Just joined the forum after buying my first volvo. I have a 2006 v70r (jap import). 55k miles. It comes with the 6 speed auto box, so presume this is one of the later boxes which (I hope has the newer Haldex). Has new suspension all round which wasn't installed correctly at the back, so got a fair few hundred quid knocked off for that one.
A few known issues:
Needs new disks and pads
Rear wiper doesn't work
Rear washer leaks into cabin (needs a new plastic connector)
Stereo doesn't work (could be din cable to amp, back in the multicoloured spaghetti tomorrow). Going to get it sorted and then replace with an android head unit.
Battery keeps going flat because I keep leaving the keys in it (was driving an A6 where I just jumped in a pressed a button to start and jumped out at the other end, it's taking a while to get used to a key again)
Strange Japanese sat nav needs removing. Pop up screen on dash has been replaced with something ugly. Sat nav will be on the new head unit, so probably just going to blank it off.
Got it booked in at the garage tomorrow so we can check underneath and all four corners. Probably start adding a bit to the list.
This place has been great help already.
