Default C30 T5 Auto 140,000 miles 2007 Reg

Sadly selling my C30 T5 due to requiring another engine
Spend about £3,600 on it this year all work done was at a main dealer

This year at end of January it has had front suspension OSF bottom ball joint boot, link arm NSF anti roll bar link boot
Rear suspension two top mounts and offside rear anti roll bar link
Two brake disc's and pads
Fuel rail pressure sensor
This bill was £1265.81

In May another huge bill £952.75
Work done Offside rear coil spring and rear springs
Two new front tyres
CEM wiring terminals
And a battery

Then in September another £1400.32 spent on it
A thermostat kit
Rear brake discs and pads
Offside front ABS sensor
Electric fan and coolant cap

So basically after getting the car home end of September it sat in my garage for 3 weeks went out one day to get shopping and it started making strange noises and smoke pouring from the engine it cut out and wouldn't start again it was recovered to local Volvo dealer

They did checks on it and told me cylinder head gasket was gone but upon further investigation the values in cylinder 3 and 4 had been washed by water from leaking gasket, the inlet valve guide has dropped out of place and there this wear in the piston crowns

The car is currently sitting at Cleland Volvo in Galashiels Scottish Borders and will need trailered away

Car is an 07 plate with approx 140,000 miles

Open to sensible offers
