    Excess pressure in the coolant tank, with a little cream in the oil. Is this the start of disaster!?

    My v70 R

    Yeah I thought similar... I’ll find someone to repair it.

    It sounds amazing on full throttle with only a little drone at 2k rpm. I was worried about the drone but it’s not to bad at all

    Welcome back, your v70r looks lovely and that exhaust looks amazing, would you mind if I asked how much it cost for the full system front to back.

    A bit of money, but looks a quality build and a very tidy job too.

    Yeah true. I didn’t fancy anything off the shelf and for turbo back I recon it’s the going rate...

    So this is the damage...

    So

    Full engine rebuild on the way.
