Another day in the workshop for the T5 today, why do I feel something

silly is going to happen soon?



Earlier in the week I took it to the local specialist dudes to get the

wheel alignment done. They did a wonderful job, but unfortunately after

a couple of hours there the battery was dead - all seemed good, but when

they turned the key to start it the dreaded "wuuuuuh wuuuuh wuh-kliCK

klick.[1]". I remarked rather loudly "I imagine the radio is saying

`CODE` now then? I`d suggest boosting the fucker before it is, and turn

it off before it definately is" - to which he turned the key again



Volvo: -"W-KLKK",

Bloke: "Code",

Me :"fuxake",

Bloke :"Sorry - I know a place that decodes them for a tenner"

Me : "Oh, well thanks a lot. Does he do batteries as well?"

Bloke: "I`ll get the boss"

Me : "Joy"

Boss :"That is the first sign of a fucked battery, I`d get that changed

if I were you"

Me : "So, how much was it to get this done again?. Tracking [2] and

battery test was it?"

Boss :"I`ll sort the bill"



Which was nice and cheap [3]. Luckily enough I already had the radio

code and I`d bought a few batteries off the battery bloke a few hours

earlier that day so I got a nice new one for £40.



This afternoon was time to put the proper Volvo OEM T5 exhaust on. Dead

easy as it happens, and still mentally quiet unless you hoof it.



Gave it a basic checkup on the `scope and OBD stuff. As close to spot on

as makes no difference. It really does go rather well now, but the next

job is definately a strut brace or two.. then a mild 270 / 280 chip.



Very happy indeed with it, definate contrast to the Escort van... [4]



[1] Klick seems to have a Swedish accent.

[2] Wheel alignment boss *hates* it being called that

[3] As in more than the battery cost less than normal

[4] Which seems to have cocked on ebay

Looks that way. Email from `buyers wife` saying that buyers mother has

been taken ill and he can`t pick up the van until Tuesday, which is when

the bloody tax runs out so I may as well relist and she`ll explain to

hubby what has happened.



Hmm. Luckily I had a load of people wanting to buy it while it was on there.
