Well the last few weeks have been awesome as i finally got a car that i have wanted for many many years a v70 t5 it needed a couple of tiny jobs like the usual tickover issue which was cured by cleaning the throttle body now it ticks over absolutely perfectly, the other was that the cruise control didn't work so i fitted a new clutch switch and it now works perfect but sadly due to being moved in my job i now have to do 80+ miles a day and i just can't keep it ,,,,,, i have driven it like a complete grandad and the best i got was 34mpg and that was pretty bloody boring to be fair so i have now bought a mondeo st tdci which i have had mapped and its avereging 54mpg which is absolutely unbelievable and even when i feel the need to thrash the nuts off it i'm still getting 42mpg,,, obviously for comfort etc it doesn't compare but being a single parent i juat can't justify having such a fun car so for now my dream ends but maybe soon it will return....
