Returned to the folding...
Well, was on here a number of years ago with my V70 98 LPG machine which I eventually sold at ~ 240K miles... since then I've been through a A8 4.2 Quattro sport, a Honda accord derv estate( little one #2 came along) and a VW Phaeton 3.0 TDI... now I've returned to the Volvo fold with a 2004 C70 2.4 convertible.
It's a relative lightweight in the high miles thread bought at 137500 although after less than 4 weeks I'm already over 139K... I commute round the M60 so you can keep your eye open for me if you are that way... the roof will be down as often as I can even at night so that should be a bit of a clue its likely to be me.
Its in pretty good nick overall for a 13 year old car, I had to replace a rear seat belt clip as it was sticking when trying to undo and I didn't want my daughter to be stressed about being able to get out.. The reversing parking sensors are a bit intermittent but I worked out last night that the reversing lights are not always coming on so I suspect a dodgy switch or wire somewhere.. I've also bought a s/h tow bar both to help tighten it up a little but also as I regularly scavenge wood for my wood burner stove so will need a trailer to transport it all now I don't have a cave for a boot. I also need to get some sort of bluetooth adaptor (Yatour or ??? ) for streaming music through. at the min I just bought a cassette adaptor to see me on.
I was thinking of getting a strut brace as well... I've seen them on fleabay for ~ 100 quid... anyone know if they are OK or is there a better one to go for?
