more daily less eco driving, timing belt broke halfway through tank and was replaced.

With the utter lack of a locking torque converter, realising the limitations of this auto transmission for eco driving, where the other SAME CAR has a manual, it comes natural, this automaic volvo is a real work of concentration to get even close. Urban or Highway

Suburban delivery

Removed the rear spoiler again, will make a better one for the purpose of milage later, however the trunk has a harse edge anyway, so may not be needed. [Needs experimenting]

Blocked grill, re-opened lower valance oem vents, but shrowded all its intake air into the airbox and radiator with some corogated plastic sheeting.

Re-installed a smoother version of the engines belly-pan, origonal is long gone.

Panel gaps up front have been all but sealed using weather stripping, around the hood, grill, headlights.

Used silicone to smooth out some of the turbulant areas around the windsheild edges, oem trim gone, much of the roof edge still left un-finished after a rollover, uneven.

lots of idling while setting up programmable fan controller, switched to a more urban delivery environment versus suburban, rarely reach 60kph to get the transmission into top gear

grill cover removed for summer months (its debatable weather it is better to run the fan more or and leave in for aero benefit, or visa versa.

Advanced ignition timing approx 5 degrees, noticeable better power at low end. Still ongoing wiring harness issues, engine is applying power while stopped in gear, disconnected idle controll valve to maintain a constant lower idle for the meanwhile.

premium fuel (currently shell v power)
