Well I took the plunge and got another c70 since mine has died, and she's a dream to drive, I'm going to strip some of the stuff off my dead C70 before selling it as spares.

My grey C70 has an auto dim rear view mirror and I kind of got used to it can it be swapped to the C70 without the auto dim or does it have to be programmed or something?

also when the T5 starts it blows out a bit of blue smoke the garage said its just been serviced new oil, oil filter etc and showed me all the receipts and a lot of money has been spent on it, should I be worried about something?

The mirror will just need wiring in, if you're lucky, the loom will already be there, and it'll be plug and play, if not you'll need a live to it, and earth it on the bodyshell.
Blue smoke on start up is usually either worn valve stem seals, or worn turbo seals, either way, not a 5 minute job.

Easiest way to check the turbo is to take a boost pipe off and see if there's much oil in it, should be a bit, but not an excessive amount.
