Re: What did you do to your Volvo today? (now Sticky!!)

My first door ding on my S80 happened while I was in my car! I was visiting relatives who lived in a complex and I was in one of their parking spaces. The woman looked me in the eye and slammed her door into my car and had the nerve to tell me "That's what your insurance is for". My car w...

Re: 93 850 the dreaded warm start problems, cranks but no start

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

See the results below :D Volvo1.jpg Volvomotorkap.jpg The clear coat is damaged on the hood. There's also a little rust spot. Anyone with a good tip/how-to to f...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Weather is certainly getting warmer now at a toasty 7°C today, the rain has stopped and the sun is shining so the 850 was pushed out of the garage into the daylight for a while to get some air round it P1.jpg P2.jpeg P3.jpeg Rear brake disc after sitting in the garage for 5 months Rear disc.jpg Fro...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

So, today I went by an old buddy of mine in the south of the Netherlands to pick my summer rims for my S70. A while back I decided to freshen up my run down Columba wheels and thought of powder coating them. I'll post some pics when fitted on the car :D
