Good thing it's under warranty. It'd get eggspensive fitting a new one every 6 months otherwise.

NO! it was 2ltr turbo petrol and for a volvo it was impressive
it was a s60

couple of times had it skittering around scrabbling for grip

cleaned out the sedimentor bowl and then found the bottom intercooler hose was loose:doh:
the times i've checked those hoses:frusty:
i hope thats sorted out the smoke screen when towing the pikey wagon.

i'll have to go on holiday to find out

Ive been really busy with my landy over last week or so ive put some spot lights on front bumper made a roof light bar and put 4 lights on that also i have put to cobra buckets in it to just need to buy some harness's now.
Im buying a safari snorkel kit tomorrow and hope to have that fitted over the weekend and make some rock sliders to

haa...that's alright then, but even so, the S60 is a heavy lump to shift

Jet washed Wiltshire off the underside of D71s Disco to reveal the lace curtains that have been supporting his battery

Will try and oblige if I remember

Today i started pulling out my front swivels.
Just as well, really, as the D/side has a set of missing gaskets, torn oil seals and worn swivel bearing packs. Oh, and next to no lubrication ..... :frusty:


Kinda dreading doing the d/side.

I lifted the bonnet to start investigating the black smoke screen created when pulling up hills...and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the intercooler to inlet manifold hose hanging off..one new jubilee clip later and its all sorted
