Yes the car did not like the track at all it kept trying to adapt its suspension brakes etc but couldnt keep up :( In the end it thought sod it and words "stability program temp off" what ever that means haha.

The convoy home was hilarious, volvo doing about 10mph (nothing new there) fiesta with a re-designed front end and the good old saxo on the back of an aa van exellent day

so your getting a hybrid for it then?

Did the turbo give up under "controlled conditions"

volvo's are old mens cars, driven by old men and made to be driven as if its driven by an old man. not taken round like hamilton

i noticed in the IAM magazine they were doing discounts for IAM members, is it cos most of them drive like old men?!?! even seeing less police volvo's on the road these days.

Yeah. In Swansea they've just got 3 BMW 330d's, one unmarked. The main car is still a Volvo though.

ive noticed alot of series 3 bmw's recently in a variety of colours.

Actually i dont think the turbo has gone, i am having second thoughts as to whats up????

Its running fine now, no noise and no smoke :confused:

Random as i had to limp him 50 miles on back roads trying to keep off boost to stop the horrendous noise from the turbo??

i am confused :confused:

PS gary the car did no such thing, you must have been dreaming it

imagine that, a volvo full of 5 yobs going sideways..... definatly dreaming

is there "Volv-com" which can read the ecu?

i can change loads of stuff like doors unlocking sequence and homesafe light duration and even program keys from it

no fault codes too whihc is strange

boost pressure sensor

EGR valve

intake hose ?

or just didn't like being screwed to within an inch of its life
