Got rid of my lpt awd ph1 v70 a few years ago, as I didn't need a tow car any more, due to rebuilding my track car. Then when I was finished it, I went out & bought a diesel mondeo to tow it with. This was fine until I decided to tax & test the track car, so I could have a play on nice days. This is when I knew the mondeo wasn't going to hack as a daily it any more. Almost killed myself pulling out with no power. So the search was on to find another volvo.
Got myself this v70 t5 ex plod with prins LPG & love it. Guys on the ph2 forum, prepare yourself for lots of questions. :doh:
Cheers john

I've got a 3 door sierra, with thundersaloon kit. Converted to 4x4. Good fun. The Clio is a great wee track car.
Cheers John

The v6tt was from when the car was fitted with the 2.9 engine from a xr4x4, with the twin turbo kit from turbo technics. But was very hard to get any more power from & used to eat head gaskets. Now fitted with a cosworth stage 3 yb. But that's soon to change due to the cost if anything goes wrong with that. Looking at around £2500 for a replacement engine. So I'm planing to fit a t5 engine with adapter plat to run a rwd mt75 at first, possibly returning to 4x4. With an emerald ecu.
