Finally got myself a T5.

[Rick448]

After much hassle and time getting a deal for my old car i have now got my T5!! I'll post some pics when it is clean as the 120 mile trip home got it filthy. It is a P plate 854 CD manual with Rica chip (304 or thereabouts :slap: ) It is certainly a lot different from the car it replace (chipped Octavia Vrs) But all in all i like it. There are a few things i will be uprating as and when i can afford it, but at least i have now finally got my T5 :B_steerin

Who do you use for servicing/repairs on yours? Are there any good independants near us?

[JackT5]

Hi and i'm just up the road in Immingham, done all my own servicing etc on mine so couldn't say about independants. Will have to start looking soon though cos i've promised myself a new(er) one in the near future. Although i haven't used em for services John Morris have always been very helpful and actually enjoy talking about Volvo's in general.
