I seen that knob on egay, I was thinking about a de-spaceball.

You can get R type handle covers from Volvo, they are leather bound and smart.

[grainqey]

anybody know if this is the FPR off the R's ?

afaik i've got the older single pump as i dont have the cover for the fuel sender with two pumps on the drivers side but have a single cover on the passenger side under the rear bench, the walbros in the post lol so can flog if i end up not needing it

I thought all S60's used a saddle tank so should be a sender passenger side and sender/pump on the drivers side. Did you check under the carpet?

lol no thanks gaz, i'll come supervise you if you like?
might give a small demonstration if i must pmsl!
....i was crawling across on just the padding under the seat on my knees finding all these tiewraps from plod chopping them all open

[Dream3r]

The R's can hold 8 litres more fuel than the reg s60 it must be a different tank.

[GazT4R]

Still may use the same twin pump sender unit but just not have the saddle style tank which requires the second sender to activate the crossover valve.
You'll have to check with MRG or pull it out yourself.
