Got both Axle brackets fitted, 4 new tyres on my Propus rims and handbrake adjusted. Fitted new reconditioned nearside caliper and she now has 12 months MOT with no advisories

Next up is a proper deep clean and condition of the leather seats

Indeed you might......or even heading down to Dunoon this summer. I have yet to go for a proper drive as I have 3 cars in the office carpark so will need to cycle in and chuck bike in car on way home

Runs really smooth though and MOT tester said emissions were perfect

Can anyone tell me where the jack fits in the spare wheel well. I was getting ready to do an interior clean and couldn't find where it goes ? The spare wheel wasn't located properly either as it was just chucked on top of the carpet.All a bit of a mess in there with what looked like a broken strap to hold wheel down

Cheers

Should've said it's the V70 P1

Same as the 850

Presuming it's like mine and has the same jack, the wheel goes in the well face down, the jack goes inside the wheel and the odd hook thing through the jack goes through the centre of the wheel and screws up to hold the jack solid.

edit: beaten to it by 4x4 and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words

Gave the cae another clean today and also did the inside which was a bit musty due to sitting for a few years.

Think shes come up ok considering

Sat in the garden for three years

At my office before any cleaning

After a good clean inside and out

Just waiting on my front indicators and also a door button so I can put front doorcard back on. The old one has been bent and the plastic button was missing. Also fitted a new window switch as that was also goosed
