Awesome job, just shows what can be done when you want something and believe you can do it.

With modification skills like that, I don’t know what you do for a living but bespoke car modifications...

I had the same problem by catching the button with the seats down and freed it by giving it a good yank busting the button in the process.

Now the button cost what $4 (£2.5) but my dealer...

I had the same requirement and picked up 4 extra original XC70 wheels and tires for USD 600 from ebay and that included shipping. They were not in the same pristine condition as my own ones but as...

Yes! within the last couple of hours going dowwn a dirt track other half need the stability from as car swinging from left to right despite a sort of a reasonable speed :rolleyes: .

If you are not in a hurry put a search on ebay, I have got a load of good stuff off ebay for the '70 if you are prepared to wait and pass something up if its too pricey or poor quality.

Have to say I am with littlewaywelt on this as whilst the 3rd seat does have its limitions it does save often using 2 cars but I would not want to have the seats belts and grate up at the same time...

and some more along with XC60

You are right Mike, according to todays Autoexpress the XC60 is based on the Freelander from Range Rover, of course also part of Ford.

See the full text here along with pics, also has blurb on...

There was me thinking a while ago of getting an LPG upgrade for the engine when it seems a simple chip upgrade will do the job.

What did you do in the end , stay with the extra KM's or go for...

I think it is the opposite of standard, in that in the V70XC classic it was standard but the new (current shape) it has always been an option. So in effect unless it has been fitted at the time of...

Being based in the UK and looking to an increased use of the XC70 I have been seriously considering an LPG upgrade to take advantage of the rather cheap fuel £0.97 for petrol per litre vs £0.49 for...

I often change the pressure to suit who and where we are driving. I leave it 30 psi all round for general driving as my wife likes a soft ride , I prefer a firmer ride so take it up to 33 / 34, if...

I am sure I can work it out , its just in the event I am unsure I have somewhere to go. Appreciate its in hard copy format so its not as though its a PDF you can send. If you don't mind if I have an...

I have been lucky enough to pick up on ebay a couple of the bike rack lifters with the gas strut to assist with lifting on and off the roof. See this if you are not sure what it is I am refering to. ...

I am in the process of moving house otherwise I could give you the namebut I was advised to use same gunk as used to clean carvans. Horrible green stuff when you put it on but last sometime. I'll see...

I often drive with it on but not always, never seen an issue though I could relate to the electrics.

Not yet as put on winter tyres and didn't have a chance to play with the NRVi, but I will do :D

Its only one direction but different direction depending on what side you are on which is why its confusing, need to add that to the instructions! The idea of lining up the green and white dot is to...

And very happy with them so far.

I put them on mid summer on a new set of XC wheels I picked up off ebay, so have summer set and winter set of wheels / tyres, Winter set being the tyres off ebay...

If you have a look at this thread you will see some instructions and pictures from me how to do this, see here

Any further questions drop me a note, I do it quite often. BUT one thing be careful...

I have looked into these and didn't need at the end of the day any more cargo space as had enough with roof box. However, did go for a hitch mounted bike carrier which can support 3 at once.
...

What happened, I enquired sometime ago about this and got a quote of £1800 +VAT last year, didn't do it. Starting to consider this again but another year down the road with the car does it make sense...

Thats bad news, and it will be sore for a while and the fact you have posted it shows hopefully that by not burying it but dealing with it, its like someone passing away but the difficult bit is that...

I agree with Art on this one, if you want to haul heavy loads then go for the self levelling shocks, they cost a bit though if you want to add them as an aftermarket option. I got a quote this summer...

I have our XC70 from new for 2½ years now and have never looked back on this purchase, its looked after us very well.

We had planned to change it after 3 years but there is no reason, its great...
