Afternoon all just bought myself a 2001 c70 2.3 t5 after hearing about it languishing in a garage for 5 years i went to have a look and bought it on the spot
for the bargain price of £300.......it has a few issues but nothing that cant be sorted with some help from you guys
Bargain! Welcome. What's the list of things to fix?
i've spent the past 2 days replacing the disks calipers and pads all round replaced plugs and filters and oil change done srs orange warning light on engine coolant warning light on....although theres plenty of fluid in there master cyl needs a new seal kit cd player wont work
Car looks good and a manual. What a bargain but I hope you get the issues sorted easy enough. Oh, and welcome!!
Welcome along :) A manual T5 for £300??!! Small problems there, once done you'll have a cracking car for buttons. ABS light will either be the reluctor rings on the hubs full of crap or split, or dry solder joints on the ABS ECU board. Wobbly Dave on here used to fix them, maybe worth giving him a shout. Coolant light is most likely a sunk float in the expansion tank. Replacement tank is cheap enough, or you could always unplug it. If it has the three disc head unit, they're nearly always broken. Just take it out and shove something different in the hole. Double din units fit with a little fettling. Oh, if it hasn't got one already - fit a strut brace up front. Makes a world of difference to the scuttle shake, but it never goes away.
Looks nice. Barging price!!! Nice find
welcome to the club :)
:welcome:

[QUOTE=Biff;800815] any more bargains?? :)[/QUOTE] If you're that desperate to get back in a Volvo, Biff, come a take a couple off my hands! It's getting beyond a joke now :lol:
Welcome
Welcome and yes i do still repair abs ecus. Not many asking me these days. I have a few c70 spares if you need them.
[QUOTE=welsh-t5;800818]i'm in costa del rossett biff[/QUOTE] A stones throw from me. I've had 2 p1's so can advise if needs be. Steve I will only have a t5 after being spoilt. I'm hoping I either move closer to work or work closer to home before I get another. At the min I'm enjoying & modifying (on a massive budget) a 170bhp & 276lb ft standard golf estate. Proper q-car. lol
Welcome along
