you need to try a v50 2.0d sport it has a bit less power but higher torque specs, My traction control in the wet is just an orange light on the dash while my wheels spin lol then when you calm it down I get 50 mpg, Volvo's often get overlooked for projects as the parts like suspension upgrades(bilstine) can cost close to £2000 and there are not many aftermarket parts for them.

V70 r and 850 T5r are my dream cars
I remember reading that the police spec T5 has 302mm disks up front. Also they have D5 front suspension. The D5 is heavier so they'll sit slightly higher and the back end is self levelling. This was to allow police to drive quickly over speed bumps etc. Interesting car.. 😉
"I'm going to get carried away aren't I?" Ya dude - they get you hooked. Be very careful about selling it because these are the cars you will wish you still had 10 years from now when they will be impossible to find at a reasonable price.
The thing with buying an X police such as this is that it been serviced regularly and well maintained .and although it’s done over 200k miles most of which probably driven on motorways it’s been driven properly by an professional advanced driver
Mark at KVMS Volvo specialists Bretton near Chester will probably let you film. Proper Volvo expert.

I can't wait for the next T5 videos, my dream car is a Volvo S40 T5 SE Sport so it's nice to see a KZreadr that I enjoy watching have so much fun in a T5. Hope you have a good Christmas!
This is the video I've most looked forward to since the initial release. More content on this affordable beast!
Yes bro - been looking forward to this! The RS3 is nice - of course - but this sort of low-budget, leftfield stuff really does it for me 😂. Hope to see a similar path followed to the high mileage Golf - good to see a car of this age and history getting shown some love.
I really like your enthusiasm, from a rs3 with almost 600hp to a volvo t5. Keep the videos coming.👌👌👌
Cant wait to see where this goes. Always fancied one, especially the R with 300 bhp. Loving the content, mate.👊🏻
Got one of these 300+ bhp stage 1 remap Love leaving boy racers at the lights :)
First rule of fault finding with codes is ALWAYS treat the codes as a symptom and not always the cause!! You will save money if you diagnose faults the correct way. The steering angle sensor code (which ever one you have) might just mean that the steering angle is out of calibration for the position of the steering wheel. It doesn't always mean the sensor is faulty. Get yourself a Foxwell NT530 for Volvo and this will be the best bit of kit you will buy for the car!! If you want to learn about fault diagnosing etc then there are a few i can recommend. 1. South Main Auto 2. Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics 3. Scanner Danner 4. Wells Vehicle Electronics

Pumped for this series, looking at getting into a v70r or maybe just a t5 in the new year so i'll be watching this closely!
Great project! Strongest t5 engine ever with great potential. I will share the link in a big dutch Volvo forum. About upgrades: You can go crazy on them.. Start with all new sensors; lambda, airflow sensor, etc. And on upgrades: Bigger intercooler Bigger down pipe Tme catback (great sound) Remap This wil give you 300hp easy... Other then that: Xc90 v8 brakes R bumper Coilovers (bc racing) Ipd sway-bars Wheels: 18" original pegasus or Mirzams (c70 wheels) Good luck on the car, and enjoy 😉
I hade one 6yrs ago and I can tell u for a fact my car was brilliant it was chipped by police it was beautiful well maintained of course my son adnan loves it ❤️❤️❤️
Man so stoked your doing this car on your channel these cars are so underrated and they sound sick.
Really looking forward to the build on this car, it will be interesting to see what you decide to do with it!!.
I had an S80 T6 2.8l 270bhp it was a rocket ship but the bills on it were eye watering
Your spot on its not all about the expensive cars love to see old bangers they have so much more character
Big up Hamza, Volvo life I had an S40 T5 R Design good car man 5 cylinder sound can't beat it and nippy enough my brother.
You have a good taste in old cars .. I’ve had a few in the past and appreciate them .... here’s to 2021 ... peace and tranquillity 😀🤔
"Its not always about the fancy stuff" - exactly why i love this channel!! What a machine 😁
I used to own a 2001 S60 T5. Now I drive a 2006 S60 2.0T stage 1. Fell in love with Volvo.
Can’t wait to see this beast move 🤩 have a great Christmas an thanks for all the awesome content this year! (the crash has only made you stronger my guy) next year your going so much further 🙏🏽

What a gem of a car and what better content creator to take it to the next level, cant wait👍👌
Btcc would look awesome! Tsw hockeniems, flat on the floor, screamer pipe very cool indeed.
As an ex police car it does have one major plus in that for the bulk of its life it hardly ever got started from cold. Brakes and suspension even though high spec will have been replaced likely more than once in its life. Looking forward to see what you do with it.
Love your enthusiasm for this car, great project vehicle... makes me want one!
New subscriber, really looking forward to seeing the Volvo progress, Merry Christmas. Alex.
Loving the content recently!!
Get in... Congrats on the 100k...well deserved.
you just can't beat that 5 cylinder sound its sounds well sweet .
Love the video mate I've just bought myself 07 plate S60 2.4 in a gorgeous purple and like yours it shifts so much fun
Loving this car! Congrats on 100k bro 🙌
Great video bro! My V70 is the 2.5 AWD. I was surprised what it was capable of when I first drove it and had to buy it. I would suggest EBC Red stuff pads for your brakes. As for power, tuning is really impressive in these Volvos. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Proper nice cars these mate - I had a 2001 C70 2.4 Turbo and the noise was something I always enjoyed. And the seats. I always wished I had a T5 manual though, I say keep this one going and give it a good home.
They are great fun Our garage bought a 850 t5 saloon from auction years ago direct from Strathclyde police
Hell yes, love the T5’s! Hearing the engine sound I just can’t picture the police driving about with that low rpm exhaust note. Defo needs a louder exhaust to unleash it fully.
Truth be told, stuff like this is what a car channel should be about. Looking forward to how this plays out. P.s I ain’t big on volvo but that wedge shape is my face.
Love the 5 cylinder turbo bricks!
I had a twin turbo D5 one, ex Thames valley. Bought it at 3 years old with 150k on it. Ran it for 6 years and it cost me nothing , only tyres and a couple of bushes. Best car I ever owned.
I had a 1998 V70R when it was 2 years old. Had it RICA chipped and loads of upgrades. Go it to330bhp and topped out somewhere(!) at 185mph. Best car I ever had.
The T5 ex-police it's amazing, I like so much the sound
Not into German cars myself but the T5 brought me here! Great buy and plenty of life left in her! That is indeed an R charge pipe (metal instead of plastic) on there and the V70R bumper will go straight on, if it’s off an S60R then you need the whole plastic frame behind which costs around £90 from a Volvo dealer and it’s brought in from Sweden. And yes there are many variations if the white block engine - the B5244T3 in the C30/S40/V50 T5 is the same engine as the Focus. Keep her as a sleeper for sure! Like your presentation style dude 😎
Love these so much that I have three. Currently building my ex police t5 in South London. Going for a hill climb car look
Signed up dude really looking forward to this series. Merry xmas
Love the old T5s

I've got the S80 D5 SE Lux which I bought cheap. Until I watched this video I had no idea what DSTC meant! I also have the same skid warning light but I didn't know it could affect the day to day handling of the car. Thanks for educating me!
Always Great Content from a cool brother. Stay safe & keep it coming !
First video of yours I’ve seen, good stuff, subscribed.
You have picked up a wonderful car .... Love it
I'm all for the BTCC vibe Looks and sounds like an awesome car
Yes been waiting for this! Ps keep it sleeper ;)
Your channel just started getting recommended to me (the Golf R video.) but you get a sub for this car. Will be a fun project with many ways to go with it.
100% go the btcc route with this car , big front splitter all wheels cambered in at the top a bit , tyres with big yellow Dunlop decals etc
ABS rings are prone to splitting on the cv joints that can cause the anti skid service light 👍🏻
If it seems to stutter on boost, be VERY careful as you have boost issues, so do not keep your foot planted as you could be a rod! I had the same and it was the boost control valve and pipes.
Charge pipe is of an R I've got a 70r proper sleeper had it 9 years now still a powerful motor
My V70 T5 is a manual with 263k. I’ve just rebuilt the entire suspension circuit with all new arms, Sachs/TRW shocks and Eibach springs. I flipping love it! Pulls like a train, feels more than 241hp! Need the 17” Comet alloys from the R then I’m happy...for now

No no, it'll cost serious money to get the front tyres to hook into corners the way you'd want for track days. A smooth running 160mph grand tourer with a mean engine note that'll pull nicely between 60-100+ is where this car can give the goods. And there's room enough to add some comforts inside, like a coffee table or whatever.
Had one of these 8 years ago. It had a custom cat and 3" custom resonated exhaust system fitted with stage 1 tune was quick enough for me and sounded similar to the RS3 Audi. Sold it for an almost new Audi A5 2.0tdi so I was clearly having a bit of a crisis at the time!
I had an identical T5 a few years ago - they are surprisingly quick considering how much they weigh
Just realised you were driving near Earlswood lake! Hopefully I’ll see and hear this driving around!
Old skool beast
Loving this! As for a Volvo specialist, would highly recommend Shemtek Automotive Solutions, (Shem Green) he's the go to Volvo tuning wizard. Well worth a message.

Id think intercooler is maybe gash mine was in a bad shape when i got it with similar issues . Wap a foam filter on asap , release the beast ! BLACK GRILLE rocks too ! A chubby stainless pipe and it will be like a different car . Oh aye an a leather steering wheel off a scrap d5 keep your airbag .Old bola b1 look good too ! Im sure you will love it ! Fab big lumps.
V power and yes you do have the v70r charge pipe and you will be surprised on how much fun a Volvo can be with very little mods
Its good but d5 is also pretty killer car , mine is mapped to 470NM of diesel power and 210HP , its spins front tires on 4th gear
Love the T5, so cool!

Still loving my 2003 V70 T5 SE that's on 174K. Geartronic not manual but that's what I wanted for commuting in the city. The 330ft/lb of torque and mid-range boost still brings a smile to my face. Police spec'd larger brake discs than those fitted on earlier models (and I think mine has the larger discs from the factory). Front wishbone poly-bushes sharpen up the handling. I had Koni FSD shocks and Eibach lowered springs fitted all round. It was a popular combo with amazing handling on smooth roads but I found the ride terrible ride on bad surfaces and they ruined the ground clearance so I put the Nivomat self-levelling rear dampers (expensive mistake) and stock springs back but kept the front FSD's which I think are great. I fitted a Jetex Stainless Steel Exhaust which definitely gives more and has a great exhaust note. It is slightly boomy at lower speed but then I'm an old bloke....(the original exhaust lasted 160K miles and 15 years) The 2.3 was considered the stronger block as it has thicker walls so can take more boost/power. I thought the original 5-cylinder in the Focus RS was the same block bored to 2.4 but with a smaller turbo. I look forward to seeing what you do with the car!

Good choice of car bro I had the C70 T5 but it was manual in purple with the 18inch BBS alloys. I thought it was the dogs bolox at the time😁
Apologies, I shunned this channel before for whatever reason but this has made me a subscriber. Enjoy!!
If this is the awd version, the antiskid could be the angle gear collar sleeve..they tend to strip if you launch the car..which you were doing lol. Not always the case with that code but yea launching can do it. The 4t5 block can hold 600hp the stock trans pretty close to that as well
They did 3 different T5 engines with the higher horse power. 2.3 2.4 and 2.5. The original 2.3 is a strong lump. The 2.4 260bhp is the newer engine. The 2.5 R lump is fairly strong. The focus st 2.5 lump is different, and ford messed around with it and ruined it, hence the need for block mods. The earlier ones did suffer with throttle body issues, but being a 2007 it should be on the newer type. S60 / V70 bits are interchangeable. Steering lock is pants on them, 5 point turns everywhere. Real good build quality, and definitely a car to be in if you have a crash. I do miss my S60 T5. Great content Hamza 👍

I own an s60r and trust me if you plan on having a fun build that v70 will be mint
So sick, love a good Volvo 👍 Stick with a sleeper look 😎
thermostat-change is common on the V70n. the later version 2004-2007 had a thicker engine-block between the cylinders and the engine is stronger. :-)
Actually liking the velour seats. Fit the grandpa vibes. Maybe do a gold/sand outside color? Like, super 80's...
