Re: Got myself a new whip
Thats the thing Steve, they technically aren't slow (for their time atleast) but yeah in comparison to my 300 it does feel a bit like a tractor :lol: I fully agree on the wheel front aswell, they are a nice design just a shame they didn't do them in bigger sizes. VND- I feel i can justify saying i'm...

Re: Got myself a new whip
Thanks guys, to be honest it would be hard for you lot not to like it, i mean it's a Volvo after all! How tech were Volvo boffins back in the day, i ask as everytime it hits 75mph upwards it makes a horrific screaching noise from the dash. I know mechanical speedo's can spin and make a squeal, but t...

Got myself a new whip
I had an itch which needed itching and i've always wanted one of these. So last week while doing my usual thing of looking at various bits of automotive tat i had the urge to make a compulsive purchase. This was helped by the fact the car in question was nice and local (only 7miles away) and rather ...

Re: Cap over front wheel bearing.
If this is a proper garage you paid to do the job and not just a mate in his lockup, i'd suggest you MAKE them obtain a new one for you as it's not something they should just forget to put back on and loose. As for alternatives maybe a deodorant lid or something similar would fit, but i'd only see i...

Re: mintex MDB1150M1144
From what i read on some other forums via google is that the pads will wear out a disk, (mark it, put stripes on it) not the other way around. But if thats not the case on the 360 i will replace the whol shabang My general understanding is if you put new pads onto old discs they will wear quicker d...

They also make the ride less harsh, you don't feel like your going to break your wrists when you hit a pothole

Re: Help needed!!!! 2l turbo project
I've often wondered if this conversion was possible as my dads old 21 Turbo was a proper road rocket.
I hope you get it sorted and don't give up on the project.

Re: Derrick the Volvo! (Prop shaft fail)
I think we put more miles on ours that you do. When yours breaks, I'm guessing it's no big deal. For people like chris and me who do 20k a year it's important to have everything right. btw - OT. Your name came up in a conversation with KevFromWales at the weekend. Apparently you recognised him inst...
