Everyone on here says changing the plugs is the best bang for bucks improvement you can make, and I agree mine feels like a new car when the plugs get done, air filter change really helps too. I Use Volvo plugs or Ngk iridium tipped. You should check if any of the nutters over on T5d5 are setting up a dyno day anywhere near you in the springtime , it lets you check the actual output without forking the full cost out if you go alone.
Make sure you change the oil out for fully synthetic that beast is going to need it!
Keep us updated on how you get on with it, I am kicking myself for not having jumped on a flight to buy it, never mind I would probably have wrapped it round a tree by now, the T5 is addictive enough.

Hi Orca2.
The car has now had all filters, spark plugs, and fully synthetic oil flush / change. I really noticed a change after the air filter & spark plug change. Just the transmission flush to do, and cabin filter. Have you ever changed the cabin filter yourself?.. I looked through various clips on youtube, but theres no recent V70 films on there... Im presuming its at the back of the centre console somewhere ( on the passenger side )... Also ive been using the tesco 99ron "Momentum" as well as V-Power. This also seems to run pretty well...
