Hey there,
Well, it's finally happened - I'm now a fully signed up T5 lover.
Picked up my 850 yesterday and the drive home was so much fun, I wished Carlisle and Newcastle were further apart!
Sorry, I dont have anywhere to host the pics...

Thanked 229 Times in 169 PostsI'm glad she found a good home - she looked rather sad sitting unused in his driveway.
How's she run?

Thanked 8 Times in 8 PostsThanks for the feedback! She runs really well, no weird noises and a very smooth ride all round - who ever used the expression 'pulls like a train' is bang on in my book.
Plus it's been snowing in Newcastle today- I've just discovered the joys of heated seats

Thanked 8 Times in 8 PostsIf you phone a main dealer & give them the VIN, they'll know whether it needs doing, or if it's already been done.

Cheers, Chris.
Rang the Volvo dealership at Silverlink (NE) - didn't even need the VIN, just gave them my Reg and he confirmed the recall had been done.
Whilst I was at it, I passed him my Stereo SN/Model and he pulled up the security code over the phone, so I now have a working CD player! yay!Bob
