The turbo has blown on my car, should I break the car for spares, or should I spend money that I could use on the other car to fix it?

Break it, it's the only way to go nowadays, our cars are getting broken when they need new tyres. ;)
I think the question is do you like walking around for a couple of months until it's on the road. Am sure man of your talents can change turbo cheaply.:duck:
Don't you have a pile of tirbos somewhere? or maybe just fit that massive supercharger you bought last year?
Yeah break it, one less green thing on the road has got to be better for everyone :)

[QUOTE=Nealevo;715771]Yeah break it, one less green thing on the road has got to be better for everyone :)[/QUOTE] But the question would be what will it be replaced with ?.
Nowt I need so fix it pops ;)
[QUOTE=Harvey;715774]But the question would be what will it be replaced with ?.[/QUOTE] I quite fancy a nice little Citroen Picasso
[QUOTE=claymore;715772]I have an S60 and an X type.[/QUOTE] So it's 4 or 3 cars hard choice ?.
[QUOTE=Harvey;715777]So it's 4 or 3 cars hard choice ?.[/QUOTE] Yea I'm sick of Volvo's, I'm going to scrap the s60 and I'm going to put a couple of ford engines in the twin engined project.
[QUOTE=claymore;715776]I quite fancy a nice little Citroen Picasso[/QUOTE] Like the idea :eclipsee_ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vRLjRBi6QuI
i think colin is on a wind up lol
Fix it
[QUOTE=Harvey;715780]Like the idea :eclipsee_ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vRLjRBi6QuI[/QUOTE] That's not a Picasso. :P
Sell it me.
Sell it back to me i'll scrap it for you :)
Break it, at this rate the market will flood with cheap used parts and the price of used complete cars will go up due to lack of supply :P
Yep at this rate them pink 850R's and mucky green ones will nearly be as sought after as the grey poupon
Get back to confession Pete!!
If it's broken, please can I have the power steering fluid and o/s/r indicator bulb. Thanks
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;715858]If it's broken, please can I have the power steering fluid and o/s/r indicator bulb. Thanks[/QUOTE] Dammit, you beat me to it
First dibs on the petrol
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;715858]If it's broken, please can I have the power steering fluid and o/s/r indicator bulb. Thanks[/QUOTE] And the R badges. ;)
Getting some more R bits at the weekend.... god bless these broken R's
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;715870]Getting some more R bits at the weekend.... god bless these broken R's[/QUOTE] You won't find ours being broken. :P
I'll have the tyre valve caps please, and two 15amp fuses ;)
Can a.mod delete / lock this thread....... Probably changed his mind now and found and easier way ffs :):)

Colin doesn't change his mind.....just his headwear :)
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;715920]Colin doesn't change his mind.....just his headwear :)[/QUOTE] Pmsl quality :)
Just to make it completely clear, this thread was a piss take, there is no way I would break an 850 just because it had a knackered Turbo.
[QUOTE=claymore;715929]Just to make it completely clear, this thread was a piss take, there is no way I would break an 850 just because it had a knackered Turbo.[/QUOTE] It's not knackered, it has a modified lubrication system :D
You saying I can't have the indicator bulb ??? wasting my time you are son :mad::finger: lol
[QUOTE=claymore;715929]Just to make it completely clear, this thread was a piss take, there is no way I would break an 850 just because it had a knackered Turbo.[/QUOTE] So you've changed your mind, you're messing people around now. :P
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;715931]You saying I can't have the indicator bulb ??? wasting my time you are son :mad::finger: lol[/QUOTE] Don't worry mate I've got your bulb, but I'm having a problem with the power steering fluid, it keeps making the envelope go all soggy, I'll see if it's any better in a jiffy bag.
Im sure there is more fun pushing volvo wheel than driving a ££££roen not to mention fixing and driving one.
[QUOTE=claymore;715929]Just to make it completely clear, this thread was a piss take, there is no way I would break an 850 just because it had a knackered Turbo.[/QUOTE] pretty obvious really lol
not that Colin will do anything like that to his T-5R, he loves it too much and should what ever happens there will always be a garage here for it, but love the thread it seems to be the fashion of late to have a breaking thread...lol
incidentally though i have a clean 15g here you can have i never used it and the endfloat seems fine on it ;)
[QUOTE=Santa;715848]Break it, at this rate the market will flood with cheap used parts and the price of used complete cars will go up due to lack of supply :P[/QUOTE] The second hand parts prices will end up so low with the amount of parts out there that people won't find it worth breaking them if this keeps up haha .
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;715870]Getting some more R bits at the weekend.... god bless these broken R's[/QUOTE] You don't fit second hand parts as a necessity but for a luxury, when you going to buy a R bumper and lights ;)
Can I get the solder from your abs unit Colin? Mine is a bit dry.
[QUOTE=volvokid;716051]You don't fit second hand parts as a necessity but for a luxury, when you going to buy a R bumper and lights ;)[/QUOTE] Today :) :)
Your a kinky man
