General Car Chat / Volvo's arn't supposed to break...

« on: 10 July 2009, 16:47:16 »

..my gearbox or diff is a bit toasted lol, makes a nice loud munching noise which increases with speed
so i can either get a new gearbox which im not doing (1700 is a bit much for the pocket on a 2k car lol) so going £400 second hand (diff is part of the unit) so hence expensive
...i didnt think there was such thing as a broken gearbox at 106k miles lmao!
the autoboxes last 150k
anyway thought i'd post this as something to post as i'v not posted much interesting recently

General Discussion Area / engine swap discussion...

« on: 24 August 2011, 19:47:09 »

Hello to the members, been a while since i was active on here
Im fancying an omega again...but with an engine swap to the 2.8T like in the VXR and wanted peoples opinions lol

Based on experience i think it'll probably be a facelift saloon as imo they look better and less prone to rust than the prefacelifts, the ex plod S60 2.4 T5 is fast but its not as much fun as the old omegas were that i had being proper wheel drive lol
I dont know what'll happen regarding the ECU lol, might involve some bodgery

thanks in advance
Alex
