Does anyone know if a strut brace can be fitted to a 2002 V70 D5 or are performance parts limited to you petrol heads?

The instruction booklet which comes with the strut brace just says is it suitable for the 850/S70/V70 - doesn't mention petrol or diesel I'm afraid. If you do a search on the gallery for strut brace there is a good photo which may help you compare the strut with the engine layout etc.

I think newer cars have a strut brace fitted as standard.

I'm taking delivery of a strut brace tomorrow - following advice on this forum. I assume fitting it is as straightforward as it looks? Does anyone know different?QUOTE]
