You might want to look what part of the forum you're posting in, I doubt any 80 "98-'06 / S60 '00-'09 / V70 & XC70 '00-'07" are under Volvo warranties any more but thanks for spamming the forum.

exactly what I was thinking

Replaced the vacuum lines from the air box to turbo intake pipe, to the splitter and on to the intake manifold.
The old ones were seriously crumbling and really filthy.
New black silicone vacuum lines look so much better.

Gave it a wash after fitting the refurbed wheels, only paid £50 for all four, replaced tyres and repainted them gunmetal grey.

Solved an annoying clunk when tapping the brakes at low speeds on my Dad’s V70 P3. Turned out the torx nut that holds the disc in place to the hub was missing!

Looks like a nice finish. Any pointers? What paint did you use?

I also acquired a set of wheels (thor) recently for a bargain.
