Thanks Kev. Its not a colour that I would have chosen tbh, I much prefer the blue of our old S40, but I just couldn't walk away from this one, it was in such a fantastic condition, and that history... a mythical unicorn

I'll be honest with you, the rear passengers wouldn't thank you if they had to sit behind you. I'm a shorty as is my wife, so our rear passengers have plenty of leg room, but if you put a six footer in the front... nah


I did a few more little jobs tonight. Replaced the headlamp bulbs with some Osram NightBreakers that I had in the garage, replaced a blown tail light, a blown side indicator lamp (those mirror covers are a nightmare to remove!), fitted my mobile phone holder and finally fitted my VOC sticker in the windscreen.

I'll get some new tyres soon and will get the cambelt replaced in a month or two, then the jobs thereafter will be 'desirable' rather than 'necessary' -

- fit my Pure Highway 600 DAB/phone adapter
- sand/polish the dull headlamp covers
- replace the 'cloudy' headlamp glass dome lens with clear ones

So thats it, the S40 is now officially our daily!
