Well folks they say once you defect you always head back! True to that so have I Octavia vRS has now gone and made way for my new (well new to me) S40 2.0D SE Sport.
Alright not a T5 I know but unfortunately needs must and the little 136bhp engine is still lively enough ... for now!
The car has pretty much all foreseeable extras fitted bar sunroof and electric passenger seat and to its credit has full service history from new it has had the cambelt done early and also the DPF changed at 85k so fingers crossed some trouble free motoring.
Plans?
Well give it a bloody good clean and detail for a start, the paintwork seems to be in good condition, I count only two scratches both of which are minor surface and two or three stone chips. The alloys could do with a blast over too but otherwise sound.
Next on the list will probably be a remap and replace two of the tyres which are budget federals, the other two are Hankook S1 Evo so more than good enough.
Thoughts so far? Well it handles well, is ten fold more comfy than the skoda, its frugal, economical, has a fantastic stereo and I think actually looks quite stylish for a Volvo!
