Re: 99 V70. Handbrake works in forwards motion only.

I got them properly adjusted, the adjuster on the right side needed to be removed and lubed up with a bit of copper grease, the other side required just an adjustment.

Car stands still now in either forwards or backwards motion!

Thanks!

99 V70. Handbrake works in forwards motion only.

Hey!

After a little bit of advice, as in, what I need to do to fix the issue. Base V70, 2.5 manual.

About 2 or 3 years ago, the car got 2 new rotors, pads and handbrake shoes and cables (all blue box). Got stuff installed, probably not perfectly adjusted, but the car stood still on hills, pointing ...

Re: New owner with a few problems

1) There is a small (3mm ish) screwdriver hole, next to the headlight switch. If I remember correctly, fully left (press in and turn left) will cause the lights to be off in 0, side lights in the middle setting (with front fogs if you want/ have) and headlight when the selector is fully to the right ...

Re: Strange noise

Maybe you can check the main fuse box (the small oddly shaped one), do you have the relay marked 16 in this picture?

Is your car a UK car or an import?

Re: Strange noise

I have no idea if you car even has it, but I think the SAS pump that the US cars have run for about 2 minutes.

Does the noise come on at any other time than startup?

Re: 1997 Volvo 850 GLT Coolant Question

Hello again!

I will be doing this job next year on mine as preventative, not because of a leak (I think the parts on my 99 are original, I had to replace the radiator and did some hozes at the same time).

I will be using *at least* new hozes to and from the engine (to heatercore), new core and new ...

Re: 1997 Volvo 850 GLT Coolant Question

Hello!

The coolant is clearly going somewhere, but you already knew that. If you can't see where it is going, and the system is not filling up I am guessing it might be a dodgy heatercore or o rings around it.

If you pull up the carpet in the driver and/ or passenger footwell, is it wet? The ...

Electrical contact cleaner and a cotton bud also goes a very long way!

Re: Interior LED lights upgrade with pictures.

I have noticed there are a lot of new LED bulbs out there designed to replace interior lights. New as in since this thread was originally started. I have found some that indicate they are "non polarity." Would this solve the problem of having to re wire? just a thought.

On another note, has anyone ...
