All,
I just replaced my Thermostat on my 2010 S80 3.2 125,000 miles
This is the same Thermostat used in 3.2 and 3.0T XC70, XC90, XC60, S60, SS80, V70 and Land Rover LR2
Note the Thermostat...

Thank you for posting this information.

I am really glad to hear that your XC is happy again.
And based on your statement below you are well on your way
Jon,
Were you racing vintage Bikes or restoring them? Or a little bit of both?
I do agree that the key to success is to sell too soon, that is excellent advice.
Back to your XC70
Its...
