Really lol get a pic up with the largest crack.I thought you taped these up the other day Neil?

[neil1983]

I did tape them up, but I was in abit of a mood and didn't really take any notice of the condition I also only put 1 layer around them.

But I decided to start checking everything again, which I'm glad I did.

I haven't got any pics at the mo as the car is sat at my sisters. I'll get some pics tomorrow if I go round.

Does it drive better then

[neil1983]

I took it for a short drive and it seemed to drive better, there was a slight hesitation but not as bad as it was, but it running low on fuel again so I didn't go very far.

Make sure all the cracks are covered properly Neil if it can arc it will try and get out anywhere possible,and you might find the volvo doesnt like being booted under a quarter of a tank

I'll double check that I've covered the cracks tomorrow.

Before I had all these problems and before I changed the fuel filter, it still use to drive and pull well even with less than quater of a tank.

When i had my first T4 the day i bought i could floor it in first and it would throw everything from the front of the seats in to the back lol ,i parked it up for a week and went back out in it and i had loads of problems,first it was the pump,then i had the wrong but knackered plugs and my coils where knackered.I used to try and drive off and it would hicup and fart and i thought ive not touched any thing so whats going on lol.I changed the parts aprt from the coils and it was better.Little did i no the coils had cracks down them lol so i thought what i could use as a temp fix and came up with the electrical tape idea ,it worked and drove like new,i trashed it everywhere and even went york race way.It never missed a beat
