Hi Guys
Well I have had my V70 R ('53 plate) since July now (I will post up some pics) and so far it's been recovered on a flatbed twice and had god knows how much stuff replaced on it!
The list is:
New N/S rear hub assembly where handbrake gave way and destroyed the hub plus handbrake cables (flatbed recovery no 1)
New brake discs all round
New clutch and flywheel
New cooling fan
New fuel pump (flatbed recovery no 2 )
New battery
Now needs new front struts and mounts
Plus had various other bits like gear selector cables and other known issue bits
The car has now covered 41,000 miles and I have to say I am amazed at the amount of time off the road already. This would have been a £40K ish car 3 years ago. Not a great advert for Volvo I don't think...
But, on the other hand when it is working, Christ does it fly!
All I can say is I'm bloody glad of the warranty on it otherwise I'd be bankrupt by now!
