Hello everybody, love the site, be gentle its my first time! lol
Have a v70 T5 with superchip, satnav new shape silver, year 2000, on private plate. had itg filter, but i just had it serviced and mot-ed and they threw the filter away, i was jumping up and down, well went on line and got a F1 BMC, £40 odd seems the same, or do you think the ITG is different?
mot all trouble free, got it back on friday taxed it with new mot over the phone bliss, no more queues with bundles of paper, what could be bad ah!
get in it today and eng man light on and message reads Emissions service required, so its booked in for tomorrow, :slap:
Had her for 18 months now, what a car load carrying dragster he he.
got her at Phil Whit/ cars for 16K nov 2003, was going to swap here for a newer V70R at PWCars, he offered me too little for mine, Hmmm he upped it 2k when itold him where to stick it.
new house, so car has to wait, and iam so impressed with this one that i think i will stay with her. my. can`t get my head around this Depreciation lark
my 16K seems now to be somewhere between 8k-13k, hows it work,?
volvo in canterbury said book they would go for 7and half. yet on the forecourt they have the same car same spec same year,colour up for 12k?
:troutslap

That just STEALERS for you!!! Always best to sell private, BUT, if she's running fine and is trouble free, i'd say it better the devil you know ;)
Welcome BTW :wavey:

Firstly welcome to the forum you've found possibly the best home for T5 lovers on the net.
Regarding the filters it's personal choice. VolvoTuningUK advise the ITG filter and as I understand it have done a lot of work with them in development etc. I've had ITG and K&N and both seem to do the job well.
Regarding the named garage. I've heard one or two stories on here about the place I'm sure those more in the know will fill you in.
Welcome to the sight once more and don't be a stranger.. get stuck in there :)

:welcome:
I have seen this quite a lot. The screen price for main dealer cars is way above the rest of the market. My mate at work just bought a V40 Classic 1.9D on a 53 plate (@ 26K) for £11K from Stratstone, Brum - when the trader has very similar cars from independant dealers for 3 to 4 grand less.??? In answer to your question - I have no idea how they can justify it.
PWCars is a pretty good outfit. I've been there once too and met some of the PW family.

thanks for getting back to me. the site is great, really informative.
trying to post a pic of her, plus anyone heard of a knocking on front suspension? only at very low speeds. been in three times to investigate, with no answers , changed anti roll bar, still does it from time to time, more creaking- than knock i suppose. Asked again last week pre- mot again nothing there, its a real mystery.
