    Bills Pre-Brexit stage zero....

    Hi
    In the last few thousand miles I’ve been plugging away trying to get my cars back to showroom condition (or better). I’m running a 2005 Volvo XC70 Ocean Race D5 as my daily, and a 2004 volvo V70R as my weekend car. (Some may recall my modification thread a while back, however this thread is purely focused on maintenance)
    With the uncertainty of Brexit looming and not knowing how parts supply and delivery would be impacted, I decided to order everything in advance and aim to complete by end of March 2019.
    Below are the pics of my cars with the maintenance works. (Yes I’m fortunate enough to have my own 2 post ramp in my garage at home which makes things a hundred times easier)
