Ben - out of curiosity, is that price for the subframe from NVS supply only or fitted? Might pay to make sure before you suddenly find there's an argument over payment!

I had a long and interesting talk with Lakes (Wyboston on the A1) and shorter but informative chat with the parts peeps at Clive Brooks who gave me the part number and confirmed the pricing and that the subframe is unique to the V8. It may have been a PITA of a week so far but progress on me and the cars is being made. If I do end up nailed to a perch when I should be pushing up the daisies it will be nice to leave two big beautiful fat slag Volvos behind |

Yours sounds like a couple of hours work which is a lot less! Hopefully you won't end up nailed to a daisy or swimming with the perches anytime soon and all will be well, an S80 V8 is still on my lottery list but my winnings need to improve first - last win covered 8 gallons of BP Ultimate unleaded and that was it! That said i should have a nice chunk of change coming my way in about 15 months time so maybe i'll treat myself then although if i do it will be a toss up between an S80 V8 and a Lexus LS400 Mk1 although the thought of a respray for my gold beastie is still contending with those ideas!

you may want to consider this idea again that Lakes (Wyboston) think it is an easier job than I or others did and have apparently already sent a 200 owner in the UK one to fit. They have T6 twin turbos selling to us RWD nutters who want to try fitting that transvere engine in their classic Volvo! Oh it appeals to me but I have enough Volvo's in my life right now and would need to level the front garden to get some parking for a third! I wouldn't want to "spoil" the Goddess by putting a short block six in her.. although I wonder if you could get the turbos to fit her longer block without butchering the bonnet line? Anyway just taken my second does of Poison whilst playing Poison from Alice Cooper now for my "normal" medication with my fringers tingling again with nins and peedles it's hard to trype so I must away and get the tyre pressue monitor out for my ambulance Last edited by nemesisthewarlock; Jan 20th, 2022 at 08:29. |

You probably could fit turbos to your existing engine in your 960 but with all the other mods you'd need to make sure it runs right, i doubt it would be a worthwhile conversion. If you'd bought the car with no engine that would be different, just drop a T6 in, sort the exhaust and engine management, enjoy. With your existing engine you'd need to drop the compression ratio a fair bit and possibly alter the engine management. Have fun inspecting your ambulance, should amuse the crew if nowt else!

Funny thing is it was the same ambulance and same crew so we had a cheer of relief when we passed the blowout spot and actually made it onto the M11 Anyhow got 1.25 hours left on my second pint then an hour to check for any side effects then I will be examining the ambulance that takes me home around 4pm it looks like.... |

Glad you approve of Addenbrookes, i haven't had such a positive experience there but the Royal Papworth was good (aka the Starship Enterprise) except i went there for diagnostic confirmation of one condition and found not only did i have that but another and left with an unexpected "free gift" of what i believe was a mild dose of the Kung Flu. That said the staff were excellent, no tea/coffee or biccies though!
