Hello everybody. Just wanted to introduce myself and give a bit of back ground. I own a v70 estate, 2006 D5 with 114k on the clock, I bought it from a dealer in Chesterfield area just over a year ago and only found out they were a pair of Arthur Daily's after I bought it. I test drove it and was really impressed by the condition, fortunately I got away with it and its a lovely car. I did ask them if the cam belt had been changed and if it had been serviced recently, they gave me a sheet of their heade paper with "cam belt replaced and full service " typed on it, hmmm. Anyway when I got it home took it straight to a local volvo shop and got the belt changed and also a very full service. To be honest Ive spent a lot of money on it, auxcilliary belt and tensioner, a c serviced ,new tyres. tinted windows and handsfree kit, but I was also using it for work so to be honest its paid for itself at least in what it has earned for me. Ive had no real issues except with the autobox which was a bit iffy to start with, I gave it thre oil changes and now once its warmed up its actually quite smooth, so I can live with it. Ive just returned from a tour of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands with her and it did'nt miss a beat. So thats pretty much it, sorry if this seems a bit of a ramble. best regards. Alan48
