I've just bought pretty much the same car (05 1.4L sxi, 5 door) for £500 and the similarities are crazy! Sounds exactly the same when running. I also weirdly have the exact same after market radio, the same parcel shelf notch broken, and the same kind of wear on the gearstick and handbreak! Did you end up getting the timing chain replaced? How pricey was it? Seen it's a common problem so want it done as peace of mind

@@AbeMyatt hi, the timing chain was eventually replaced as it was the source of the noise but it also had a couple of broken rockers. Good luck with your project 😃

Absolutely spot on using weight and taking expansion/contraction into account. Fuel is loaded into aircraft tanks in weight (pounds in the US, kilos everywhere else) for exactly that reason.

Re:mess my best ever was leaving mondeo tdci oil filter housing loose so when I started it 5litres of new oil pumped out onto the driveway. Fortunately a concrete cleaner renoved almost all of it.

I believe they are set from the factory as they were a brand-new set. - but that's a good question actually. We did check the beam pattern in the dark and it looked correct. I've just bought and fitted some used replacements for my XC90 and I'm pretty sure they do need aligning however!

Hearing the sounds of the show and just the camera wondering round picking up the conversations and the very cool cars. Thanks so much for putting this out now and not over the summer.

Oh yes, back box delete 😂 when mine went the noise was biblical! It was well beyond any repair or patching up hence the new system in the end.

@indecisiveauto25 күн бұрын
Cheers mate. The hardest part for me with the XC60 has been getting comfortable behind the wheel again. The steering is weirdly weighted and I eventually realised I had to sit allot more upright than I'm used to in order to get the right kind of leverage on the wheel - there's no doubt it handles much better than any of my P2's but I definitely but it doesn't feel anywhere near as solid.

I seriously need to do this again to Bev. Trouble is some of the hazing has gone through the plastic rather than be just on the surface which is a real pain. I can have the bumper and lights off within 5 minutes now 😂 It's much easier to change any bulb this way rather than struggle in the engine bay trying to fit new bulbs especially on the facelift lights as the holders are much further forward than the pre-facelift versions. Just to make it more interesting I've got S60 lights which have black inner frames whereas the V70 items are grey lol. Brilliant video fella .
