    Brought her home

    Went to high wycombe this morning to pick up the new addition, apart from a few problems the seller mentioned its all sweet, 143k full service history, engine and auto box lovely,

    broken headlight........replaced already
    various bulbs out.......done
    Abs pump..........have one ready to fit
    boost leak........ do that another day
    wheel bearing.....this is really noisy and wish i hadnt thrown my v70r hubs away now lol, partsforvolvos.com do a new hub for £62

    apart from the cloth interior is really nice, wants some black leather seats and door cards soon

    £295 with 3 months Mot and 6 months Tax, got to be the bargain of the year?
