Stuart Duncan 08 August 2025 KG
Just checked how my upholsterer did my doors a few years ago. All of interior trim is leather (4 hides).
The door is not padded with trim glued to board, and the door board has a slot just inside the level of the side and bottom edges of the pocket. The door upholstery goes through the slot and the bottom is glued to the inside of the door board, below the slot.
The pocket is ... -

Greybeard 07 August 2025 Further and faster...
Yep.
BTW the "black hole" is between roughly 50 and 70bn, depending on your ideological preference.
Either way a remarkable achievement in one year from the largely fictional one Rachel inherited.
(The one that the Treasury and the OBR couldn't find). -

Daniel 07 August 2025 Black smoke is usually an excessively rich fuel mixture which is what you might expect on an engine that has warmed up and no longer needs excessive mixture enrichment (choke).

If you have a photo of the carbs it will help and the standard HS4s don't have valves in the ... -
Tim Tiernan 07 August 2025 Hi All, I'm slightly losing the will to live with my Midget. I've only had it a couple of weeks and I think the person I picked it up from basically got it running with the choke tied on then found a mug to sell it to (hello!).
A couple of days after bringing it home, it started rumbling and kicking out a lot of black smoke, only running at all on the choke then stalling.
So far ... -
Bill B 07 August 2025 Grey, an 09 S80 is a P3 model (phase 3 I mean). My 05 V70 is a P2, P3 came out in 2007. Unfortunately, the P2 headlights are not quick removal, you have to remove the bumper for a start! So you have to struggle to change bulbs in situ with the limited space.
Re. software, DRL dipped beam setting can be changed using VIDA software. A dealer would be reluctant to do this I guess. For up ... -
LC Laurent31 07 August 2025 My opinion is : don't play with safety. Fix the tire.
