Just bought a bog standard high miler, 1998 V70 2.5 TDi: Silver, leather interior, 16" wheels. Plans are polybushes, 40mm drop and a fresher set of 17"/18" Volvo rims. Engine runs sweet, and will consider tuning later, but for now I basically wanna turn her into a "sporty daily diesel"
Hellooo & :welcome:
Ello :) How do you mean hi miler? 200k is still a run in around here lol
hey there and welcome! but yeah 200k nowhere near a high miler. im sure a lot of the ex-plod boys are running a lot more =)
Welcome along, gone to see another oil burner!
Welcome along :) As said, we don't mind starship mileage around here! Come to think of it, I wonder who's has been to the furthest planet?? Oh, I dropped your engine's older (and one cylinder longer) brother in my 960, so there are a few derv munchers on here ;)

Hello and welcome. Is there a thread somewhere listing peoples mileages and car age? They do seem to cover the distance well :)

Welcome :)
Thanks for the welcome guys. Mine's got about 286,000 on her, so your faith in high milers is encouraging :). Just moved house today, here is a terrible pic of her trans-abodes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]27834[/ATTACH]
