    Smile What a difference!

    I had my car fully serviced yesterday, I've only had the car a short while and it is in mint condition, so my mechanic and I were surprised to find that even only on 78,000 miles and FVSH that the plugs were knackered and the oil looked as if it hadn't been changed in a while.

    Anywas got all new stuff in there and a cambelt, new cam oil seals new tensioner new pulley the lot and also fitted my powerflex torque bushing. The car is like a dream now. more responsive and smoother and has a slightly gruntier noise from fitting the bushing.

    Overall well pleased! It pays to look after these cars.

    Nice, it's amazing the difference a good service can make to a car.

    All fast cars long gone. Sensible family BMW 3 series now.
    Still Volvo links though as my wife has a V50 R design sport and a mildly fettled T4
