not so BIG now....

TOP stuff, cheers that will be one low-ish milage engine on its way to me less a 10% discount.

The C70 has now risen from the flames....it can be re-built bigger and stronger than before

Not done many miles just yet and I'm taking it easy for the first few hundred but it does seem a bit more nippy (can I use the work `nippy` when refering to a volvo?) probably the good service and the new turbo that's doing that, but so far I'm very happy, although quite a bit poorer :/ oh well ££££ happens

[Wobbly Dave]

All's well that end's well! Who, what, when, where - repair wise?

[C70T5]

Not sure if you've already been asked but what sort of times was the car getting around the track?

[TedBovis]

Ah, I dunno about the times around the track, never timed it just went for the fun and there was a little traffic so not always easy to get a clear run, next time though

repairs were all carried out by the little village garage I have been using for a lot of years but always do a great job.

Engine was an 850 T5 with 106K on the clock from Salvo - £540
new/recon Turbo 16T was from VT - £350 (part ex for the old one)
and labour - !!!!(still to come!)

All prices exclude VAT

oh and as my Pads had taken some abuse around the track a couple of those, incidently the Brakes are excellent now probably because the system was stripped down and the ABS unit was re-conned although I do need to get my ABS light reset.

Oh and the new Turbo has made a BIG difference my old one must have been very tired, more responsive with more pull, unless its the newer engine
