Blade has a xc90 t6, give him a shout mate.
Most of the parts are from S60/s80/v70 so any possible issues you'd find on those would apply to the 90.
i like them nice family motor
Im thinking about getting on to. D5 though. T6 would be to thirsty for me
My gaffa has a V8 xc90 with the extra seating from standard, sounds great lots of room and really comfy.

Viking, anything specific to watch out for? Were they all geartronic? Not a major issue if so as my t5 is.
Mines a d5 manual its had angle gear, clutch, loads of wheel bearings loads of electrical issues like loss of headlights on a mountain in scotland in the dead if night, abs sensor issues, suspension mounts dont last long, rear wash pipe freezes below minus 15 turning the boot into a power shower. Thats the stuff that springs to mind without really thinking about it. That said mine does get driven hard, goes offroad and is quite often off the ground all together due to a local shortcut
What year and milage has your covered. Think if i was to buy one of these then id had to accept ill be underneath changing the colar on anglegear. Id want 2004 or newer if budgetvalliwed to avoid electrical gremlinsQuote:

My angle gear faliure was more than the collar and also forgot the other regular fail on these the clutch master cylinder leak that is a total pig to fix
