Hi,
I got my C70 about 3 weeks ago, i previously owned a Renault Megane 2.0 16v but being a french car, it was showing its age, i bought her on 85k and put 20k on in a year, did me well, but i could tell there were some issues coming along, and seeing as i do a long trip to and from work, i wanted something that wouldn't fall apart quite so easily.
My brother has a C70 a couple o' years back and iv liked them since,. Id have had one sooner but my insurance was far too much, but i happen to do a quote for one, and i was pleasant y surprised Even better was my renewal which has just come up! (cheaper than if i had kept the megane and renewed that!)
I don't have a lot of money so i had to get them best with what i could afford, a couple popped up in my area, but i didn't trust them,, Especially as non had a mention of the EML dooferything being replaced.
This one i bought popped up on bay and hit all the right marks, good service history, the EML and software had been sorted and a few other bits as well as a good service.
Iv put a K&N Panel filter in and a new stereo (original one was shafted)
On the drive back from wales when i got it, i noticed the power steering whirred when i turned, this was the little plastic piece that had come off!
there was also a funny juddering between 50 - 80, changing the tyres changed this!
This is when i got it:
And after a good session with the clay bar, ultimate compound, ultra deep shine and dodo juice wax:
And this weekends job of changing the grill, sprayed it myself in the garage:
Jobs to do:
Replace the drivers side spotlight as it has been smashed at some point (tried this weekend but its bloody hard to do without proper tools!!)
finish off the grill with a new volvo emblem and original slanted "thing" from the original grill
Strut brace (maybe)
Sort heater blower out - i cleaned the sensor which fixes it for 2 days, then packed up again
All in all, very happy with it,
