Since you're not being specific, a search using the keywords R and any particular area would be very helpful to you.

Also try the 850 forum.

Regarding literature, there is some on ebay UK and a post on the wanted forum might also prove useful.

Common R questions are related to performance improvements - personally, I would leave uncoordinated upgrades well alone unless sorted by Volvo tuning specialists.

They will also have horrendous impacts on your insurance premiums - even simple things like strut braces and air filters can make an unpleasant difference.

However the strut brace is something I would recommend - cheap and easy to fit and very effective.

Also check the threads for "pollen filter" - this is an essential and non-standard element of your ECC.

I hope your R isn't as thirsty as mine - or you will have to buy Shell shares.
