July 02, 2024 ....USA ) ( I really like your video I have not found one video showing how to do backup camera the way you are doing.. keep up the good work...
Hi , I just got a Peugeot expert E7 taxi, but is impossible to find an insurance! CaN you please help us how did you insure it? We desperate, thanks
Don’t forget folding passenger seat for long loads.
What android tablet will work on the kingbolen ediag plus ?
Good job, very helpful. I have a similar problem with my A4 B7 convertible bumper sagging. Two questions, what do you call the adjusters for the height Of the bonnet? And where did you get your wooden ramps? Cheers
Excellent video but I desperately wish one of these companies would offer a 4K wireless/solar powered version of the backup camera! Thanks
Hi Torque Steer How about adding Carpodgo to this? Looks like a more premium product priced at around £200 with solid design and build quality however it would be interesting to see how it compares to these 6. Really good work!
I have a Eonon P4 and Im super duper happy with it. Its just great. I wish the refresh rate was 60hz, but thats the only thing I could wish for.
How about getting insurance, we are having trouble with ours? Can you help
Hope you do an in-depth video on your turbo lag, mine seems to be doing the same, i have recently used Cataclean and it seems to have helped, see what you find
Will do! I'll see what comes up. If I have any luck, I'll post an update.
I need for Ford Focus 2017
I have a V70 2007 and exact same spec and same colour (Willow green) as the V70 that pops up in your video. I have spent a lot of money over the last 8 years I have loved owning it. Your video in regard to your owning yours mirrors my experience of owning mine, the best car I have ever owned. Most of which have been Volvo's. I saw your first video on this V70 4 years ago and would like to appreciate the love, care & efforts you have put into your car.
Thank you Paul. I'm glad that you've had a good experience with your car and thank you for watching all this time :)
Actually, they all came from a Chinese manufacturer, so we only need to focus on the product code, not the brand. I bought a K720; the stand is very low, so I cannot set the camera high enough to watch the lane. One very important function is split screen between the cam recorder and map guidance, but it's funny that the expensive machine doesn't have this feature, while the cheap one does.
Ive been looking to buy a v70..
Do it :)
Hi, my friend. I recently bought a 2008 Volvo S60 2.0T with 100,000 km and all the maintenance records. However, the engine fan is not turning on after using the car. When I switch off the car, I can hear the coolant boiling. What do you think I could do
Is the fan running when the car is on? If not, it could be the fuse for the fan. I don't ever recall hearing my fan when I stop the car. It's probably not running hot enough.

Volvo was the first car to do a million miles
The P1800? :)
Hi I owned a volvo 760 gle estate back in the 90ts a 91 model with a 2.3 petrol there wasn't many around back then the motorway cops had them one of the best cars I ever owned and a fast car silver metallic with black leather seats great cars back then not like volvo today ford bought them out I can't remember any problems with it hade it for about five years they don't make them like that anymore
Wasn't that the first of the 5 cyl models? I wish they still made that engine. That 760 could probably be going strong today with just regular maintenance.
"Get two birds stoned at once" someone's been watching Trailer Park Boys
"Look Randy! I'm mowing the air"
Wow! I appreciate your effort. Great reviews. I was considering buying the Lamtto. You just confirmed it. Thank you for your efforts.
I've got a P3 so not strictly 100% Volvo but it's a D5 manual and I think it's a great car! much better for the family than any crossover, 700 miles to a tank
I've always liked the P3. Never owned or drove one but I'd strongly consider one if I were to replace my P2.
Luke, it was watching all your V70 vids which has got me to appreciate them more. the only downside to them is the poor steering lock. but still a brilliant car.
Haha yeah, that steering lock is something else .
How about a category for "flexibility of mounting / Mounting Options".....thanks for the great video!
Always loved your V70 content...P2 chassis is a tank, these are quite perfect cars with lovable knicks! We have a 2005 V70 D5 in our family since 2007...and I own myself a 2007 S60 T5 manual Spaceball
Very cool! I love the look of that spaceball. It's quite unique. Thanks for watching :)
Try testing carpodpro t3 pro.
You are the man! End of struggling with aftermarket carplay!
Check the swirl flap motor and linkage. The 185 has them but not the 163. The flaps help the low down grunt if working correctly but the link arm can break and the flaps stay open which on full throttle is fine but you lose the low down grunt which seems to be what you are experiencing. I had an S60 D5 185 and mine had broken, had mine remapped and made a huge difference to the car but with the flaps not operating correctly it lacked a small bit in the low end.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've been wondering that myself, but I've checked the actuator and it's moving. The arm had broke in the past but has been repaired. I'm wondering what would happen if I leave them in the closed position and disconnect the arm. I'd rather have more low end than top end power.
Really interesting thank you...found you on suggested...oddly I'm thinking about a V70...very very good and you weren't waffling at all... Watching from inland Spain...keep swimming 🤗
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you liked it :))
This felt like a trip down memory lane. I don't watch too much RUclips nowadays but after Boris locked us all in I spent loads of time flicking through car channels, and your V70 always stuck in my mind-that lovely paint in particular. It struck a chord as a former S60 D5 owner.
Thank you for watching for all this time :)
Loved video , was thinking of getting one and you have made my mind up!!! Cheers bud 👍👍
I hope you're very happy with your purchase :)
Apps like Bloomberg and CNBC crash my unit, is this a bad video card or not enough RAM? Who wins with the reliability of apps
Hope you didn’t produce the power shift😂😂
You mean the power shit? Haha no, we produced manual transmissions.
Great video, got me looking at V70's now, I'm a single 37-year-old man 😂 Just something about an estate, i love them! Will fit my fishing gear in and still have plenty of room. Great for camping too 😁
I wrote a comment but it never seemed to work anyway it was me who msged you all those years ago and who owned the Volvo and cared for it anyway glad its still going strong i would check the front n rear engine vaccum mounts they tend to leak and are connected to the turbo boost solenoid so that explains the power problem sometimes, a channel on youtube by the name sirobb has great videos on this, look forward to all your future videos.
Anthony, thanks so much for the comment and for getting back in touch, I hope you're doing well. I will make sure to check those vacuum tubes out. Hopefully that will be the solution. Thanks for all your help :)
I have a similar dilemma..I religiously keep.a.daily driver for 3 years then trade up by 2 or 3 years.But I really don't want to get rid of my XC60 2.4 manual.It's nearing the end of my usual 3 year cycle and I'm considering changing my rule after 3 years of 100% reliable trouble free motoring.
I think with a good and trustworthy mechanic, and perhaps access to another car (just for the odd time it needs a bit of work), keeping a slightly older but well maintained car shouldn't be too much of an issue. You'll probably save a lot of money and at least you already know that you like the car :)
a common failure on thesse cars is the rubber hose between the filler tube and the tank look so its not cracked or if you can smell it just a tip :)
I'll take a look there. Thanks. It could certainly be that.
Back to form for this one Luke. Great to see. I love a V70 P2. Especially yours! Watched the series you did way back. Glad it's still bringing you joy. I get the same feeling about my Audi Allroad C5, it's high spec, and the build quality is unbelievably good for a 21 year old car!
Thanks for watching. Yes that era of Audi were certainly build very solid. My A4s from the same time were exceptional inside. I've always like the allroad style cars (or XC70s in the case of Volvo).
It looks to me like you have the wrong settings on the Podofo. BT projection just uses the head as a display for the phone. The sound goes through the vehicle's BT audio.
Watched your vlogs from the beginning with this car, great to see you have kept it and continue to enjoy it. The D5 engine is, if looked after very reliable and can do mega mileage. The seats are the comfiest you will sit in and the build quality of this period just proves why the car is still on the road. Keep up the vlogs on the car.
Thank you for watching all this time. :)
I guess I will clean the inside wheel one more time then try iron remover with a eraser pad and see if that helps
Hi Luke, great video and review on your car,it is a tidy example,the wheels set it off being refurbed.
Thanks Steven :)
👍👍
Great vlog Luke. Volvos are great cars especially the older estates. My Dad had a couple and also the S90 around 2009 ish. I’m wanting hybrid next as had diesels for years but not spending the £40k and don’t do the mileage for diesel any more.
Please speak proper English
👍👍
I know what you mean about the newer ones in many ways not feeling like that much of an upgrade. I rented a current shape Rav4 recently and honestly, it was a good practical car but left me a bit underwhelmed... after all a new Rav4 isn't cheap.
On my second V70. First 2.4 normally aspirated manual. Second now I'm in the US is a 2.5 lpt automatic. More practical than an SUV, supremely comfortable, plenty quick enough. Back seats drop flat (with seat squabs removed-easy job). Oil and filter change every 5000 miles. Costs other than. Reconned A/C compreesor and pipe with pin hole. Two tailgate struts (not Volvo originals so not expensive). Rear wheel bearing. New injector rail fuel sensor (got rid of the cel), replaced all the vacuum rubber pipes to get rid of a misfire. I replaced the head unit for aftermarket. It has HID headlights that frankly I wouldn't have chosen as an option, take too ling to go from dip to main and very expensive bulb. Plus unless sealed the ballast unit gets water logged, mounted under the lights. I recently changed the timing belt, water pump and tensioner, take your time if you do it, failure to do it correctly is NOT an option! All said a great car. But make sure you give regular oil changes. Edit: not the best car I've driven, that was a 91 Saab 9000 Carlsson 2.0, no cat. Niiiice...but is the best vehicle I've owned for all round practicality.
Thanks for sharing your experience with yours. I'm glad you've had a positive experience too.
These volvos have a way of getting under your skin. Maybe it's the 5 pot warble. I'm on my second mk1 V70 (2.4 petrol), had to get another after my first died of rust. They're so cheap to buy and so practical. Mine loves a tip run lol. Also nice Rickyism at 9:25 lol
Haha a fellow TPB fan :) I'm surprised that yours died of rust, that's a shame. It's normally one area that Volvo are very strong. But yes, the noise of a 5cyl (petrol or diesel) is nice. This is the first diesel I've had where I actually like the sound of it. The Mk1 is a very practical modern and cheap classic these days.
@@jdonproductions I too am surprised with the rust. The P2 monococh is galvanized, isn't the P1 too?
@@steveb6386 I'm sure it is galvanized but mine had been neglected before me, it was the rear inner arches and the subframe that went on it. Oddly the one I have now has done more miles but is much cleaner underneath.
@@TorqueSteer Yeah, they can rot quite badly in certain areas. Behind the wheel arch liners, front wings and rear subframe are salt traps on the P80 (mk1) cars. Not all of them are bad, my current one is pretty spotless rust wise and has done 171k.
Deleting comments because he can’t take a bit of honest criticism, unbelievable.
Hi Luke,this looks a good carplay screen,it's a bit expensive though,but the leads are very handy for the phone or a CD player.
