Looks scary. No idea about the amp thing btw.

Too late now but I always fancied taking the dash top off and getting it flocked.

Hmm & a recovered wheel also..? I do like that soft finish - just got a suede covered steering wheel (to go on a different car)...feels niice

I was wondering if you knew what the amp thing was. I'll have a look later on

Looks great yes i am slightly green

Hmm... Service lights!

Aye I was thinking of the Shark's service light. Wait til I get back I'll post the doobery down to you, didn't have time to sort it out before leaving. In the mean time, let's have a musical interlude:



Speaking of which, I wondering how Kmb is getting on with his

Funnily enough, I saw Mike Joyce at the football on boxing day!

No worries about the light though, I just put my fags in front of it

Nice one, as long as you didn't ask him for Morrissey's autograph

Afternoon all - Quick update was that I tried the service light reset with Barcelona Joe from the forum (he has an 80k miler 850R that he's owned from 1 year old it looked fantastic), he tried with the Draper tool 69007 but unfortunately with no success on either setting.

When I get my hands on an old laptop with XP installed, plus a cable, I'll have a go with FCR

Otherwise I'll have to get attached to that warm orange glow for 2 minutes on every start-up, on the plus side it was balanced out recently as a headlight bulb blew, literally fell apart, which meant there was the same orange glow from both sides of the dash when you started.

At least a quick trip to the petrol station to pick up a bulb sorted that one

just sent you a PM fella. The reset tool I have is a "Volvo Service Reset Tool SIR V", maybe that is worth a go when I'm back. It's worth mentioning for anyone reading that the instructions for this say you need to repeat the procedure up to 7 times

The car is out on loan tomorrow, heading for Liverpool. My pal got fired & went back to the UK to work for a bit so he's going to use this one. Still haven't had chance to swap the brakes over. I have the RX-7 to sort out ready for possibly selling & also a new toy to play with in the form of a nice green, low mileage S60R

[kmb]

Very nice... awaiting the pics

Bought blind, you're a brave man, or just like surprises!

Bought blind, you're a brave man, or just like surprises!

it's a 'known' car mate - from Dream3r on here. But I do tend to buy blind due to being away most of the time. I much prefer to buy from forum members as in my experience it is a more honest process than Fleabay or similar

Message from my pal about the Pork Chop Express:

Volvo getting a bit of attention in office car park, not so lucky with the women though

[jamesy12345]

Back from being on holiday in Runcorn...



Some kerbing to the alloys there...never mind I guess 205 width tyres on 7.5J wheels was a bad idea, my pal who was using the car offered to pay for a refurb but I wouldn't take any money for stuff like that

Tell they to spend the money on parking tuition?

[Doingitsideways]

To be fair, you're lucky they didn't get nicked being that close to Liverpool

Shame about the kurbing like, that's why I'm very select about who I lend stuff to.
My thing is more to buy people whole cars for them to ruin.

Yep could have been worse...


...like the time I let my pal ride my prized KE100 motorbike around a car park, who then smashed into a wall resulting in many many sad little pieces

looks like a nice place to be)
