't let my Mum read that! She's 60 and is already asking me to "make it go vrooom tcshhh!" Haha! She's all chuffed that she now drives a turbo car, but doesn't understand the whole LPT...
Finally picked up a nice 04MY S60 2.0T for Mum on Saturday. Was in Bromley, so a bit far to take you up on your kind offer Mr P! Thanks again though. I am however pretty confident that it's a good...
Ok, I think I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth the risk, so will leave it. Thanks for the awesome offer though Martin!!
Cheers guys!
I'm taking my time as much as I can. We've been looking for two weeks now and as I said, seen some utter rubbish!!
I'm starting to think we should hold out for a decent Classic...
My Mum has recently written off her '99 V70 TDI. She absolutely loved the car and is pretty gutted. We're now looking around for a suitable replacement. Doesn't HAVE to be diesel, although she liked...
In answer to my own question and for reference for anyone else wanting to know, yes they are backward compatible. Here's an email reply from Opie Oils.
Hi Simon
Your car needs a 0w-30 oil, but...
Does anyone know if the oil specs are backward compatible? Ie, my car calls for ACEA A4/B4 0W/30 but I've bought ACEA A5/B5 0W/30.
It's £41.99 for 4L normally with them but they had 20% off all Castrol products. That offer has expired, but they now have 20% off EVERYTHING on at the mo! The voucher code is on their home page but...
Also got a bargain from Opie on the proper engine oil. 8L of Castrol Edge 0W-30 A5/B5 for £66!
Not particularly.
The fluid in there is only around 2yrs old. But, it's not the ideal stuff. It's Titan Syntofluid which was recommended on Opie Oils. It's been fine, but the shift isn't QUITE as...
Ah I see, phew!
So, rather than pouring 10L of oil through the box, I'll do as MRP says and drop / refill cheap / drop / refill Volvo!
On a side note, I've just bought air / oil / fuel filters. Genuine Volvo comes in around £85. Just bought Mann filters (Volvo filters are Mann filters!) £29.
