Still very nice tho, and again volvo engine seem to go forever, only problem i have had with mine is they seem to suffer from electrical problems but i joined the volvo performance club and they have good advice on there.

671 ;) :o ^_^ :huh: :rolleyes: :blink: :unsure: :( :) <_<

As Ian says def worth getting checked as could be something else but all i was trying to say is it just sounds similar to my problem i had which was the MAF an over a month i had 3 of them..

with my van, i would be driving round the m25 say at 70mph then i would have to slow down for whatever reason but as soonas i put my foot back down the accelorator i had nothing, i would say break from 70mph to say 50 then as i say, foot down and would just about creep up then gradually start lose all power but very slowly , even with the foot flat to the floor, van was still running but revs would not raise at all. So pulled over stopped van, idling perfect but when i pressed the accelerator not much at all, would slowly creep up to say 3000rpm but a real struggle... managed to get her back to my mechanic and he changed the maf for another one ( this is the 2nd pattern one now) and i drove off fine.... 2 weeks later same thing again, it was sort of like doing 0 to 50 in 15 minutes, Back at mechanics, this time it stayed there he checked everything, everthing fine, checked Maf sensor, it had gone again...so this time he got one from the main dealer (twice the price) fitted it to the van, never had a problem since but yes i had not idling problems with mine but mine was power issues as i say i would have foot flat to the floor and the revs would hardly raise, started out very similar to what your car is doing then over the coming weeks got worse.....but was all down to Maf sensor and my van does nt like pattern parts but my mechanic was saying it is really common on most cars especially with maf sensors that the pattern parts are not so good ( maf sensors) and only seem to perform on original parts....

On the v70R i have anthracite coloured wheels on a black car ...looks very nice

Nice Volvo the C70 specialy the conv, is it a T5? i have a Volvo V70R sitting on the drive at the mo, lovely car and goes like a rocket gotta say beat quite a few m3 in it, but hs been slighltly upgraded think 0-60 around 5 secs but the mid range is incredible, its has an auto box but foot flat to the floor it does not change out of 2nd until 85- 90 mph....but alas i have to sell her as the missus is getting fed up with collecting cars , so the deal was i can get the 7 series ( which i have always wanted) but the v70 has to go, so one project out the window ...lol

could be a bit dangerous sniffing the white lines specially with all those cars going past.....plus is this a fetish i am missing out on.............LOL

sorry to hear that mate, hope your dads ok tho, butlike most of the above has said there is plenty of parts about..

Lol @ Kirby

Still sounds like the MAF, did you get a new original bmw one, or secon hand or a pattern part because i had a van with a maf problem, i went thru 3 new pattern part ones in a matter of a month and stil the problem came back, so in the end i put on a original manufacturers one and the problem was solved

welcome mate

let my missus have the car for a week and my 7 would have wheels like that....lol
