This thread really makes me want another RB 182. Anyone wanna buy my Volvo?!

Pretty sure the F4R doesn't like Castrol stuff, or so I've heard on here, not that I've used it myself. Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 in my Clio.

You shouldn't really keep a torque wrench preloaded. Over time it will ruin the workings inside and render the tool less accurate. As an aircraft engineer we're told never to do this, always zero the tool after use!

Very nice @Dr Jekyll I do love an RB, seeing yours makes me want another one! Good luck with it dude, I shall be following the progress thread!

Personally, I use Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5W-40 supplied by Opie Oils, very reputable oil experts, and only 20 minutes away from me! I know some others play around with the weight/viscosity of their engine oils...

The size of those calipers!

Have you got it advertised on Auto Trader etc? I would personally leave the price where it is, for now. If people show interest, and make you an offer then they will low ball you, it's human nature as everyone wants a good deal. You want to compensate for this, so keep the price on the higher...

Looks great @Dr Jekyll and you wouldn't look at it and think it's been lowered, very subtle drop but suits it perfectly. GLWS, very good ad actually, very detailed! One thing I would suggest, has it had the cambelt done? If it has then add that into the advert. The cambelt on these 2.0D's are...

Yeah the Volvo's bearings are incorporated into the hub, rather than the brake disc. You can't buy a lose bearing, you have to buy and replace the whole hub. Pretty straight forward job though, literally jack the car up, wheel off, caliper off, unplug ABS sensor, disc off, then undo the three...

The S40/V50 Sport comes with Eibach springs as standard iirc, so I'd imagine the ride height would be similar to a sport pack'd car, probably the same springs! Carparts4less (Euro Car Parts' cheaper sister company) have SKF rear wheel bearings/hubs for £86 (there's probably a discount code...

Yeah, I've been using Parts for Volvos to price up the parts and as suspension goes it is a fairly cheap upgrade, probably alot cheaper than genuine Volvo stuff! Well this month will be two front wheel bearings and next month will be Billies, Eibachs, top mounts and spring caps. Has your ride...

@Dr Jekyll how are you finding the B4/Eibach set up? Been looking at the same for my V50. How much did the top mounts set you back, if you don't mind me asking?

You didn't miss much @Oli. It chucked it down soon as we arrived, the car park was mobbed and the pub was crowded! Some nice twisty roads around there though, and it was very scenic. Some cool cars in the car park too, a ratty bay window VW bus amongst them!

Yeah, looks like it's you, me and @Dan so far!

Brilliant, are you bringing some Megane guys too @Oli.? If so, could you get some numbers for me so I know how big a table to book. Cheers!
