Massive amounts of thanks for your advice. I have just bought a cheap C70 2.0lpt 03 105,000 full service history with problems Knew about- stood for 6 months, flat battery fitted new now though, loads of travel on a spongy brake pedal and I knew the gearbox was a bit iffy but, after picking it up I noticed the gearbox is loads worse after driving it for longer.The box wont change when it is supposed to, it changes when its not supposed to, I can feel engine braking on slowing down from about 40mph(is that normal?). It is also hesitant selecting into drive from neutral or park 2/3 seconds sometimes, oh yes with a clunk. I know that I need to replace top engine mount for definate. I spoke to a volvo specialist in Bristol today and I requested software update and gearbox flush. then go from there. some people have said on here that a flush can dislodge crap and gunk that will make it float into the running of the gearbox and do it no good at all. The way you described changing the oil sounds so much better and I can do it myself, would you advise on a software update just so that everything is updated anyway, also with the battery being so flat? Is there any cheating ways of getting the oil in the box quicker i remember that being a pain(especially with a broken wrist at the mo
I would appreciate any advice you can give me on this matter
Cheers simon
