New Resto-mod XC90 Project
HI have just bought a 2004 XC90 D5 with 112k on the odo. It has been poorly looked after in the interior but the engine seems sound. All the major servicing has been done at the appropriate mileage and times. I am looking to restore this back to its glory and also update/mod it where I can. Which is why I would like advice from you experienced owners. I have the intention of keeping this car until it no longer runs.
I have the regular issues (from my trolling through the forums) that is common from the age: 1. The 'Contact Reel' makes noise when the wheel is turned and the occasional antiskid service message appears. I would like to fix this myself and doesn't look too hard from the forum help. My question is: I have a mate who is breaking a 59 plate and is willing to donate the clock spring to me. WILL I HAVE COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH THIS ON MY CAR? 2. My Radiator fan make a LOT of noise when it is on. I suspect that it is a bearing issue as the fan does its job of cooling off and shutting off after. 3. My rear view mirror is always dimmed. I will probably get a replacement glass and stick it over as I know that you cannot replace them without reprogramming. Photos of ever advance will soon follow. Thanks |
