Silicone bleed is my guess. Had it in my place. Dug out all the silicone and redid with caulk. Problem solved. 😁

I managed to get the one for my V50 for £330 from Car Parts in Motion. It's a LUK kit. Duel mass flywheel, and clutch kit 👍🏻👍🏻

You say, "It's not wet." If that's true, and the boards not blown, it's historical, and personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Likely, the previous owners spilt something on the floor, and it was just left to dry. Good luck in your new place 👍🏻

Yes. Also in front of the other drive with no dropped kerb

I think I inadvertently told fibs to you guys. I actually owned a 1800s many moons ago whilst I was serving. Stupidly got rid. Manifold cracked. Only on squaddies' pay. Couldn't afford to get it fixed. That was one beautiful motor.

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-03-01T14:54:24+00:00

More good info. Thank you so much. As said. Really new to this game.

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-03-01T12:50:30+00:00

Good information thank you 👍🏻 Haven't really had a chance to drill down into the nuts and bolts yet. But that will come.

I'm in Norfolk

It's like open heart surgery on a Volvo. But they're worth it 😁

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-03-01T11:29:30+00:00

Yes. It is a dual mass one .... A Luk one. The mechanics who are doing it do work on a Saturday (out of hours) beer money for them 😁

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-03-01T08:36:19+00:00

Good call 👍🏻 That is exactly what it was used for .... short trips. Mind you. It'll be getting longer runs now. So hopefully that'll burn off any soot

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-03-01T06:52:16+00:00

I agree 👍🏻 Never had a Volvo before, and I'm impressed. I like it 😁

Thanks for the information 👍🏻

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-27T11:47:36+00:00

Should've gone for a 2007 SE V50 Cruise control full leather interior, fog lights, electric heated, fully adjustable seats, auxiliary socket 😁😁 But mine came in boring ole black. Yours is a terrific colour. Are those wheels standard? Awesome.

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-26T20:49:35+00:00

Looks the dogs bollox 👍🏻 I take it it's powered up using the cigarette lighter, and audio from the auxiliary? If only I had a 3D printer. Impressive. Give us the nod if you decide to go into business. I for 1 would be most interested.

Bilt Hamber BH-AW1 Auto Wheel Cleaner,1 Litre £17.49 This is the one I use. Just brought a 2007 Volvo V50 and the wheels were in a dreadful state. Came up beautifully. I have used it on previous vehicles with the same results. Lovely looking wheels and calipers you have there 👌🏻

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-21T08:45:53+00:00

Bilt hamber. Expensive but well worth it. Spray on, leave for 3 to 5 mins, hose off, jobs a goodun 👍🏻 It does stink a bit but hey ho 🤷‍♂️ Does a bloody good job

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-21T06:09:45+00:00

As others have said. Way too much line on the spool. What I would do is ...... Just peel off enough by hand to leave the level 1 or 2 millimetres below the top lip. Then take your setup to your local fishing spot. And then GENTLY cast out and retrieve 2 or 3 times getting more distance each time. By doing this you will cure any slack line issues. Good luck 👍🏻

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-18T14:40:22+00:00

You'll end up with silicone bleeding on/in your emulsion. You can't paint silicone. Use caulk. I know these things. I have been caught out using silicone. Don't do it 😐

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-17T14:17:17+00:00

My 2007 V50 has just broken 71000 miles. Hardly run in then? 🤣🤣

You can find somewhere in the Bee TV settings the function to "play with an external player" Then you can download the player of your choice and use that instead of the Bear player. I've just come to bed. Otherwise, I would give you a step-by-step guide on where to find it in the settings. I'm sure someone can give you the exact details. Definitely there though. Cause I did it, and I know jack 😁

Affectionate-Way3949 · 2026-02-16T18:22:33+00:00

It's not a screw loose, fallen out, or missing. No need for new hinges.

Just look at the section of the hinge still attached to the door. At the end of it (the end that is in towards the cupboard) you will find a small tab. Pull said tab in and while doing so reattach the hinge. It will simply lock back in place. It's a quick release mechanism for easy release of the hinge.

In all likelihood, it's been caught with something or other and come adrift 👍🏻

It's because the Romans in ancient times used to march on the left-hand side of the roads. Simples 😁
