Morning from a dull Glasgow

Driveway shot!

V70 - decided to sortout the front end, was juddering under acceleration and braking and uneven wear on the discs.

Due to Scotchland history and a number of years around Aberdeen it's got a bit out of hand.

So far its had:-

Cat/DPF/middle pipe/backbox

Front Springs/lower arms/discs/pads/rack boots

Currently in a big pile of bits on the drive awaiting delivery of

Calipers/Fitting Kits/Droplinks/track rod ends/flexi pipes.

While i'm in there i'm treating rust, spraying stonechip & then a good dose of Bilt Hamber Dynax S50

Also got discs/pads to fit at the back and a service kit, once it's finished it will be so sorted though..

 

[Floatylight]

Gah, more work!

[Floatylight]

So, this is now all back together, tracking done, but it still vibrates under acceleration, needs further investigation but i'm wondering if it's engine mounts.

To be perfectly honest starting to hate the sight of the bloody thing, front end seems to ride too high, wondering if new springs are wrong, but only seems to be one listed.
