Hi chaps
Great day on Saturday a big well done to all the guys who organised it.
It was very good to meet you all have a chat and see so many nice cars there
Pleased to get the numbers it did on the day and already have the bushes to go on but now I am thinking of getting it all poly bushed.
Are there any kits out there you can buy with everything in?
Cheers
Dunc

Hi Dunc.
I'm presuming it was your V70 I saw with the wobbly wheel?

I've done a how-to guide for fitting polubushes if that'll help at all.

It's well worth doing and transforms the feel of the car.

[swimdunc]

Yep that was me.
Any guidance will be gratefully received.
Cheers
Dunc

It was nice to meet you on Saturday Duncan, especially as our cars are almost identical both in age and spec. At least yours is running nicely and made a good figure on the rollers (264 at the clutch iirc). I hope you get your bushes sorted, polybushing is the best thing I've done on mine next to lowering it.

I recommend the Parts for Volvo's lowering kit we discussed, it's well worth the money and makes a huge difference to the handling.....

Right... I've edited the footage I have (may have some more..) do I or don't I add the footage of Dean's car throwing a hissy fit...?

[Saaamon]

Add it, still sounded and looked good.

Well, the footage of it behaving is edited and in but I was wondering about the footage of it playing up..

[swimdunc]

Super write up just what I need.
Just got to get the poly bushes and lowering springs(Thanks for the link James) then get my spanners out.

Any questions, just ask mate. Be careful of the inner CV joint - don't let it wander out of the gearbox - you'll have no end of arse ache putting it right.

It Wouldn't be a Volvo meet without something like that.
