my new v40

[rossmc88]

A few years ago, I got a ride in this T5-R:

Ever since, I have wanted a Volvo estate

After searching for ages, I came across this in Glasgow on the Volvo OC forum
Scott wouldn't sell me his T5-R :(

It's nice and low mileage - 71K
Full service
Top spec T4 sport with winter pack - heated seats and factory fitted HIDs
New mintex discs and pads all round with braided hoses and 5.1 brake fluid

I bought some ultra racing front and rear strut braces from a Volvo OC forum member for the ultra great price of £80 delivered :)
I'd highly recommend the quality of the ultra racing braces

Fitted them today

I've also fitted some genuine bosch aero wipers as the cheapo aero wipers it had kept leaving a streak right in the drivers view, was driving me mental

These are a great way to spend £18 since it's always raining up here in Scotland

I've ripped out the sony CD changer it had and i'm fitting a Sony single DIN unit with Bluetooth, so I can stream music from my phone. I hope it doesn't look too chav-tastic.

If it does, it will fit in with the burger king wheels it has (anyone want to swap for some good craters?)

I'm going to buy a genuine volvo din pocket for a better install. I'm thinking wiring it in is going to be fun with the factory volvo sub and amp

Well it will be For Sale shortly (couple of things to fix and Cambelt)...

[The Flying Moose]

The car looks really nice. I have always liked the last of the V40's. The small revisions like headlights etc make a real difference.

I see she came with a private reg too.

[JUDGENINJA]

Yeah saw that too...nice although no one else would understand.

My old car its looking good, I still miss the high pressure surge :-( ,the number plate came with the car and your right no one really gets it, my girlfriends parents neighbours asked if I was a doctor or a pilot (the FLU bit) looked a bit gutted when I said I worked in IT :-).....

My V40 was like a load lugging go-kart! Nice car fella
