Can anyone help please? It is my intention to remove the headlight wash wipe system from my T5, they are a constant source of irritation and instead I am going to install a washer nozzle/jet on each side aimed at the headlight and I will use the existing electrics, reservoir, pump and pipework. It o...

Thanks Vegas,

Great suggestion, I wil act on it shortly.

Hi all, Instead of fitting an expensive vehicle tracking system, like for example the COBRA TRAK 5 (UK Thatcham approved) at a cost of about £650 sterling plus service and maintenance costs thereafter; can anyone suggest a way in which I could immobilise the ignition circuit on my 1994 T5, so that i...

I cut mine out too with a small hacksaw and if you search the site you will find a thread on how to do this. I did the job, it took 45 minutes including the time removing the old bushing.

James.

I know that this is not an entirely fair comparison, but my 2.5 10v GLT auto box did 70 mph at 2500 rpm and 55 mph at 2000 rpm and tick-over at 900 rpm, mpg was in the region of 30 in or out of town. Sounds to me like yours is about spot on.

1994 Volvo 855 T5 UK Spec 101,500 original miles. Excellent site, I can't praise it highly enough guys!! I appreciate that what I am about to ask is fairly fundamental to all of you, but I am not sure that I fully understand the air flow plumbing on my T5. I have seen various posts on improving the ...
