Had some tinting film given to me, had some spare time, things happened... Not sure on them yet, they'll either grow on me or they'll be off by the weekend..😂

Forgot to answer your pm sorry

I use genuine volvo seals, not expensive at all. No different to any other car either really as far as installation. Just make sure you've had your weetabix before you try and undo the pulley bolt and do it backup again! She is mighty tight!!

Lovely looking car you have there, pity about the headlights. Just my opinion, but wouldn't be for me.

Kinda glad I had a look at the oil leak.... Crank seal had blown spectacularly and soaked my cambelt... Close shave...😬

Last person to do the cambelt was a full bore f*#ktard though... Spent more time removing and replacing round bolts than anything else, he definitely didn't own a torque wrench either..[IMG]

I think the same knuckle dragger must have done mine when I first got it! How did you get on with the final bit of tightening on the crank bolt?

Got one of the other lads hanging off a 4 foot holding tool we made, and me sweating on the breaker bar...😂 Fitted a new cam seal, new crank seal and dropped the oil and filter while I was there. She sounds a lot better now. 👍🏻

Put my V70 XT that i purchased last month in for its MOT yesterday, passed with pinhole advisory on centre exhaust and low tread on rear tyres. I have already got a set of spare alloys with good tyres. Good for another year which is always a relief. It is surprisingly clean underneath bar the usual rear exhaust bracket. Will have to replace the centre box before next years MOT but not bad for a £200 ebay bargin.
