Done something stupid but happy

[Plodmonkey]

Well as much as all have you said dont but a v70 t5 before 04 well I bought a 02 plate with etm problem but I want a challenge and got some spare time to make it my own. So I have bought MRTREE's ex plod t5 runs but you can tell it needs sorting and a good clean as its just sat their doing nothing got the car for a steal and spent sometime with him and his misses today had a good laff and some good car chat.

so over next few weeks pegs will be going on and giving it a well deserved clean putting standard exhaust back on replacing a few niggly bits and doing a stage 0 tune up then roling roaded then on to the street to see if this t5 power is all you have hyped up to be and made me feel less worthy for having a little turbo on my c70 :p ha.

Would like to thank MRTREE and MRSTREE from me and the misses for waiting out with us for the recovery truck for 3 or so hrs waiting for the recovery truck ha but it was a very nice carvery and hope to see you and your t5 soon what is very smart example of a c70 and must say he can make my c70 shift and me §§§§ my self on a very loverly country road and his driving isnt to bad either

so heres the only pick I took of it so far

[Biff]

Good luck with the project mate, the names much better too!

[stribo]

Nice one mate, the ETM isn't a major problem, and may benefit from just a clean up, but if you can fit a known working unit all the better. A bit fiddly to fit, but James T5 has done a write up on how to fit it.

[M-R-P]

Hope that's the only pic like that we'll be seeing!

In your position, I'd contact a stealer and ask about having a Bosch unit fitted, it might be cheaper than you think and you won't be constantly in search of the next used Marelli unit.

If you need any info/tips etc, give me a shout mate - tired ex-plod being my "specialist subject" lol.

ETM change is easy mate, see my recent thread on the P2 forum. Get a second hand ETM off ebay and bolt it on but make sure it's from a T5 of the same model year to be sure of compatibility. The ETM issue is a pain but really not the big deal people make it out to be and not that expensive to fix either.

Good luck with the car!

Regards

James

Post No. 14 is MRTREE's entry for your car, Since you're it's new owner, I thought it would be good to update the list

With the Rica you should see about 280bhp, depending on the condition of the engine.
