Volvo 850 T5RLast night i was driving back from Dover, a happier man! A 'big-up' to Niles.....thanks a million mate for taking the time out on shuch short notice to inspect/fix my motor.....drove super all the way home!
New fuel pump and that 'tweek' have put my faith into the car, again! The shock top mounts have taken away that vibration in the chassis....so theres another result!
I really think i should have taken a pic of those shocker tops though....must be a record!
Picked up that wheel yesterday on the way home, its the same colour and very good condition.....
Will be on the phone soon enough im sure!!
Cheers again mate and catch up soon, top bloke!

Thanked 197 Times in 176 Postsyeah i thought you were going to pop over yesterday but i think Niles said you couldnt make it, shame really....maybe next time im down for more stuff we can meet......
yeah i wanted Niles to have a good look over it and he did exactly that...and more! I told me he sorted a few issues out for you too after i saw your post about your Vac leaks! I was sure i had Vac leaks too till Niles told me otherwise and sorted it....he's a sound bloke....even had a cuppa at his before and after!!!

Thanked 541 Times in 383 PostsYeah sorry I couldn't make it. By the time I got there I would have had to leave almost straight away to go pick up my boy. Next time you're down let me know and we'll meet up. Did you meet Justin (t5lover) too? He's a top man as well. Think him Niles have just set up their business together.
