Changed my old VOLVO letters on the boot lid, which were the small "close together" design, to the newer, spaced apart design. Also, changed my front grille from the old small badge to the big badge type.

Auxiliary and aircon belts changed. While I had the wheel off painted the calliper silver. Looks much better than the rusty brown colour.

Ordered 4 new 18" Bridgestone A005 All Season Tyres (after seeing it snowing this morning). Will let you know what they are like next week.

Fitted a Bluespark CR Tech tuning box. The cheapest £79 one. Used a couple of these before with great results. They quote extra 30 bhp and torques and you can feel it but the best bit is the smooth low down power delivery.
The Bridgestone's are great too. Very quiet and grippy. Looking forward to a bit of snow for once.

https://youtu.be/H0y2mkZy7WA I used these pry bars: https://www.halfords.com/workshop-to...ed-pry-bar-set And I found my grille on eBay. I had a quick look, there’s one here: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F282988300662 NB: Always be cautious when buying from eBay, and make sure you buy a grill with clips that haven’t been broken when it was removed. |

Changed the aux belt and aircon belt.
Tensioner a bit rough so swapped that out as well. Hardest part? The aircon stretch belt. A thick piece of cardboard between the pulleys and the belt helped it slip on 😉. Job done 👍👍
