Just replaced o/s/r caliper with a good used part to cure a persistent sticking handbrake.

To be honest I have no idea as my Sister arranged everything. I'm going to Brum Sunday so I'll try and see whats written on the invoice.

Unfortunately they parked the car on broken glass, but the next day supplied and fitted a new tyre free

my first ever DIY oil change - genuine volvo filter, Comline 5w30 fully synth, and a change of plugs just to bring everything into line....

feels silky smooth now

Changed front springs, shocks and droplinks, changed the intermittant alternator for a new one, new ancil belt of course and finally cut a new rubber for the rear wiper.

Waiting for the injector seal washers now.

Now I've done the front end, it rides real tight, like it's on rails. Wish I had done it ages ago ¬.¬

Sick of my faded grey side skirts & splitter I wiped them down with turps and gave them a coat of matte black paint. Weren't expecting much, but they look brand new or like that C4 stuff has just been applied. Car is yellow with pollen now, pics are pointless until the car is clean again.

Threw a bit of trim restorer on the old girl. Amazing what a difference a £3 bottle will make to the appearance.

Gave the '03 1.9D a well deserved wash and went over it with the clay bar.

3 years into ownership and 40k miles later (bought it @ 78k miles) it's holding up well. Good old Volvo

Absolutely thrashed the T4 home from work. 20 miles of turbo goodness.

I love this weather, didn't even have the CD player on today, windows down listening to that turbo sucking in air on country roads is priceless

Burnt off about 3 days worth of petrol in one commute but oh well, couldn't care less today!

I put mine into a parking garage, 3rd floor to prevent it from the floods
