The time has come tomorrow to collect my new motor

Arghhhhh won't be getting any sleep tonight! My quickly disintegrating S40 has finally gone and it's time to replace it with this lovely 2008 57 plate XC70 D5 AWD SE Geartronic!!! I'm so excited it's not true, it's perfect for the family and great for my back and my pocket! They say good things come to those who wait and I'm glad I did cos I managed to pick up this little puppy for £5700!!!!

Here's some pics from the sale ad which will be taken down tomorrow when I collect it!

Can't wait to collect, lots of pics tomorrow! It drives like new despite having 143,000 miles on the clock, it's only an SE but do I care? Do I hell! Now I'm coming to bother you guys over here haha

Please don't make the mistake I made check when the belts and tensioners were changed or are due to be! also the thing that wrecked my engine the A/C Compressor pulley is not failing!

Sure you'll be fine but a little checking out now may keep your lovely car out of expensive trouble in thhe near future.

Good Luck

Thanks for the heads up, it had the belts and water pump done at 134000 and it now has 143000. I'm leaving in 20 mins to pick it up and I haven't slept a wink lol, that's the little ones fault though I swear

Wellllll?.....
What was the drive home like?

Still like it?

Sasha94 · Aug 11th, 2015, 16:44

Just on our way home getting some food, love the car!!!! Can't find the iPod lead though? It's the Volvo Bluetooth with the thingy on the dash. So confusing, I rung the previous owners Mum by accident haha. Laura says it's very posh. More pics later

ONLY an SE? It must have plenty toys. Very nice motor indeed. One thing I've noticed about Volvos is that they seem to wear their mileage extremely well, don't you think?

All,

Well reading the last few comments has really cheered me up!!!!

I shall start saving now, I thought my bill for the main ECM was eye watering enough.

Cheers

Sasha94 · Feb 6th, 2016, 13:43

I know, cheery innit

In other news the tank is still going strong on the broken the throttle body because I've been tremendously busy and I haven't fitted the second one I ordered after the first one never turned up! The engine management light is on to let me know though haha and a few weeks ago we got this!!

M

It's over 152k now

Sasha94 · Feb 22nd, 2016, 18:44

Sooo, a small win on the XC amidst being horrendously busy I got around to changing the number plate lights

Old and new

And done

Also still have this to fit haha

2011 model year D5 badge for the boot

Nice one, led I presume?

If so where did you pick them up from, mine look like your old ones and would like to change but was not sure LEDs would work without causing faults?

Been busy on mine this last weekend, not had chance to even do the car pro DLUX yet!

Plus need to do a power steering change this weekend judging by colour of my fluid.

Still considering a new grill just need to save the pennies........

Thanks in advance
