That sounds promising, will have to have another go maybe find a nice downhill with a wind behind me haha

I was quite surprised by how composed it was at that speed ( i dont know why i expected anything else from a volvo)

I can already tell its going to feel like a snails pace when i get home. i really dont know why we dont have a version of the autobahn in the uk

i think the fuel price would stop most overdoing it though haha i filled up today at about 97p pl at a shell garage made me smile a bit

The early ones are 163bhp stock arent they ? Thats pretty good going did you ever do a 0-60 ?

Yes older ones 163bhp, mine was 223bhp flying machine,never did do a 0-60mph

Sounds like you need to get it fixed and have another go! Let us know what it'll do! I've heard from a few police men that a T5 will do about 160 so it will be interesting to find out what the diesel brother will do!

Thats a pretty good output, what happened to it ?

Unfortunately I sold it to buy a newer vehicle(an insignia) worst move I have done.
Insignia now sat on drive selling hence why I bought another d5 last week.
I will be modifying this one also.

T5 yes 160mph if de restricted I had a 2001 t5 modified absolute flying machine only 6k miles max per front tyres

I have driven an insignia before it was pretty bad ( along with every other vauxhall i have driven )

Not surprised you went back, what do you have planned for it ?

If i had known i was moving to germany i think the t5 would have been the car of choice, i doubt one would be able to do salisbury to central germany (600 miles or so) on less than a tank though

The T5 actually goes off the clock at 160.
