Thank you,

There is much everyone can learn regarding high miles. For me it’s auto box, haldex but also power steering fluid.

At 115k my fluid was grey and sedimenty. I simply dip from the header tank and keep refilling with fresh. I have known several v70s scrapped as the steering rack is so expensive to replace.

Will look into what you say.

Any other tips?
