You'd never reach 100 mph there without being snapped!

No, nor would i be driving a fricking Volvo!

stellamon · Nov 27th, 2015, 12:19

Fitted a new engine top mount bush and another new expansion tank

I took the lid off the airbox and hoovered all the sand, dead flies and dry leaves out the bottom. ...car's overdue a service I think.

Another service complete. Oil and all filters, as well as a new stainless steel rear exhaust hanger that cost a small fortune from Volvo. Only been 3587 miles since the last service. All sorted for another 6 months

Both off side wheel bearing units renewed by local independent, 10,000mls after noise started !

General road speed related noise from 50mph developed from Feb2015 when 2 new front tyres fitted. At first thought it was tread on new tyres. Noise gradually got worse until noticeable from 30mph and disappears on RH bends. Both differential and bevel gearboxes ok, no play but slight roughness on both off side bearings.
Its now like riding on a magic carpet,

Did my inner CV boot with a stretch type and cone...easy, but I will re-do the clips next weekend having ordered some proper 'ear type' pliers.

If I was doing it again, I'd go for an original boot. Now that I've done it, it's not a horridly complicated CV joint - it's a tripod style CV joint with a three-legged cross or trunnion with roller bearings on the end. I reckon I could easily remove the circlip, slide the 'rollers' off and simply slip the new boot on, as the joint comes easily apart anyhow (with no horrid risk of bearings everywhere due to the trunnion design)
