I checked my PCV system today with the rubber glove over the oil filler cap on my S60 T5 with 126k, it’s something I’ve read about on here loads of times, panicked about and always forgot to check, and I’m surprised and pleased it’s working fine.
Cheers, Luke |

Started the V70 today for the first time since February - almost instantaneous start at the first turn of the key even though the alarm has been permanently on - the Aldi solar battery maintainer works wonders.

Ordered two new calipers and two new flexi hoses off ebay, i could just relpace the pistons and seals but feel happier replacing the whole lot, brakes have always felt not quite right since i've had the car, new discs and pads have made a significant improvement so new calipers and flexi's should take them to 100%.

Had a gloopy liquid burst auto dim etc rear vision mirror, the mirror bit. So I grabbed a sound one and pulled and unclipped and unresoldered my programmed electronics into the new housing as although the mirrors were the same part number there were some slight build and moulding changes, modifications. And not a mark on any of the plastic anywhere or from splitting the two halves Because I didn't use a rusty screwdriver or a shovel So I'm happy. Thanks. Only took eighteen months too! I just really wonder how long the rest will take Bone tool! Magnificent!

Replaced both front calipers and flexi hoses, as brake jobs go this was relatively easy to do but suffering now due to doing the job in 29 degree heat.

I fitted the R cluster to my car, but it didn't work. No RPM, no Speedo and no digital readout. Also fitted the newer stalks, with the chrome rings, but they weren't compatible either. Gary

Rest was plug and play. If you get 01-04 S60R dials they should work? |
