Just browsing the bay, and found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-V70R-AWD-V70-850-850R-BREAKING-WHEEL-NUT_W0QQitemZ140293826336QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item140293826336&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Seller says the MOT ran out, and so decided to break the car?
Guess it depends what it would have needed to get through the MOT?... perhaps...!
Yeah true. My instant reaction was just "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!"
Well i broke my Cassis R AWD 100k, because Volvo wanted over £3k for a autobox, i wasn't prepared to spend that on a car only worth 5k max, recon box was out of the question anyway i hated auto's lol, so i broke her for spares, got over 4k for her in the end, plus i didn't have to shell anything out, still miss the colour of the car, but we all move on, car was awesome in the bends and in the wet,full power left most for dust, Gary PS Safely back in a manual T5 :)

Most people say our cars are for the enthusiasts out there but I beg to differ sometimes.
The angle gear on that car is no good.. needs the whole lot doing prop etc. I was chatting to him the other week.
