Spares / Repairs XC90 2005 D5

Have copied this straight from my Facebook post in the xc90 owners group.

“Hi all. What’s this worth? Need it gone. Spares or repairs. Suspect Intercooler and turbo both need to be replaced. Been sat since 14th of October (waiting for the private plates to come off) there’s a video of the engine running attached which was taken today. Has MOT until the end of June next year if someone fancies getting it back on the road.
Stereo didn’t work when I got it so I did all the hard work of installing an aftermarket one (I’m sure some of you on here know what this entails)
Anti-skid, alarm and park assist warnings as to be expected with one of these. Video screens haven’t worked in my ownership (since July 2021) Bull bars, tow bar and side rails are staying on it, so are the XC wheels (fitted with General Grabber AT3s)
Make me an offer, it’s too good to scrap”

Additional information, I had a double din fascia in, I had a pioneer Apple car play head unit in and it was brilliant. The tyres were put on last year, I bought it with bad tyres on and spent £560 on the grabbers. The actual reg number is WF55 OSW, and depending how deep you go into the history you’ll see it was previously an ambulance car. The owner before me swapped the wheels. In the folder there’s photos of it when he bought it. It’s been smoking like a pig the last few months, I had been told it needed an intercooler but decided I didn’t want to spend any more money in it, don’t know if the caused the turbo to fail? - if that’s what it even is? No one has looked at it since I put it in the garden. I got it off the road to get tax refund. I did 33000 miles during my ownership and to be fair it was pretty reliable. Had a new alternator, and the wipers broke their mechanism. Oh and the auxiliary belt snapped. Got them all done obviously, so it basically has a new alternator. The engine itself is fine, I’d imagine it’ll be good for many more miles. Will need towing or trailering away.
