[QUOTE=lance;764164]After years of driving 850s v70s p1 and p2 this thread sums up why I bought a v50 t5 instead of a ford sanitory towell (every c@nt has one)once modded it goes like an Rs and because I have a drive badge on the back and a national trust membership I look like another sock and sandal volvo driver instead of a chav down at macds. My favourite volvo so far since 2001 and over 200000 miles of T5 driving The p1s and 850s are too old fashioned now for my taste and work, and the p2s nice and comfortable as they are don't feel driver focus enough for me on the back roads great cruisers though also having a narrow drive and living on a main road meant I had to swing out sometimes to get on my drive which wasn't the best.

What's the stage 3 plans? Diff turbo? Definitely get Shemtek or Tim to shim it first.
