My, you really are getting confused.

Remember this ?

That's the wonderful thing about Alzheimer's ... you've never made any mistakes because the past doesn't exist.

First rule of the interweb : - Never argue with the senile.

Oh ffs... I'll say again, go back and read the whole thread to see who said what.

Why should I sit here and quote what was said when it's already written down ?

Should've gone to SpecSavers...

**thebadger** · Wednesday 16th December 2009, 11:03

Oh where is this post going?

Look, he needs to get it seen about, something is wrong with it!

Assuming a specific part & saying "yes, that's what's wrong I know!" is just tosh & should be ignored by everyone.

Suggesting possible issues is helpful, which is the point of such forums, and can speed a solution to the issues.

Unless you are a mechanic who has personally viewed the specific car in question, I would only ever give suggestions, not solutions.

btw, But is it really a volvo, I assume by the sig you have an S80 & have made your assumption that it's the same as a V70 because you have a shiny Haynes Manual. Perhaps you could read through it & compare some of the specs & dimesions on the cars? Some suspension parts, wheels & in some cases, engines are all they have in common.

What's the engine got to do with the price of fish ?

No, it's not 'cos I've got a shiny Haynes manual or for that matter, a copy of VADIS.
It's because I've got a pair of eyes.

If you honestly think the V70 = S60 estate, I can only suggest a trip to SpecSavers or that you stop to consider exactly what might possess Volvo to make their biggest estate based on the 2nd biggest saloon.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm getting confused and wires crossed, oh and i hope that it is a genuine VADIS disc and not a copy, oh and VIDA is the one to use nowadays not VADIS

i know i have eyes oh and also perfect vision as i have been to have my eyes tested last week thankyou. Now please take this which ever way you want but imho i think you getting peoples backs up on here now, you are a fairly new member and yes everybody has a opinion but telling people who work or have worked for VOLVO for years that they know nothing and that they are wrong is a insult, oh and copied version/pirated versions of any software are not condoned on here i am affraid

And where in my post did I refer to an S60?

You are clearly afflicted with some kind of dillusional visual impairment.

I hope you don't drive near any built up areas, the impact may be biblical in the terror stakes.
