While in general I have no problem buying stuff from ECP I'm not sure I'd trust them on this one[obviously your choice to do so or not]I believe there is an equivalent fluid available from Mitsubishi for less money than the "proper" Volvo fluid.Other sources may then be cheaper still.The important bit is to do partial changes to allow fresher fluid to refresh seals and generally clean the gearbox gently rather than change all the fluid in one go.

A trade off that reflects in the "comfort level" though
the omega does not have a lockable loop for the crash helmet
but the omega has a few toys the C90 doesn't  ;D

Plugged into the LPG ECU, as she said it kept erroring this morning, a few miles into her journey.

Only faultcodes were batt voltage errors, probably from when the battery failed a few weeks back.

Took TBE for a drive yesterday evening. Yup, the LPG is definitely playing up, with a weird fault.

Its either the pressure sensor
Fault solenoid or associated wiring, as it was about 3 months ago
A blockage, less likely, as when it works, its perfect.

Wired in the dashcam mounting kit to allow me to swap the unit from car to car. Unfortunately, after removing the overhead panel, I discovered that the sunroof indicator light had melted into its plastic surround, hence ad in the wanted section. :( :( :(

TBE's LPG just fixed itself when I went to investigate the fault. Hmmmm.

Changed the oil on the XJ on Saturday, before having to test the anchors on Sunday when some silly bint stepped into the road when a 70mph 1.8t car was almost upon her.

Got an offer for the old 190, which is £100 more than I paid for it about 6 years ago. Not bad considering its a non runner. ;D
Then went out and bought a Re****t.  :-[ :-[ :-[
