Hi guys Picked up a 2006 2.4 T5 manual.. Are there any active local members about? I've a few plans, just tidying up etc. I've already had it mapped so it feels pretty strong. Also, my first volvo. Cheers

Thanks for the warm welcome! These aren't my pictures, I'll take some when I've had the wheels done and had a proper enhancement detail. It's pretty bland to look at in fairness, but it's a bit of a sleeper but all the better for it! Image Image Image

Appart from the wood and the alloys it looks really smart, the interior looks in very good condition too, from the pictures anyway.

The reason I said about the alloys is, it's a T5 and they should have a bit of road presence in my eyes, those wheels are just standard S60 ones at least 850 T5s had different wheels from the rest of the gang, it just looks like Volvo can't be bothered anymore.

Amazin how everyone knows better than the managers. Cos I have a skinhead & am English everyone assumes I love football here - I get asked about 5 times a day my thoughts on XX team, so I just launch into a rant in how the players are all greedy £££££££s who couldn't give a toss about their country. There are other sports!! I went fencing last night for example, good fun

Post 719218 by volvokid on 2014-06-15 22:01:10

Haha fencing I used to do that at school entered a competition in Shetland and wick, I would put my back out now doing it.

The interior looks as good as the pics, it's spotless.. I like the wood myself. Agree about the wheels though! But I'd not go aftermarket.
