I decided to go back to my roots and replace my mondeo daily with something a little more special. This is my 2nd 940 diesel, 5th 940, and 8th volvo. Ive always kept an eye on 940's and old volvos alike since ive had a few. Ive never really found a nice condition diesel. They all seem to be work horses. Battered and scruffy, and mostly auto. When this cropped up i snapped it up. They have quite a following, and the engine, the D24 is a VW engine lifted from the LT series. They are an old school, rattly, not really economical straight six turbodiesel. Only have a few pics of her currently: She had a straight pipe exiting just in front of the rear drivers wheel and sounds awesome! A few things that swung it for me are: - Dark grey paintwork - Toad alarm - Hydra alloys - Egg crate grill - Manual

Loose the wheels and slam it, that would look epic. You know the same mods apply to the d24 as the om606....

My mates just bought one with collapsed suspension (albeit petrol) and it looked absolute ace slammed on its , had so much road presence! This will never make as much as my old 606. The pump isnt an inline its a rotary and the engine isnt up to much. Someone did do rods, pistons the works and got 250bhp but its alot of effort. I'm happy with a twiddled fuel pin and more boost when i get to it lol

You can buy alot of stuff for that. You will make 250 on stock engine parts easily, the swedes have pushed past 400 with mods. You know you want to.....

I should have hung in there longer and kept looking for a manual wagon...though the autos are nice...there is nothing like rowing through the gears.
nice estate...I like the color too....

The pumps are good. People still favour the inline p pump though. Ive never heard of a D24 going that high? Most ive ever found proof off is 250 from a guy in the uk.

Good to see you back in the Volvo world. I've seen that car in person, when the previous owner had it.
