RiPsTa33 came over this evening and took my first Volvo away :( Gonna miss the old girl as we have a lot of memories of our youngest with her. Still, at least we still have the V70. Anyway, I hope she has many more miles in her. :beer:

Any plans on a replacement?

[quote=Santa;520311]Any plans on a replacement?[/quote] No, just the V70 I bought to replace the 850 when the gearbox went. I had no plans to get the 850 back on the road due to lack of funds. If I got another I might be tempted with a manual saloon (either an 850 or S70 either way not an ME7) but the kids will have to be out of their car seats first. Here's a few more pics of them together after I gave them both a wash (just before it started raining)

Stripping a green V70 this weekend so we have a spare gearbox to put in the 850 just incase its knackered. Should be back on the road next week. Even raking through my parts collection and looking at japanifold, 16T, blue injectors, decat and a few other tricks i have lying around :shockedbi

Been extremeley busy of late so progress is slow, got her on the ramp now and took the gearbox out yesterday. Contemplating whether to just replace the oil seal or put this box in out of the V70. 16T going on today, aswell as quite a few other things. Chris
