One leaves and another arrives...

So the excuses will start..."though you were scaling down your collection of Volvos"....."thought you wanted to save money by buying a diesel"..... La la la I'm not giving you lot any sort of justification...(maybe tiredness. It got me into to trouble with the V40TDi)..

Anyway within 2hrs of the S40 being collected I picked this up based on 5minutes of viewing. To be honest I actually don't know what I have bought yet....









So it's a 3.0L 24v SE. It has 184000 miles. All the electrics work(couple of bulbs). Engine sounds rock solid.
But...... It looks like there is something wrong with the transmission/propshaft/rear axle.

Put your foot down and the car doesn't take off like I think it should. There is a grinding sound from the rear when turning left (leaning on the right rear wheel).

Interior wise, some of the door cards have wrippled up a bit...

Lacquer has gone from the roof and each corner has been scraped...

So now I need to sit back and let you lot tell me what I've bought....

Now I just need a bit of snow!!
