All I know is I've had a thing for them since I was small and my dad had one, I hope it's a manual.

I so wanted a manual but at 250 I couldn't say no just for me as a daily barge! I dislike autos but oh well lol.

All I know is that they are massive, quite rapid and favoured by people that have beards, smoke pipes and drive whilst wearing slippers....

I thought it would be an estate mate, well at least your not a serial killer, didn't Fred west once own a Volvo estate... Lol

Carbon would be epic but you'd have to do the whole car.

if its like on bmw it blows the turbo seals when they block up...

but cheaper and "easier" than a turbo if it cures it

Mates got two, just bought one last month and took it to the ring last week.

Apart from an hose rubbing on the gearbox and leaking, ran like a dream.

He has a T5 and the one above is an 850R.

 

[Richy200]

Lush! I want this to tide me over until i get a 850R in yellow hajaj

Seems to be alot of knowledgable people on it, and no idoits. I'm on it myself, despite lack of Volvo ownership!
