Always the way, as soon as you buy a car, something else comes up that you could have had.
I spent over 6 months looking for a nice 540, thinking if i see a nice s40 t4 auto come up, i'll have that instead, but none around.
Finally find a decent 540 and a few weeks later, up comes a t4 auto, then another one last week.
Bloody typical. lol

A little update on this. Have just purchased the car a present, not keen on the Thor alloys in the slightest so after a refurb it will be sporting these new boots:

Nice
With a little TLC, they'll look the mutz. (not that they don't already)
Seen JUDGENINJA's refurbed wheels? look spectacular on his motor (different wheel but I thought I'd mention it)

Neb's are lovely looking wheels, first dibs on a Thor if you sell them individually
Well I bit the bullet and paid a visit to eurocarparts today and bought a new IC, logic being all things pointed towards it and if nothing else a new IC on a ten year old motor wont do any harm.
I probably paid slightly over the odds at £190 for a patent part however I needed it solving as I have alot of driving tomorrow and Saturday.
I got her on the ramps today and with the help of a t5pete began work, all in the swap was far easier than expected and took only an hour and a quarter.
As soon as the top panel was removed the signs and symptoms were present...
Many thanks for your help today Pete!
Heres the dirty derv between two immaculate Volvos

yep quite a nice bow on that. I did mine with the bumper in place, but think it took a bit longer than 1.5hrs. Has it cured the smoking?

Looks good matey!
Good effort on the new IC!
They certainly were, picking them up tomorrow.
Yep I agree, I think along with Pegs, they are one of the few that suit most Volvo's and dont look dated.
Cheers Pete, was much easier than we thought it would be... despite having to dismantle the entire front end!
I'm on the lookout now for a P2 V70R or S60R Front bumper
