Happy with the work this weekend. Long overdue fuel filter change. Don’t know if it had ever been done and car at 179k. Definitely can feel the difference in the engine. Revving much happier! Also stitched a new leather steering wheel cover on. Feels great in the hands. Not concourse result but for ...

I need this sorted. So after finding useful posts here from others I have doubled up. Removed the new core, and applied a very thin sliver of silicon gasket to both mating faces, reset the O rings. (New ones supplied with core - prob not OEM) I also have replaced the screw with an M4 nut, washers an...

Did you feel any difference from the MAF cleaning? I don’t believe mines ever been done. I did nothing to my V70 today, except drive it! It was the first longer journey, 150 mile round trip since doing a fair bit of engine & suspension work with refurbed 16” steels, Michelin crossclimate 2s and ...

I’m too far in to my V70 to change but I do have slight envy of the 850 interior. It seems a little more ‘robust’ and utilitarian than the mk1 v70.
I’ll be happy with what I have!

Have you checked the roof? I had this on my v70 (no roof rails) The blanking plates for the roof rails were old and no longer weatherproof. This led to a dripping through the roof by the front door which I originally thought was door seals. Whether you have roof rails or not I’d check these areas fo...

Successfully fixed a warm start stalling issue. If the car was warm it would stall immediately after starting unless you gave it some throttle. Replaced the thermostat & temp sensor. Cleaned the throttle body which was very dirty. But I think what did it, was a hose connecting to the rear unders...

Interesting white the white,
I’ve ordered a spray can of the stardust colours go chrome for mine, will post results as they are corroded now and very poor.

Interesting,
I have decided to go with the standard 205/55/16, I’m sure Volvo knew what they were doing!
Crossclimate 2s after reading lots of positive reviews.
Getting fitted today all being well. Thanks.
