Phase 2 T5 over Phase 3 T6. Latter not as quick, thirsty and no manual plus lacks the persona of T5's

Phase 3 D5 over Phase 2 D5. Former is much more modern in design, feel and ergonomics. My 16...

Ians - sorry the Phase 3 V70 D5 2007 thro 2009 in EuIV format with either the 2.4D or D5 engine is never going to give you the economy you seek through driving style alone.

Sceptical about ECU...

Germarchip - you need a rear spoiler and graded tints for it all to gel.

I like a bit of individuality.

Folks

A 2005 V70R has just started to appear in adverts.

Advise that you carry out proper HPI check(s) and you/mechanic check it over thoroughly.

Not my place to deride anyone but would not...

Whilst it is a facelift car - does that automatically mean that it has the 2.4 engine, as opposed to 2.3?

Welcome.

What do the scaffold poles do :eye-poppi

Justin, I will send an old PM that may put a smile on your face :shy:

Justin - great job over the years. Tough rabble to keep control of but you (and the mods managed to do it).

Santa - all the very best, big boots to fill. Look forward to the development of the...

This has got the making of a great thread - could I request that you stick to the format of the 1st few posters and avoid comments.

Do not want to cause any upset but it started out as a...

Cheapest new shape S80's are at £5K with stellar mileages, whilst £6.5K will see people in a 70-80,000 miles car.

New shape V70s (2.4D) are out there at £6.5K with 125,000 miles whilst ~£7K will...

You would have thought that the S60 with the weight of the diesel lump would be better - NO! :scared:

It is a nice car and has been around for a couple of weeks.

I too think it is priced high but this is dependant on what is included eg years warranty, has it just been serviced and inc new tyres,...

See the posted link in the event that it is the same car? If so, it started life at £12K and they eventually advertised it at £10K but they would not take my £8K offer, even if I "bought blind".
...

The orange interior is Atacama.

Gobi is a light "creamish/tan/?" colour

Nordkapp is closer to blue.

The sonic blue in Liverpool is supposed to be a nice car, but too few toys for my liking....

Thanks. Had not seen this thread until 5minutes ago.

Only this past weekend started dialogue over this exact vehicle.

Staurt @ AC, in the event that you are reading this. Now you may...

:B_thumb:

From what I am hearing - you have saved an absolute minimum of £1000.

I am after a "winter project" - will send you a PM. :rolleyes:

You want to drop width and raise height.

Eg 225/45 x 17 go to 205/55 x 16 (set of rims £50 off e-bay)

If you go from 225/45 to 225/55, suspect you will foul the arches or in "old money" fast...

You are after a facelifted D5 with 5-speed manual box. Do not think the 6-speed was ever mated to "old" D5. Look for clear lights/lenses.

Facelifts started on 54 plated cars.

Lift the bonnet...

Sure this was not KM? If so would give 875miles, but in a EuIV :shifty:

A V70 has a 70litre tank, if 1400 miles were achieved it would equate to 91.2mpg. Even with an 80L tank it would equate to...

Thanks guys - my concern is/was the highly tuned lump and how it takes to LPG and subsequently the longevity of an LPG'd engine.

Does anybody know of, or have experience of, LPG'd V70R (MY 2003 - 2006 variant)? Thanks

Damn these T5/R's -keep getting drawn back to them.

Do you want the 15minute perfect answer?

Whip off the wheel and caliper across - no confusion then.

This is just what I did last week on my S60 and this morning am picking up 4x new discs plus...

You will have to spend a bit more for a car with less than 100K miles OR £5K will buy you a 120K miles cars

Is it geartronic - based on the price of your road fund fee?

Would you let me know via PM how much you want for the towbar - Thx.
