    Our New Addition

    Not a V series, but very close! After a wasted trip to London to see a rat trying to sell us an XC70 with a gushing oil leak (pretty sure it's the rear oil seal), we finally found this at a dealer in Peterborough. We are chuffed to bits and can wait to collect her Friday!

    The XC70 that the little rat that's selling on fleabay is this : 200921518495.

    I've reported it to fleabay in a vein attempt to save some poor sod buying it!

    Looks great although I hate the way that Dealers seem to have this addiction to interior dashboard and plastic silicone spray (look at the steering wheel).

    They use it to cover up dirt rather than actually clean the dirt away. How do I know this? Because I used to valet cars for a living before I realised how little I was earning. I actually cleaned the cars properly but so many just siliconed the things to death and what annoys me even more, is when they manage to spray it on the inside of the windows and on the exterior trim where it then runs down the paintwork as soon as it starts to rain. Cowboys.

    Really, the first thing I'd be doing when I got that car is giving it a damn good clean and a scrub to get rid of the silicone shine before it burns your eyes out in the sun.

    Looks a nice straight car though, glad you didn't fall for the rat's tricks.
