Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to drop in (I know I haven't been active for a while on the V70 page), I have just picked up before weekend a very clean and honest 440 Si Auto, K reg 1993, with 64k on clock, last lady owner 13 years, 2 previous.

This is an auto for my wife to learn in, and for local trips too, bit easy to nip into town here in Rural Devon and stand a chance of parking, compared to a Ph1 V70 lol.

A few little jobs to do, nothing major, just minor little fixes, just done a broken washer jet, think I got the last one on the shelf here in the Uk courtesy of Tyn-Lon Volvo in Anglesey !!

Will be after a few bits and bobs, so will post on the wanted list.

Cheers,

Jay.

Welcome along

The 400 series are very underrated little cars IMO, bullet proof Renault engines, etc.
Just let down by rust and sometimes questionable Dutch build quality, mainly in the wiring on more specced up examples.

Great little cars for bobbing about in though. Reasonably simple to work on and quite frugal really
