Hi all - great site - new car

Post by steve850 »

Good day to all, just a quick hello and thanks for a great site and to share the excitement: picking up a spotless 04 XC70 2.5t in the morning. (to replace the ageing 850 platinum)

Great deal on a well maintained car, that I probably would not have bought without the information available here ( I was looking at a few P1's and thanks to the forums avoided some original TCM's and potentially bad transmissions!)

Looking forward to many more Volvo years!

Cheers

A fewpictures of the new car. Paid a very good price because it needs an upper engine mount, rear brakes and rear suspension, all things I can do myself at reasonable cost. My only disappointment is the automatic tiptronic; a little sluggish in "manual" mode, but this will be my wife's daily driver... (maybe :-) )
