    Thanks mate, that is a very useful piece of information, as that has probably cleared the final hurdle, there will no doubt be a couple of hiccups along the way with this project, but I think everything is now ironed out and should just tick along as I have all winter to get her sorted for next year, she'll run as a 5 speed until a 6 speed awd can be sourced at a sensible price.

    If you go through your local agent, remind them to specifically remove the rev-limiter as your auto wiring loom will have the P&P switch fixed at neutral/park, so your car can start. At these two position, the rev if limited to 4000 rpm.
    Don't ask how I know

    my advice (for what it is worth ) it to take a sample of the oil so you can see what colour it is. if it looks black or smells burnt change it and get the gearbox adaptions reset so it can re learn.
    this way if it is oil quality related this will clear it up.
    failing that, you are really looking at a repair or rebuild. about £1250-1500 is a fair price for this.

    as things stand the manual conversion is the best route for us and will only a fraction more than the cost of a dealer autobox flush and software upgrade (using second hand parts) plus the ecu remap, that was on the cards any way. Then the car will be what Volvo should have built, as a few of us on he can't get on with the auto at speed, as it feels like you have no real control in the twisty bits.

    Quick Update

    Donor car is here, a cheap and cheerful basic V70 2.0l manual ( had a quick squirt around the block in it and its seriously slow compared to the T5-R...lol) and will be getting ripped to bits in the next week or so for it to donate its conversion parts I was wondering about the flywheel in this car, are there many different types and would I be able to just bolt on a T5-R/R clutch to the 2.0l flywheel or will I have to source a better flywheel? or has no one tried this yet? will know more when the engines out as I doubt that the 2.0l clutch would take 265hp let alone what the re-map will add ??

    There'll be plenty of pics I'm sure along the way, I would have stuck a pic of the red 2.0l up in the last post but someone has gone off today with the camera and all the memory cards and I haven't got around to putting them on flickr yet

    Nice idea Neal but I'll lose the AWD then, the ultimate would be a M66 AWD when I can find one in my price range

    why are they different, is it to do with different crank position sensors ???

    I think you`ll find the V70 has a DMF so a T5R/R clutch will not fit

    Also the V70 will have an internal slave.

    thanks for the info, will be internal slave as that is what is on the donor v70, but that won't be a problem as far as I can see. I should still able to use an old t5 flywheel instead then ?

    thanks for that Gav, so I take it the later one is the best one to use ?

    Thinking further on the subject of the flywheel for this project are there any single mass flywheels (stock items) that will work with the ME7 management with no issues or will I have to go to a special billet wheel possibly like this http://ttvracing.com/product/volvo-s...facturer=volvo I dare not to ask the price at present, but I don't mind spending a bit on clutch and flywheel, as it is then fit and forget and will be able to easily take a power hike when remap time comes along
