What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

[jonesg]

Roadtrip today. Calm and smooth driving got me almost to 37 mpg on the 240 km trip back doing 80-100 kph, about half of each. It's a very smooth car to drive when not punching it.

Wha?
Is it a gas engine or a rattler?

2004 v70 awd.
Rear wheel bearing, not fun but it did fix the noise.
I can finally turn the radio down.

Petrol. Got 33 on the entire tank of 700 km including the way there, some motorway driving plus a short shopping trip.

Imperial liquid measures?

Experimenting a little

Swapped a 120bar power steering pump from an XC90 on my S60 which has a 110bar pump. Steering is lighter now.

While there swapped a 160Aamp alternator from 2004+ instead of the 140Amp (2001-2003) one which is getting a bit too old. The 160A alternator has a different regulator but so far so good, it seems to be compatible backwards (while the 140Amp regulator may not work on 2004+ later cars)

I still have the roll with window tint film waiting in the drawer, I've watched a few Youtube videos on how to apply these and none seem to make this look as an easy DIY.

Default Google conversion measures. Whatever those are.

6,4l/100km in the cars own measure.

Window tinting seems terribly hard to get done well. I've thought about it but dismissed it.

Finally replaced the motor mounts.

Just an oil change BUT THEN I noticed a washer pump had popped out of its grommet at the base of the reservoir.
I pulled the grommet, cleaned its screen and stuck it all back in place.
Voila', windshield washer fixed.

Did the 330' km oil change last week and yesterday I ordered a stage 1 optimisation for the car. Been thinking about it since i got it. When I caught myself looking at BMW V8s longingly I realised it was time for some more oomph

252hp/410Nm. It'll be interesting.
