[Closed] Captain Flashheart you're a Volvo man right?

nice V70 T5/R = oxymoron 😉 sorry you invited it.

Heathen!

🙂

Mines a rarer beastie than a T5...! It's a V70AWD-T. Slightly less loony tunes than the T5 and T5R, but the AWD makes it lovely!

Oh, and T5Rs rock...especially the old shape CustardWagons!

If you're buying and fitting parts yourself, try http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

For service, whereabouts are you? I use either www.carpenters.co.uk or King's when I'm in the country.

Im West Midlands based but i need various bits doing and i'd like to find a regular garage i can trust.

Also it needs to be cheap as i want to race DH this season and the age old fly needs some TLC!

Doh double posting crap hands...

Have a look at http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/ to see if there are any reliable local specialists near you.

Worth looking at a main dealer if you have a high milage one, as they do a really good deal on service and parts for them.

oh I'd love an AWD Ovlov, my dear old 850 GLS (facelift v70 style) is still a great old barge though 🙂

Comfy for the chickens eh MrN?

Is 152k high mileage for an Ovlov?

Needs some tlc - fairly major oil leak which needs the block cleaning to locate, new exhaust manifold and some brake work (nearly too imbalanced to pass MOT)

Just about run in!

Qualifies for the high miler discount, so try a main dealer first.

Seriously Volvo Stealership? I assumed they would be hideously expensive!

Try this place.....I have heard they are good.
