This post is spot on couldn't agree more. Warming up to temp before any progressive driving and letting it sit on idle after a decent run helps too

2006 163 bhp on 223k no engine issues other than a broken swirl arm. Runs like new origeonal clutch and I tow with it quite often. Not well serviced due to laziness. Best engine I've ever seen and I'm in the car trade since I could walk!

D5 going strong!
I inherited my 2003 S60 D5 SE auto in 2011, my dad had it for 4yrs before that. 119000 on the clock. No issues. Serviced every year love it. Got a bit of a heavy right foot myself but what a car. Seriously just passed mot again not even an advisory. Really considering investing in some upgrades could do with any tried & tested ideas, advice on what route to take. But as far as unreliable goes? NO WAY!!

#1 163 on 184k, the only fault on the entite car in its entire lifetime is an ABS ring.
#2 185 Polestar on 155k, zero faults in the entire car in its lifetime. #3 200 on 170k (recently sold), zero faults on the entire car in its lifetime. #4 185 on 62k...only owned it a few months so cannot hand on heart say, although its sewing machine smooth and quiet. All owned from new, other than #4. Most importantly in my mind all (other than #4) have been maintained absolutely correctly with no shortcuts or attempts at penny pinching, all as reliable as granite. Any suggestion the D5 family is inherently unreliable is utter rubbish.
