Used a large set of swan neck pliers but didn’t seem to be a problem, maybe it did it before, I’ll bleed it anyway just to be sure

I’ve google it and seems straight forward, start on the nsf then osf nsr then osr I thought it would be more complicated

Beyond my knowledge Datatek, sort of feels normal but don’t remember it doing that before, as I said once driving it’s as before, maybe I should bleed the brakes anyway, the fluid seems pretty murky in the reservoir

No didn’t have any issues, all seemed to go well, can’t see any loss of fluid and once driving the pedal feels good not spongy,

so today’s job was replacing the pads on all 4 corners of the rangie, easy job so wasn’t stressing, All replaced with no dramas, jumped in the car to pump the brakes to take up the slack as you do, pedal to the floor the first few times as expected then hard pedal, great. After a few seconds I...

So I’m considering changing from my 2004 td6 to a 2007-8 tdv8 My question is do all the tdv8’s have the auxiliary heater that can be programmed to come on before you go out? It’s the best feature in my td6, I wish I had the remote option but it’s geeat to set it for 20 minutes before I need to...

ok folks, after some help if possible, 1996 300tdi starts smoking from around the steering whee area of the dash all electrics fail but engine still running, obviously stopped the car, turn ignition back on and the electrics all start working again with no smoking but car won’t start. Any...

Yeah I’m thinking that, especially when it’s still under warranty, if they will replace it!!!

Battery is under 12 months old, tested ok with a drop tester, not amazing but ok which I guess is.... well... ok It appears to go to sleep but haven’t had time to properly check, My old l322 had a slightly loose nut on the blow off valve, only found it by mistake, had stumped a technician for 2...

So I swear it’s done it just to fry my brain but car started perfectly well this morning and again this evening, I’ve set the aux heater for 5.15 in the morning as starting early and to put a bit of strain on the battery to see if it plays up. Gotta love the green oval !!!!!!!

Ok so got the multimeter out this morning, running with nothing switchable on 14.4V Heater and stereo on 14.1V and that plus lights 13.9V Would that suggest the alternator is ok? I’m thinking maybe it’s got a drain, but must be quite a big one to flatten the battery enough in 8 hours to not turn...

I’m not getting any dash lights but I guess it hasn’t failed completely if at all, Maybe I’ll try with a multimeter instead of relying on the diagnostic kit, All the connections look good Is there a way to find out exactly what output I should be gehtting from the alternator? I did expect 14+...

So yesterday I drove 100 miles round trip to the shops (boring) This morning drive my 3 miles to work, Get back this evening to a completely flat battery, wouldn’t even turn it over a little. Had my jump pack in the boot (this ain’t my first l322 rodeo, I may not have the sense to buy a Volvo...

So the works 2007 110 camchain tensioner failed the other day causing what seems like terminal engine damage, im surprised as it’s only done 110000 miles and hasn’t had a hard life, Anyone else had similar issues? It’s a 2007 2.4tdci The garage are considering replacing the damaged head but...

I looked Halfords, got to go there to pick up a battery so I’ll take a look at them, have a trade card so might get them even cheaper

Lol that my usual style of towing to be fair, only issue really is reversing it into my drive, Just figured I’d ask in case someone knew of a place selling decent ones at a good price. No it’s got a rear bathroom so no help at all

so...... it almost pains me to have to mention that I’ve borrowed a friends caravan to go to the MotoGP at the weekend, I’m really not a fan of them but got to be better than a tent, I towed it back to my house today and as expected the rangie was perfect for the job, My only issue is I can’t...

Ah ok I did wonder at what point the voltage would cut off, any idea if a split charge or similar could be fitted to the rear fuse box? I did see someone had put a second battery underneath the fuse box to assist with starting

So in the pursuit of keeping drinks cold I’ve bought a coolbox from Halfords, does the job well, it says it will keep things 15 degrees below ambient temperature which is ideal, and does work very well. I used it yesterday to keep drinks cool at a party in a field with no electric supply...

So I noticed on the SC I briefly had that it had an undertray underneath the engine as well as under the rads, did the td6 have one fitted? Both td6’s I’ve owned haven’t had them but previous experience with a Volvo tells me it makes for a quieter ride, just wondered if it’s worth fitting one...
