Volvo Estate Project Part 2 - Simple upgrades you can do at home!

In part 2 I do some really basic upgrades that anyone can do with some simple tools and an eBay account...! But it makes a big difference.

Nice and easy improvements. Well done. I'm curious what'll be next. Simply love your humour ("superleggera", "famous last words").

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Ha ha, thank you. More today! It's booked in to the Classic Motor Show on Friday so it's all systems go, there will be videos today and tomorrow!

[@crazyforcars]

@@GeoffBuysCars Can't wait to see it. Love your channel. It's so real, authentic, funny and meets my personal passion, although my collection of cars is much smaller ☺️.

[@GeoffBuysCars]

@@crazyforcars I get stressed when I own more than one car, to be totally honest. You can hear the busy main road in the video, parking is a major issue for me. Right now i've got the C70 cabrio (which will go in a giveaway for a tenner so that's not staying) and then 3x Volvo Estates. I'll keep the TDi and the T5... not sure on this black one. I am a bit in love with it!

[@crazyforcars]

@@GeoffBuysCars I actually own three. Which ones do you regret most having not kept it?

[@stevenlycett5342]

You need to replace the orange indicator bulbs replaced with chrome bulbs to lose the orangeness!!!

[@matthewwiddows6319]

No thanks on the upgrades, would like to keep my rear wiper, dont like the chinese side indicators, also i like badges on mine. on the plus the side lights look good. where's the t5!!!

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Ha ha, T5 won't be having any of these upgrades! Don't forget this is a high mileage, no history, bad paint car, so any modifications are improvements. Rear wiper didn't work and all indicators were tired.

[@csebastian71]

Hope they changed the cabin filter too. People tend to forget those and it looks discussing.🤢

[@GeoffBuysCars]

I haven't yet, my motorfactors didn't have one but it'll get done!

[@leftlanegaming530]

Part 3 rust repairs?

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Nah that is going to have to wait, ha ha.

[@Mike_5]

That Volvo is looking sharp for sure back in the day the T5's were the Boss for sure

[@GeoffBuysCars]

It's getting there!

[@mostlyoldthings]

Love your Volvo videos😊 When you change the oil and filters, it may also be worth checking the crankcase ventilation system as these can get blocked, especially on high mileage cars with lack of servicing. The easiest way to check this is to remove the oil filler cap and put a rubber glove over the hole, and start the engine. If the glove inflates, then the PCV system needs attention, if it stays flat or is sucked in slightly then all is well. If the system is blocked then this can cause problems such as damaged oil seals etc. Hope that helps

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Thanks for this! Not sure i'll do the oil before the show (it starts Friday) but that'll come next.

[@mostlyoldthings]

You are welcome, I really appreciate your enthusiasm for Volvos, I've had many over the years, keep up the good work and good luck with the show....

[@daverawles]

Can you post the eBay links to these upgrades Geoff I'm definitely interested in the wheel spacers for my 850

[@GeoffBuysCars]

Ah then you will love the video that's uploading right now Dave! Yes good idea, i'll add links in the descriptions. Spacers are perfect, and easy fit with some basic cleaning up with a good wire brush. I think you'll like the next installment.
