Volvo 850 t5 wagon. 165000 miles, manual with full grey leather. will be detailing the interior and exterior over the weekend. So here's some pics that i took today as only got it on sunday and not washed or done anything on it yet.

Nice one endo, looks sweet, what do you think of the extra power then matey?

ste only drove it home and parked up as waiting to tax it and took it easy on way home but pulled like a train and so relaxed cruising and quiet but did give it a little blast and is fast enough for now maybe have some tuning done eventually as got lots of ideas but waiting till i have the money and once i get used to it will then upgrade it.

165k Miles

....barely run in for a Volvo

it dose'nt feel like it's done that much mileage more like a car with 50000 miles.

I had one for a couple of years. RICA re-map will bring it up to about 280 BHP & remove the speed limiter. Treat yourself to a front suspension strut brace (a Volvo accessory); it will much improve the handling.

yer i know about the rica and strut brace they are things that i have on the list but doing a service first just ordered the genuine volvo parts today.

Any more news?
Have the parts come yet?

no still waiting on parts but gave it a clean under the bonnet and washed and polished the car today.

Useless without pics

yer but i forgot to take them i will take some on saturday and then post them up.

her you go a couple of pics of it after a proper clean and one at oulton park on saturday afternoon and weather was dull there and it rained on the way there and back so car now needs a wash again dam weather in britain.


at oulton park

been and stripped the inlet off to get at the breather system and cleaned it all out and just got a couple of pipes and then it's back on the road knowing that it's breathing properely and not going to blow any seals which is common prob but wasn't even that much shite in it and the holes in the block were clear.

all sorted replaced 2 hose's and new jubilee's used and volvo inlet gasket from dealers cheaper than ebay so bonus and cleaned the system out and now runs even better than it did.

cool, what are your plans now?

have you not sold the sierra?
