Superb result, Darlo 1!

Total bill is cheap as chips, too.

Mine failed MOT today on ball joint play, track rod play, brake discs too thin and a sidelamp bulb out. I'm pretty happy with that actually. I've got a month to get the faults fixed before re-test anyway. Ball joint is the stand out one, the others are easy peasy.

Ordered up 2 new Lambda sensors, genuine volvo ones with rufe are £178.50 inc. vat each, normal price is £250 inc. each!!

Ordered NTK ones instead which are way cheaper and are OEM.

I parked mine in a small car park near work this morning.

I polished her on weekend with a halfords electric mop/polishing thing.


And now it has bird poo all over rear window and both rear side windows

Gutted....

Hopefully, I will be reunited with mine tomorrow!

Been offshore for the last 9 days and should be flying home tomorrow pm.

Roll on the weekend and praying for good, car cleaning weather.
