Hello P2 ers!

Ooh innit all nice and spangly in here?!!

Bought myself a 52 plate V70 D5, and I'll be honest the drive was very nice indeed! (even with the extra hour an half traffic jam on the M4)
It's a high mile dark metallic grey which drives pretty much spot on. DMF, DIM and intercooler have been replaced.
Only niggles are a creak on full lock when stationary and grumbly wheel bearing. Seems tip top other than that.

Yes love to see some pics.

**cherry1809** · Saturday 2nd November 2013, 19:30

Needs a wash after the trip back, It's dark and I'm 3 sheets to the wind...
Gotta pop into work tomorrow so will get some then... Hopefully not with dead livestock in the background. Lol!

Glad your happy, looking forward to the piccy's tomorrow.

See if your still enjoying it after a few weeks, I have a real dislike for my 2.0t........no soul, character or anything that gives it any sort of personality. If it wasn't for the mpg then it would be for sale very soon. But at least yours will have a decent soundtrack to it.

**V70 Graham** · Sunday 3rd November 2013, 16:11

Going to get a health test on the engine... Then maybe a Rica
