    saffy c70 t5

    just picked a new toy to play with as my 850 is not long for this world .



    shes got a couple of small faults, but nothig that alters the ride.
    first the cruise control dosnt work. any ideas/
    srs light is on but i think this is down to the passenger seat as it wont fold forward. has anyone else had this fault with the seat and is it an easy fix?
    last the exhaust has a slight blow from the rear section. if anyone has any parts going cheap to help me fix her that would be cool as im now officaly skint haha.
    my 850 is awd so i cant use the exhaust from that.
    im sure i read some were that you can reto fit the fuel/temp computer. i have the clocks from a v70r that i can use. will the wireing be there or will i have to take it out of the 850.
    how easy is it to change the wing mirror. the old one is there but has been hit by a car at some point so isnt sitting straight
    any info will be cool
    cheers andy

    I have spare wing mirrors & the saffy cover can be swapped over. I can help with that swap if you're close to me (what do side you need?).

    I wouldnt bother retro fitting the computer thing - it will cost more than the car (software has to be flashed from Volvo). The binnacle is the least of your worries. Best thing to do is reset your trip after every petrol fill. A gallon is 4.54 litres.

    I've never had a computer thing in my C70 so I am used to working it out.

    Is your car ME7 - I can't quite see if the badge is blue from this angle?

    cheers dave. the car is me7. the wing mirror is the drivers side. i have one on my 850, could this be used?
    i have a few bits on the 850 that i want to swap over. i take it the strut bar is ok.
    i have a poly top mount can this be swapped over?
    i have a k&n panel filter in the 850 can this be used?
    please excuse my ignorance ive not had an me7 engined car before
    the 2 main issues if you can call them that is the slight blow on the exhaust and the passenger seat

    oh and the cruse control but this isnt a main thing

    Shape is completely different - so I very much doubt it would fit.

    If the engine is pre-ME7 the I don't see why not. I have the uprated OEM mount spare if this is ME7?

    Air box size may not match - try it & see.

    If the exhaust is holed then I know Bubba is trying to sell his almost new A/M stainless cat back?

    Cruise control will almost certainly be either the ABS ECU or the reluctor rings are somehow broken.

    What is wrong with the passenger seat?

    Cable in the seat is snapped. It's a common fault n quite cheap to fix. I have done my own. Cable is available from Volvo. I can help u fit it? I have pictures on here somewhere. Airbag is not related.
