I bought this car from Tetlysmooth on this forum last year as a stop gap due to a smoking turbo on my V70 LPT. It's proved so reliable though that I ended up keeping it a while whilst sorting out a few little niggles with it.
I now really need to ressurect my other two cars before they rot to bits so it's time for this one to serve a new owner.
£475 No offers. I have spent £600 on the car in the last few months alone and it's far nicer then when I got it.
Based in West London
MOT until July 2018
184k
CD Spec:
Premium Alpine sound system
Duel zone climate control with air con
Heated leather seats with electric drivers seat with memory function
Cruise control
Electric windows and sunroof
Central locking
ABS + TRACS traction control
Trip computer
Electric heated mirrors
3 mode auto 4 speed gearbox
GOOD BITS:
Nice reliable MK1 V70 with it's legendary load carrying practicality combined with an engaging, effortless auto driving experience with a great turning circle.
The interior is very tidy with the comfortable heated seats and air con providing a very nice environment whatever the weather.
This car goes, handles and stops well. It certainly does not feel slow and the engine sounds great.
MOT'd until July 2018
Tidy condition all round really plus good tread on the tyres
Does not unduly use any fluids
Other bits that have been done in my ownership:
Full steam clean of the interior
Leather interior treated with Renapur leather restorer
Throttle cable adjusted
New windscreen
ABS/TRACS ECU replaced
Air con regassed (Ice cold)
New front drop links
New handbrake cable
New rear discs and pads
Replaced a worn brake line for the MOT
Fixed the rear window washer
LED licence plate bulbs and CREE LED sidelight bulbs (originals in ash tray 😉)
BAD BITS:
Various small dents and scratches around the car commensurate with age but tidy overall.
Lacquer peel on the rear spoiler
Last cam belt change not known
Could possibly do with a gearbox oil change but it changes fine.
Cruise control not working. I suspect its a vacuum hose under the battery tray
Front fog lights do not seem to work
Rear off side speaker not working
Drivers side electric seat switches are a little flaky but it can always be adjusted just how you like it.
Load cover not retracting but I plan to fix this if I have time
There is an aftermarket alarm fitted that needs to be armed by using the drivers door lock with the key. It can be unlocked remotely though.
There is a slight shimmy from the front brakes when they get warm. It's not an issue. They were recently replaced so have tons of life left.
It could do with an oil change now which I will try and get done. I have the oil and filter and can include these with the sale anyway.
I will be updating this with better pictures etc.
