Thought I was going to have to go for new reluctor rings due to this:

(Rubbish pic, but think you get the idea)
Then read that loose drive-shaft bolts can cause mayhem with ABS warnings! No codes found.
So going for the 'easy fix' first....... Found this!!!!!

The only thing holding the bolt in was the dust-cap!
The last time it was touched was by the mec' who replaced the top strut's mount for me last year!
It's back in now at 35Nm + 90 degrees after being cleaned up and loc-tited. Supposed to be replaced I understand.......
The car is off on a 2hr each way jaunt as I type, so glad I found it before SWMBO left!

Hi All
Just took my XC 70D5 on a road trip to Amsterdam for the weekend.First long trip in the old girl and clocked up just over a thousand miles. Really impressed with the comfort and economy of the xc70
Looking forward to the next long trek in this vehicle. Should have bought one year's ago if I knew it would be this good

Took my 07 S60 2.0 auto for it's MOT.Passed with two advisories both front wheel valves starting to crack.

Fitted front subframe polybush inserts.

Taking into account cost (£18), difficulty (schoolboy level), time (less than an hour) versus improvement, it's probably the best job I've done on my car.

Put some led 501's that i had in my old v40 xenons into my headlamp side lights, looks much better when they are on will look even better when its dark.

Hi Simon
did the subframe inserts make a big improvement ?
Thanks Dave

On my 190+k miles car, they have made a significant difference.
I didn't think I needed them to be honest. I just bought and fitted them on a whim.
Such a simple concept too which avoids the need for expensive rebushing of the subframe so top marks to whoever thought of it.

Hi Simon
Thanks for info, I will fit some to my D5, only 70,000miles on mine
Thanks Dave
