....so may have a few questions now and in the near future that you guys maybe kind enough to answer for me.
Bought a 2001 V70 T5 Auto last week, as I need an estate car for work but am a petrolhead first and foremost.
Nice forum btw
Cheers
Mike

+1 for tony, he's in Letchworth [also a garden city :)]
He wont appreciate the extra work though as he's stacked out - but a top bloke & very good Volvo mechanic.
Welcome along!

Welcome to the forum, I was new once, when we bought an S60R, now we have 4 Volvos, so be careful, it becomes an addiction. ;)

Thx guys, pics will follow but it's a white ex-plod car, and after 500 miles today in the "nice" weather, it looks bloody awful lol
Appreciate the info on the local mechanic, sure that will come in very handy, especially as I couldn't find one garage round here that could change my gearbox oil!
