Not done yet, but fully removed the rear suspension. Gotta clean and paint the trailing arms and hopefully get some crust off the rear subframe before I reassemble.

Are the earlier R’s only fwd and manual?

I want this garnet red v70(R). Got some miles on it, but interior is black, the colour is nice and the rear end with only 1 exhaust tip is a real understated look for th power it has.

Too bad I don’t have the budget for it.

Europe had different options to what we got in NA. I know my buddy in Germany has a manual AWD 98 V70R. The 850 T-5R and T-5 was FWD, here but don't think there were manual options, but many have been modified.

Then there are those who modify the auto AWD to manual FWD. FWD would be great as it removes the AWD which has many NLA parts and are a pain to work on at the rear of the car.

I've installed LED bulbs on front indicators with theirs resistances. Rear bulbs are not arrived yet. In Grenoble, most people drive as they were on the 24 HOURS LE MANS. To signal you are going to turn is a survive question...

It's called 422 turquoise metallic! At first, I didn't like the color at all, but you see it so rarely that it's cool again

I've replace :

the camshaft sensor pulse

the coolant temperature sensor with a DIY tool

the throttle position sensor (the clip broke down)

I have a question about the cruise control system. Here's a picture of the vaccum pump under the battery bracket. Does it seem normal to you ? I 've read a PDF file showing 2 switches on brake and gaz pedal. I've got only one ont hte gaz pedal. Should i have two ?

To conclude, i've ordered and receive a Fuel pressure regulator, this one, but i didn't find one on my engine. As Neil and Vova said, i went to a garage to make fuel pressure to be controlled. Everything is okay and values founded are what where expected.

This is the part i've got on fuel line that goes to the injectors rail. May i have your mind on that part ?

Thanks to those who will hepl me understand.
