Sure did

Dam, are they going to strip it down to rebuild or is it going to be a new angle gearbox.
Do you think the weather was the last straw for it.

No it's getting a new one, no I first heard the noise yesterday before the snow, pyaap remapped it for me, he told me to really go and push the car over the next few days just to make sure if anything is going to go it will go down here, so I gave it a good few power runs, only one from a stand still but not totally hammering it for fear I recked the clutch, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. BTW if you ever want yours mapped contact pyaap he has so much knowledge with these cars it's unreal, he also has a monster S60R that has no expense spared on it.

No have no interest in getting it maped as its a auto just like the nice ride.

That's cool, I didn't realise it was auto.

Ashok is a really nice guy, I used to see him from time to time through the VOC forum. He used to have a rather nice T4 back in the day.

Glad that your problems are on the way to being fixed, though sorry to hear of the extra one that you didn't need!!!

[volvokid]

I think he still has his t4. I've been talking to him and he told me that the Volvo oil that's in the angle gear isn't the best, he recommended I use redline stuff and said he has a box at mrg just use that and replace it. There are some saints out there.

The angle gearbox is it a 2006- on box as they changed it from the early ones,it's said to be better stronger.

[volvokid]

My car is my05 it won't be the stronger one, I'm not sure what I will be getting I would like to think it's a new style. It didn't come today so let's pray for monday

[M-R-P]

I believe Volvo supply the stronger one as a standard part now.

Hope you're all sorted for monday mate.

[stribo]

Sorry to hear this mate, so close, and yet so far eh? Still hopefully you'll be up and running again early in the week.

[volvokid]

Yeah let's hope so, if it doesn't come I will be calling dhl and explaining my situation, because you arent allowed to go pick it up at the depo

I can imagine its a pita being in a hotel and at the mercy of the garage/dhl.....hope your sorted Monday mate.

It's sure is, I wouldn't care if it was only me here, I would just stay in. Having the family here means we need to go out all day and find things to do
