Usually on VOC forums but now that I actually have an R I thought I'd branch out a little. Just thought I'd pop on and say hi from Leicestershire! Here he is; [ATTACH=CONFIG]29451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29453[/ATTACH] Needs a few bits sorting; AWD - pulling away shudder Top mount polybushing Front bumper has a nasty crack/scrape Rear needs a respray

Do see a few older Volvo's kicking around here though, especially 940s.

Look out for a Nautic R in Leicester itself next week as I'll be passing through. Let you know exactly where I'm going when I know......

I'm going to Gorse Hill Ind. Est. Leicester to see a potential new customer. Would imagine that it's A50 most of the way from the M1......

[QUOTE=foammanmark;782028]I'm going to Gorse Hill Ind. Est. Leicester to see a potential new customer. Would imagine that it's A50 most of the way from the M1......[/QUOTE] I would go, M1, A50, A46, Anstey lane and its somewhere off there. Its quite simple.

[QUOTE=foammanmark;782037]I will be on sat nav...............and it will probably be your route.[/QUOTE] You can go further on the a50 and go a slightly different route, but where it turns into Groby road a50, there are lots of roadworks going on for the next 12 months and it can get really busy. If you get off the a50 at the a46 roundabout, the turn off and subsequent roundabout for Anstey lane is the next exit (your literally on the a46 for about a minute). Unfortunately, because of the road works on Groby road and the surrounding area, the traffic is generally worse all around there.

hello & :welcome:, we welcome all ex & current VOC members :) is your n/s/f indicator sticking out a little btw

Post 782076 by fepaf on 2015-08-16 23:17:29

Good spot! The bumper isn't sitting right at the minute owing to a car park knock which accentuates the indicator issue - It wouldn't surprise me if the tabs on the indicator have snapped and it's being held on with adhesive. Many thousands of posts on VOC, feels strange to start at 0 again :)
