All the op wants to do is hit the track in his volvo skyship and have a good time on a budget.he is not interested in ott suspension mods. He isint going to be charging round racing porsche's and high specced polo's and golfs.

Hope he has a good time and he is just in time for ocktober fest so I hope he gets drunk and merry and picks up a nice frauline aswell

I'm not talking about buying uprated shocks or coilovers! I've got the factory sport dampers with h&r 40 mm lowering springs
That is how the car will stay
I will be sticking with my choice to tyres! I have used yokohama tyres on previous vehicles (hillman imp) and had nothing but a good time with them and the hundreds of thousands of other people that use them
I don't care what country's fit what tyres! I will be fitting my own choice of tyre because I trust them

I won't be buying cheep disks!!!!!!!

It's people such as your self that is ultimately destroying the human race, by writing stupidly long dribble over a forum
Making said people read that dribble preventing them from being productive and curing disease ' s and stopping world famine

I honestly have no idea how he hasn't been removed from the forum...

Just do what I did and add him to your ignore list. You'll never have to see his crap 'till someone quotes his post.

Thats right, like some of us want to make a trip to the continent and tie him and beat him a bit with a TUV approved bat lol

Maybe newly registered x40 owners should be made aware of his posting habbits before being allowed to post? Then the shock and awe of the amount of bo11ocks that your first innocent post will attract will not hurt as much?

Unhappy v40 1.9 DS ? DI ? TD?

having trouble finding rear spring & dampener for my 2001 v40, my logbook & insurance policy all state my car as a 1.9DS going off its reg number. Yet whenever i go on ebay or any part website my car is never listed in the model selection for fitment. The closest option is always the 1,9 Di which in theory i presumed was same car, 115bhp 85kw, etc. but it always says part not compatible !?!?!? i am at a loss as to what to purchase & would really appreciate any help, as really like the car & want to get it right.
