Hi all,
Thanks for your responses. Some updates below: - Brakes were the 302mm so I sent back the incorrect 280mm. Bedding in nicely all round. All brake flexis get changed tomorrow with another fluid change. - I've purchased all the parts I need for the cambelt change as follows; Continental timing belt kit, QH aux belt. I would like to change the water pump just because of the mileage, but don't want to fit an after market one (genuine Volvo is £80 from Caffyns on eBay). - My total suspension rebuild kit is here and comprises of; TRW gas front dampers, KYB front top mounts and bump stop kits, Febi front spring upper rubber perches, Febi PRO kit front inner tie rods/outer track rods/steering boots, Febi PRO kit front wishbones (2 bolt), Febi rear upper shock mounts, Sachs gas rear dampers, Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs. I think it would be prudent to have the timing belt changed before the suspension; I'll call my friend tomorrow. |

I need new front discs on saffy so playing safe and taking them off and getting a tape out before ordering Defo new roller tensioner and with that mileage Aisin / genuine water pump Bet a tenner your coolant is well overdue for a change. Do flush and replacement when do pump Forgot to leave my number last time - 07711 669 355 |

Cheers all
I bought a genuine water pump from Volvo, and then decided to add a genuine thermostat and seal to. I'm now thinking with 263K that I should change the top hose for a Gates one aswell! |

Forest Gate, just off the Flats Never seen an 850 or 70 R in the 23 years I have lived here save a red 850 with pale trim which disappeared years ago If the guy you mention is an enthusiast would be very interested in touching base Which street is he in ? |
