I'm guessing that the garage did all the required, they are known to work to a high standard, especially on older cars (not that that makes too much difference in this case) I will measure the pedal clearance, but in the back of my mind I was thinking it was the syncro, but transmission is not my ar...

I've always been tempted to get a new (uprated) 5 turbo from someone like K-TEC, but I want to do a bit of reading up first, I'll have a look in the uni library, they have all sorts of random stuff (including a nice 3" thick book on the wankel engine!). Also have a 172 on the drive at the mo, but it...

Might have to do some more research into the turbo, insurance is quiet low for me now. Always got put off by peeps saying its not poss, but it must be. Anyone got anywhere good to look (or books) for turbo info, i.e. calculations and theory? Off hand, how much difference would pipe lengths make to t...

I took mine behind the glovebox (carpet under it comes out if you take out the four poppers) then as 5lab says just run it under the sills. Cant see it at all :D

Are you sure its the right side? I used to have a "clunking" noise, turned out to be whoever fitted the old exhaust didn't line it up, and you could see where it rubbed on the back skirt, but it only did it when I was loaded or people were in the back

Ahh, mines stood the test, I've had it for 3 1/2 years and it still is on the original driveshaft (though it does sound like it's starting to slip :() As for tuning, yeah, not much as far as I can see. Still think it must be possible to get a 5 turbo on there though, but people who know more than me...

LOL!! Glad that it wasn't just mine it happened to, I too had the sheepish look and geezer saying "sorry mate, I just cracked the new one" Wonder if they break more than they put in.... (Oh, yeah, after that it leaked too, seemingly if one cracks, they get scared and don't use enough goo, might be w...

Never wishing to lower the tone, but there were quite a lot of bra's on the last page!!! I guess it a Norwiegen bra isn't a bra??;) (or failing that I'm not on the Volvo forums any more!)

Thats what I thought, surely moulds alone would be more? But yeah, if you can do it, I'll do everything possible to join in, even if it has to stay in the garage til I can get it sprayed!

How difficult is it James? I'd most likely be up for it (well, if the loan is happy, I'll definately be up for it!)

How did you come to that price?? (just curious, I'm wanting to rebuild my front valance you see ;))

Mine did this once, managed to fix it within 5 mins of it starting! Check the earth going to the stalk switch, (if your's is a mk3 you do it thus....) Pull the centres of the 4 fastners and unscrew the choke knob (if you have one). drop the cover over the ignition, remembering the light will still b...
