I bought a V70 5 speed manual today

JRL, you are not the Volvo King. Or maybe you are... either way, the problem is few know, and none care.

We're all just guys with something in common on an Internet forum.

I've been cutting you slack for a couple years, since your last ban. You're on notice.

Give me a break.... for what???? a roll eye!
I rarely post much these days anyway

(BTW, I've rarely seen a bad slave here except on Rs)

Apparently this has had a new clutch within the past 3K miles.

I had posted this because someone said it did. He was incorrect and knows absolutely nothing about this wagon so as for the clutch, TBD after I drive it!

How does an arrogant jerk like this get 5 stars, doesn't make the rating system seem trustworthy?

Who cares if someone knows everything about Volvos, unless they were the Engineer designing it they are no more than a glorified fact guy... Big deal reciting options and stats.

The stars correlate to the number of posts a user has made.

Perhaps take the star system away? I mean, there is post count right there.

Did I upset you?
I was referring to someone who is not even here and now made my life a bit more difficult.
See, so now that can make you happy...

Lets all stay civil please. We all have our good and bad days. Skip over posts or use ignore function if you feel offended by someone, and use PM to bring mod or admin issues to the attention of staff, not the Fora per MVS rules.

Well, this is about ready for sale and will be moved to a new sale post next week after I button up a couple of very minor things.
I had to install a new flywheel (&*(#&$^*#&&*#$ ($$$$$$) along with another new clutch and plate.
This one is now near perfect with low miles for a 2004 so if anyone may have interest before I spend more money on advertising, please let me know.

To anyone who was interested in what happened, the dealer DON BEYER VOLVO in VA had the gall to install a clutch while not even testing out the flywheel which was locked up.
If they had done the job properly the first go around; myself, the dealer who bought it before me (and had to dump it in 3 weeks because it was not drivable) and perhaps the original owner who traded it at that time, not wanting to deal with the mess the dealer created...none of this probably would not have happened.
Again, stay away from DON BEYER VOLVO for service as it seems they are totally incapable of doing a big job properly.
