2005 Volvo S60r
2005 Volvo V70RJust got this as a daily motor, not going to do much to it .
This is the way it was when I picked it up .
The main point was the Mpg as I need to a fair number of miles over the next 18 months or so.
D3 is a 5 pot 2L diesel with 150 bhp so it's a fun little car to drive.

Love the colour on your D3, I thought it was only for Polestar, really suits it! Envious on your economy too haha.

Thanked 398 Times in 323 PostsI was actually pleasantly surprised how well they drive, read plenty of motoring reviews that said they were a blunt tool, but I've driven plenty of alternatives and these seem harsh, maybe there were a host of decent handling related changes on the final revision?

Thanked 1,556 Times in 1,277 PostsFirst thing that needed doing was the rear brakes .
Also quick coat of paint to keep the rust at bay.
