I've only gone and done it! V70 T-5

[SB1909]

Tonight i've bought myself a manual, dark blue, 1997 V70 t5, It has 170k on it & needs some work. But i got it cheap, really cheap

It gets delivered tomorrow and ill get a proper look at it then. took it for a quick run around the block and at 3k when the boost kicks in and that 5pot makes all the right noises i was all smiles & was sold
Ill throw up some photos tomorrow when she gets here.

Looking forward to getting it on the road and having some fun!

I hope that is a genuine Volvo piece of wood, these cars dont like non oem parts.

Do you know who has nicked your window reg and speaker leaving you with your non genuine wood. If not I'd be wondering who I was working with

[SB1909]

Oh the bodges! ABS lights been pulled out, fault codes
ABS-443 Pump motor - Electrical or mechanical fault.
ABS-433 Outlet Valve, left rear wheel. fault in the valve coil circuit.
ABS ABS-112 control module general fault.

Whilst on the ramp i did notice the brake line was just single line to a splitter at the rear and thought that was odd and thought nothing of it, obviously had an issue with abs and pulled a brake pipe off and blanked it and ran both rear brakes of the single!

The wee !
Also noticed the engine light does not either but no faults in that so must just be the bulb. Ill best look in to this further before i do any more! does anyone on the forum do abs module repairs?

Im not sure whether to be pissed or laugh about it, perhaps both! Onwards and upwards!

[t5 pete]

Yep the abs will be the ecu wobbly dave does them
And yes there should only be a single line to a Y piece to the rear brakes

Really! thats surprising id have thought it was dual line (im sure my 850 was) Ill go try find wobbly dave and see what he says. thanks!

Not much of an update stripped front brakes. Drivers side caliper was seized so popped the piston and seals out cleaned up and refitted although really need to be replaced, anyone know where i can get a piston/seal kit? Also looking to stick new disks pads all round as mine are gubbed, anyone used this kit from ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/850-T5R-95...411e#vi-ilComp (I assume there isnt a difference with 850 302mm discs and v70 and are the rears 280mm)?

[SB1909]

OK so done a full stage 0 service on her, discs on the front done ill do the rears tomorrow! paint all the calipers black not a fan of the red. Stick a belt on and then see about getting an MOT done. also finished of the rear exhaust that was missing its not pretty but it will do for the mot!













also planning to go pick up an s70 tomorrow to get the trim that i need then it will be broken and scrapped unfortunately!

my old 850 popped in for a visit too

[SB1909]

What a difference a nice set of factory wheels make over brush painted Sh*te!







and yes i bought a whole car for the wheels and tyres (and some small bits of trim)
