I found this very enjoyable and easy to read. Having done so, I will be taking the liberty of removing this task from my bucket list. ;-) Converted an different vehicle from auto to manual many years ago. Fun and satisfying, but I have learned to love my automatic. This is a very nice write up and a...

You do realise this is a Volvo website?

The part has various names, Engine tray is one. As to where you get one. Jaguar dealer or look for parts yards.

Public Service Announcement Parts are getting/have been end-of-lifed at the dealer (EOL), and 850s are (alarmingly) hard to find in pick n pulls. If I had land and a flatbed, I'd be pulling them onto my property like a comic book super villain and his super magnet. It is, after all, the greatest pa...

I built the original input model in cardboard to verify fit, then a nicer one out of black foamcore, then built it digitally in Rhino. I even made a presentation panel for it.

Toto, we aren’t in Hershey anymore ( sorry for polluting your maintenance thread)

I literally replaced my oil cooler lines with bluebox new parts the day before he announced he was blocking off the cooler channels from now on. I could have saved $300. Oh well, need to source a plate before they leak again in 100k miles. Well the good thing is that you can rest assured that your ...

Alright, since I opened the topic, I might as well close it. I am done, my 96 R now has a quaifed up M56H 4.0 and 270 hp. It is scary fast and torquey compared to before. If feels 50% more powerful than my 94 T5M. Since a buddy of mine who is a mechanic specializing on race car builds could be convi...
