    The originals at 248K?! I'll be happy if my front rotors last to 85K.

    Fitted a new cvvt solenoid, rough idle solved, loss of power solved. Now just waiting on new fuel filter. Local parts shops want over $300 NZD for it ($200 US) crazy! Car drives like a race horse now. Have in the past fitted;
    Xmodex ETM
    IPD Coils
    Iridum Plugs
    IPD Intercooler Silicon pipes
    IPD HD TCV
    IPD Silicon TCV tubes
    MAF
    New PCV
    New Timing Belt and Water pump
    Snabb Air intake Pipe (shinny!)

    Next is to adjust the waste gate. And perhaps a orange tune from Lucky.

    Vehicle is a 2001 v70xc 2.4 with 170,000km

    Hi All, I hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break,
    Well I just received my S60R rear sway bar I had it on order for about a week and a half ,
    I started to take the old sway bar of my car last night I had to lower the exhaust system and remove one of the coil / shocks thats the only way the sway bar could come out.
    Once got I got it out I cleaned up and got some sleep and reinstalled the thicker sway bar.
    Wow what a difference it make on the car's handling very pleased with the results.
    Cheers.

    I added lucas transmission slip additive to my transmission and I guess it increases valve body pressure because my failing valve body isn't AS bad as it was before... I can tell it's not shifting 100% like it should, bu there's no more clunks and it barely over-revs. This is definitely a good thing to try. I might put in a second thing of it to see if that helps it improve any, since they always say 1 or 2 bottles. Gonna drive it for a while first and see how it reacts in time.
