The most popular on this site may not be the best product. Don't follow the heard, ask around. If you can, get to see actual figures on a plot and not just the BHP graph either!

EDIT:

Hardly...

They are known to be very optimistic. I think it is calculated by flow rate as it cant really be measured exactly. Someone who knows what they are talking about will correct me. Mine claims 50 mpg...

Spooky these old threads!

As with Andy, I'm deffo a diesel head. Iv'e had the D5 (51 reg 163) for over a year and loving it with the RICA sportmap which IMHO could be improved but gets 8/10 from...

Glad all is going well. Hopefully not only the idle problems will be sorted on yours but it will go a hell of a lot better once its done.

I find its not so much the tax, yes its stupidly expensive but that sort of money is far less than the cost of the petrol per annum.

NOTE: I know this is a performance site and I'm not complaining...

Welcome to vpcuk by the way. Pop in to the new members and introduce yourself. You'd better have some pics to hand, mind!:saythat:

It does make you think.

60 mph. Not that fast either.

LOL. The thought had crossed my mind too and anything previously owned by Adam cant be :snail:

Thanks all for your comments also Adam for explaining the different engines. I dont feel such a numpty now I know that there are all the different variants.

I'll just try to find an early v70 D5...

Possibly the aerial socket and a phone cable input?

Diesel :cussing:

Ok, most of you will hate me for this and some already know that I'm looking at getting rid of the T5 for a diesel. Dont get me wrong, since the ETM was sorted I...

Fantastic!

I must admit I was sad when you originally said it wasnt working that well previously.

There are headlight adjusters ontop of the headlight units

Oh, jees I hate this. Got a haynes for the p2 v70 but I'm not mechanically minded and migt need some help with part descriptions.

Try this for starters. If not right please will someone let me...

Naa, it was us lot being nosey! Only kidding!

Well, you lucky, lucky people. Grab that offer!

Those of you up here who have not already met Simon at Chip tuning (Scotland), go and meet the guy :Handshake . He's been very helpful to me.

Here you go mate...:troutslap :)

From memory, but I may be wrong, the spring seats were volvo only parts. The top mounts/bearing are not cheap. Dont go taking shocks/springs off without the proper clamps.( Just incase you were...

I had steering wheel/engine knock which the new top mount sorted.

Bushes were done when it was in for a service and i think it was the wishbone bushes that were done. They had minimal play but...

Yes i think wishbone bushes are available.

First question. Have you had a look at/changed the top engine mount?

Thanks v much folks folks. As always good info.

I was out in an '02 v70D5 today and I hate to report it was feckin good!

It had the premuim sound system same as mine but no sub. So was going...

Well said that man!

I also found a blanking gromet, low down on the drivers side that I could put the cable through to save any drilling throught the bulkhead.

Does anyone know if I can plug my volvo sub into another P2 without any extra work?

I have the HU-803 as does the other car.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

BrightonBreezy has summed it up very well. Do you need to sell it or do you want to sell it?

Its just luck. I have an '02 "W" at 111K which is requiring lots of minor things such as bushes to...
