We have to wait till 3 months after a PCR all clear before we can get a 4th jab , damn nuisance , great photos Les.
Hows that T6 going , I must be getting better , had a dream the other night of transferring xc60 T6 drive train , engine etc into an 850 race car.
Or should I blame the medication ??
I may have some small parts for xc70 here steve , wait till this rain stops and it warms up I'll have a look.
If the strut tops are that bad I would get some front shocks for it too! No point doing the job twice also what are those wire taps for?

Thankyou!
Yes, 3m wait after cv19 .
I'll test again soon......
The V60T6 has become a smoke machine after slowing down gently say at an off ramp, either turbo rebuild or early incarnation of T6 being susceptible to rings or something I don't recall.....
New car maybe! Still goes so hard though,TDI Box on full power, addictive torque!
Do it, it's no bigger than the 5cyl!

Yeah I see your point of saying change the shocks as well , I was looking earlier as it goes at some kind of cheap kits . Been trying to get the heater to blow hot the last hour . Every hose is hot except the return hose from the matrix. Damn matrix ?
Oh wires not a clue atm ..
OK front suspension , last weekend I was going to email our Legend Ash for suspension parts but I bloody ended up of ebay and just ordered cheap parts to get the car moving for now . This lot arrived Wednesday
The mrs bought me for birthday last month these
Compared to this pos ?
No compensation , anyway . Out with the old
Shocking ? . I'll get four tyres next week . Just went for a drive and the steering wheel has straighted up and smooth as . Thats it for this , no thrills just a workhorse . Now finally time to get the 850 in the shed and strip it down ?
After a couple of months trouble free the last week I've noticed I'm loosing water coolant. I've checked all hoses and come to some kinda conclusion it's the reservoir cap . Luckily I have a brand new one for the 850 so I put that on and will see how it goes.
Some bad news, parked in a car park yesterday and came back to this
? yey !
Onwards and upwards

Farken!
Thats a nice war wound that no one left a note or owned up to. Some people are low lives.
Is P80 cap same value for pressure as the P1?
Check coolant isn't leaking through into the gearbox cooler inside the radiator, it happens and wrecks gearbox.
The run to work this morning should be able to tell me ?
Finally , just as I pulled in the driveway a water hose gave way and lost all coolant this morning . Luckily it's not a major hose but tucked behind the top big hose . I have some spare water hose so it was a free fix
The blue one
No dripping and holding fluid , happy days. I should have taken a picture of the hose that came off , very perished . Not an easy hose to spot as it goes but done now fingers crossed ..
Carefully.
I'm thinking the hose on back of P80 head HAS to be Volvo or it fails.
Is this such a hose?
I got this letter today
Recall on the driver's airbag , anyone else had this done ? Should I get it done ?
Yes , I saw this some time ago , theres been a few volvo recalls

It's the airbag that goes off all by itself dealer recall.
I just got another reminder to do the seatbelt on the P3, the explosive link you sit on inadvertently when you climb in can go off by itself too.
Bloody cars are dangerous!

OK I don't give this car the credit it deserves , as I just bought it for a to b while the R is off the road.
Doesn't sound much but done a little trip yesterday , upto Freo then into Perth then home around 130kms . TBH we were holding our breath wife and myself but not a problem.
Still not fixed the lack of cam sensor , gives it a starting problem big time sometimes ? thinking it maybe worth sorting now , starting to like the ole horse. Very comfortable by the way ??
It'll go great til the auto dies. Enjoy it til it does, they are really nice otherwise. Really top notch seats
