nothing can beat the sound of the old five pot audi quattro tho in my book!!

[ngrainqey]

is your mig officially dead now then?

im pretty sure the bottom ends dead in my omega, dont think it's pistons though tbh think it's on the crank/bearings!

oh yeah... the s60 timing belt is more than double the omegas so save some money there and also instead of the two idlers and a tensioner there's only 1 idler and the tensioner fits on a small sheet mounting plate almost

150 for the kit with water pump if you know somebody at volvo like there is on the volvoforums.org.uk

[ngrainqey]

oh yeah forgot but to make all you omega owners jealous including myself...
they do a 2.4t (lower spec than the t5 but bigger engine lol) which remaps to 310bhp and 456nm

[ngrainqey]

mmmm another volvo pic

[Del Boy]

color is OK.. Dark colors very hard to keep clean..

S70 T5 or C70 good choice..Acceleration times are impressive..

but be warned parts are not cheap..

lol i know, they're not too bad if you know somebody at a dealers or have VOC membership to get trade

and yes they are quite quick (takes the s70 t5 upto bout 300bhp after remapping it)

T5's can devour front tyres....  Seen new premium make tyres lasting less than 2.5k miles when driven hard.....

When I had my Wreg V70 T5 when through 3 sets of front tyres in just under a year  
By the way I'm also looking for another Volvo 51 or later ex plod V70 T5.

[ngrainqey]

lol thats because t5's are silly
anyway i'v gone and bought a dark blue S60 2.4turbo
which is faster than shit of a shovel! lmao
it keeps up with my mates remapped vrs (about 250/260 bhp)
and the volvos only 200bhp and 285nm of torque hehe!

i'll post some pics up when i'v scribbled out the number plate lol

[ngrainqey]

51 plate as per the pics

[ngrainqey]

"undercover plod..." lol

Lovely looking car mate nice colour too.

Lovely looking car mate nice colour too.

yup had to go 130miles to get it though-well worth it in my book though i wanted a dark blue one tbh as they look an awful lot better than bright red for example (i'v seen one and i nearly looked at it instead of the 2.4t)

they're defo worth going the distance for, moreso if it's the colour and spec you want do you know what to look for on the volvo s60's though?

It's ex police but he says he only wants 1200 quid for it only prob is trip computer doesn't work. It's a bargin though it shouldn't be much different from my old V70. They're pretty bullet proof to be honest as long as timing belt is changed at I think 90K miles or 9 years and they like good oil in them. It looks pretty clean though and he said he'd take the 1200 just don't know if I wanna chance getting it off ebay  :-/

[ngrainqey]

for what it's worth your better buying volvos off autotrader...
they tend to be better cars on there whereas ebay is reserved more for cars that they just want gone or dont want to have to pay as much for the add... if it's worth the cost of an autotrader add then it should be a better car
(plus there's loads of V70's on AT)
there's even a couple of new shape V70's for under 2500!
