MOT is looming in a months time so i did a once-over to see if there was any nasties waiting for me. I found lots of grease splattered around the offside front wheel and caliper. The CV boot has split right at the Oetiker clamp. I need to fit a reluctor ring on that side anyhow so a wee job for me there.

Drove from stoke on trent to blackpool and back, topped off tank when i got back, fuel added works out to 55mpg.

Found I've bought a complete pup.
All brake disc's shot. And front wishbone rear bush fubared condenser has a hole in it
And that's what I've found so far. Why did the **** did I buy a Volvo?
Going to cost more than i paid for the thing.

VOSA is going to get a call tomorrow. Had the car 2weks with 12 month's ticket
So something not right.

Had the day off today so I thought I would fit a new gator and a new reluctor ring, both on the same shaft. All went very well especially with using the method of using a ratchet tie to get the control arm off the strut UNTIL, and I was being careful, the inner CV joiunt ball cage separated. I've been here before and it took me hours to get it back together, but this time it took me 20 minutes to get the shaft out the journal bearing, get the balls back in the cage and have it ready for refitting. This time I used two jubilee clips and some rope to make sure the shafts could not move apart, fit the shaft back in completely and then take the rope off.....which worked well. The other method I used was to jack the car up by the strut and then attach spring clamps on the strut. Then let the jack down giving me a few more valuable inches to get the control arm off and back on.

fitted the hands free kit, dash cam, sat nav into the car
replaced the door mirrors, hope they demist now

Since my work on Thursday there replacing the gator etc, there is a squeaking/creaking noise coming from the top of the strut now. I can make it squeak by bouncing it on that side. Any suggestions?

Top Strut mount Shadey? I had a similar creaking which developed into knocking at slow speed. Had a Febi-Bilstein top mount fitted by my mobile mec', all quiet since.......
