Just about to buy a Volvo 850 tdi, is there anything over the normal I should be looking out for? That will mean my little LHD RICA'd 855 is up for grabs as well.

Yep, some from april 2006 and the first page is when I got it in June 2004. I will have to change the thermostat and do the flushes before it changes hands, and it could do with a mini service. The wheels are a bit rough around the edges now, but its all good. Pics link at the bottom of the thread. I may swap the tinted windows over with the new one if I get it.

I want as near to £2750 as I can get. I will let it go for £2500 if someone takes it as is and I am open to serious offers. It cost me £5995 back in june 2004, so it has to be a bargain to someone. Nothing a good valet wouldn't solve. Just been to Norfolk and back twice in 2 days and didn't miss a beat, and saw off a lotus elise ,while fully loaded. The only thing I was going to do it, was put the 17" comets on it and upgrade the suspension (koni FSD's) and put a strut brace on it.
