almost finished with the vacuumhoses,still 1 to go,you have to be under the
car to replace it.

i followed up your advice

That looks really good i wish i had that idea before i did myne i bet you will have set a trend off
Not really a new trend Pete,there allready a few of them around(volvo850forum.nl):wink: That's were i got the idea from,but thanks
hello mate and welcome. nice car
well there are a few things worth mentioning:
-2 leds replaced (front fog lights,tracs)
-left brake bulb replaced:funkybana
-wednesday it's going to the garage,wheel bearing(lb),and a new thermostat
there is always something going on(if you want to keep it perfect),ofcourse
have to take in mind ,it's 12 yrs old:shhh:
next week new MOT
Well it failed the MOT,due to a couple of things: lights not correctly adjusted-sorted:smile: co too high -waiting for a new lambda probe(sonde):jaw: brakes not original(duhh) -302 mm and goodridge braided hoses:wtf: Here in Belgium there not to keen on tuning. Still will not alter brakes(downgrade),for safety???:wtf: Have to wait for the new part then do a recheck.
