P2 2.3 T5 models - what to look out for?

[M-R-P]

You'd think so but, you know Volvo - if they can make life difficult, they will.
The haynes manual covers the V70 & S80, there's a separate one for the S60. My guess is, there has to be quite a few differences for them not to just add footnotes in the manual to cover the 3rd model. Look at the extra pages they add to cover derv engines...

Hmmm that's a fair point.

Shame as I fancied that deeper bumper.

May just be a pioneering maverick as make it fit :p

AHHHH great - so would seem that the S60 bumpers will fit the V70 by changing the brackets?

Where abouts are these brackets? I haven't had the front bumper off either of my P2 models.

Interesting reading. It'll be good to see how this goes if you attempt it and would make for a truely unique looking V70

Isn't that a grade of insulation used in bathrooms, under 17th edition domestic dwelling regulations?

No, insulation in bathrooms isn't any different to the rest of the house, though light fittings should be at least IP44 rated.

Thanks very much for the link although I can't see the brackets in this pic

I think they're round the side by the arch.

These plastic brackets are just under 20 pound each, I just bought 2 for mine

[Leeds_finest]

Great, so will I need the same as you if i'm going to an S60 bumper on my V70 or will I need different ones for an S60?

Cheers

Nasty horrible vile tyre smoking meatball eating wardrobe manufacturing Swedish yellow and blue wheel spins.

That's the only way I can describe this T5 in the rain. Bloody love it.

...but I swear my traction control isn't working, is it down to my DIM failure?
