I know there are a few P3 cars in Canada but I don't know of any P2 cars

The sound in the video is the vacuum pump running ever time I press the brake pedal. If you turn the ignition on and the vacuum pump runs then stops everything is good, if when stopped you press the brake pedal and the pump runs for a few seconds, everything is good. If your pump constantly runs or never runs you need to diagnose the problem

@@850glt thanks for the explanation. I thought something was wrong due to the sound. I just changed breaks (disc's, pads and calipers) in the back. I have never heard the pump running and according to this video there could be som kind of leak in the vacuum system. ruclips.net/video/yIk_aePgzJI/видео.htmlsi=2eLQVUTx0wldpMX0

Correct, it was only fitted to petrol turbo cars. It was not fitted to N/A engines or diesel engines

thanks @swecol1992 Nostalgia is exactly what the entire classic car scene is all about. Glad you enjoyed the clip

850 glt wagon is still one of my favorite cars.

Yes she scrubbed up well. There are a few videos on here with her if you look through my channel. T5 is a nice car, hope you enjoy it

@850glt she as scubbed up better than we'll. Can't believe how she looks. Got to spend some money on mine to get her right. Have watched your videos. Your viva ha. I had one to. Was my first car and paid £20 for it ha ha.

Yes Alan, it was your car. I've been on a bit of a journey finding out all its history which you can read all about in this link. 850glt.wordpress.com

Now at 62,205 miles

@@850glt Still the same.

Check the wire plug connections to the ABS module as they corrode and cause all sorts of problems

Thank you, the car is in Scot;and now but spent its first 2 years in Germany then the next 22 in the south of England

Thank you

Thanks wesleycardinal8869, I'm in the privileged position of being able to still chat to the original owner's son and he's been amazing at helping me find out about the car, little things that he thought were not important have allowed me to document the journey the 850 has been on from before it was even built up to the present day.. Sadly for some strange reason I can't post a link to the website as Google looks upon it as spamming but if you type in 850glt.wordpress. com (without the spacing) you will be able to read all about it.

Thank you Peedarb, she's going out for a drive today and I'm looking forward to it.

2.5TSE has 208bhp. 2.3 T5 has 250bhp. 2.4 T5 has 256bhp. Only the V70R has 300bhp

Wasn't a tin can , it was a piece of metal I used to prop up the phone to get the exhaust clip at the beginning and when I picked the phone up I kicked the metal out of the way 🤣

Thank you, yes most parts are still available direct from Volvo, there are a few items that are getting harder to find but plenty aftermarket companies to keep these old cars going for many years ahead. Yes I do like my Volvo cars

Thank you Jason, I think I lucked out with this one

Thanks Neal, it's getting hard to good low mileage ones now, just need to keep searching and something will turn up when you're not expecting it

Thank you

Getting hard to find with less than 100,000 miles now

Merci, elle est très bien

@@850glt спасибо

@@miklemikle-1982 добро пожаловать

Thank you, it still has an engine management system but it's basic compared to what's produced today

True

Thank you Matthew, It is possibly the best 850 left in the UK

@@850glt yeah, think i would agree with you. i couldn't own it as i would be to afraid to drive it!! has it been garaged?

@@matthewwiddows6319 Yes it has been garaged most of its life, the only time it wasn't was when the chap who I bought it from had it for 10 months and it was kept outside. You can read all about it and its comprehensive history on this website...850glt.wordpress.com Thanks and enjoy

Must be the sun that affects the plastics, as they look new as opposed to not worn. Have just added a p reg 855 2.5 10v gle to my fleet of 850s. Has a few scuffs but after those it will be close to yours. Its silver, but 426 silver not that smoked silver. 106k on mine, but getting converted to t5 from donor car.

@@matthewwiddows6319 Yes the sun does untold long term damage to the plastics to the extent they become brittle and break. There are lots of interior images in mt photo album in this link... flic.kr/s/aHBqjzC4Ui. I never knew they made the 850 in code 426, never seen one before, hope you enjoy it

No, it's not had anything applied in the last 2½ years. The car is only used in the summer months and always garaged.

Thank you, hope you are feeling better now

Hi Nygel, it's a genuine Rover colour and is Admiralty Blue. You can read about the mixture on the Specification, Technical, Data page of the website 1947rover.wordpress.com/2022/06/07/specifications-technical/

​@@850glt thanks for replying - didn't realise it was ADMIRALTY BLUE. That's the colour on P5's, the favourite car of Prime Ministers at the time!

@@nygelmiller5293 Yes, a P5B colour and most had a Silver Birch roof. Best colour combo for them IMO

@@850glt the whole world does agree that the ADMIRALTY BLUE with the lighter roof certainly FOES work. But the P5 really does also look good in ALL colours too!

Thank you Nygel. Patina can be used to explain a multitude of things and car enthusiasts are all looking for original non restored cars therefore patina would be a good word to describe tired worn paintwork. This car was restored between 1975 and 1983, so a long time ago. The only reason it has stood the test of time is because Royce Cole who carried out the work did an exceptional job. I've posted a link in the description for the P2 website, I hope you enjoy looking through it

Most certainly would recommend giving it a thorough clean. It would allow you to see if there are any areas that require attention

2010 185 BHP diesel

Glad you enjoyed it
