Mot till 18th Aug, tax till end Sept, usual post-lowering clonks and tired bushes, tyres, propshaft joints but a good rot-free car with a strong engine and loads of space. Proper Volvo boot liner to keep the engine oil out of the carpet and a tow bar so it's the perfect car/parts chaser
Something not quite right with the gearbox in the last couple of weeks, hangs in the lower gears longer than it should, no idea if this is a major problem, or whether it just needs a fluid change or if it's a clogged vacuum pipe or something. But I'm honest so I'm telling you instead of leaving it as a nice surprise
Got to sell it for funds to get my Dodge back on the road, otherwise I'd be keeping it cause it's cool as beans.
Looking for £200 and could bring it to RR show on Saturday
The following might be included in sale, depending if they're wanted and how much I'm being offered:
-2 brand new heavy duty Volvo rear springs ready to be cut as I was going to stiffen it a bit and raise it half an inch or so (but never got round to it)
-front and rear shocks/inserts and rear susp bushes
-Comedy bow tie which squirts water (don't ask me, just found it in the car the other day, but it's yours if you want it)
Car's in central London, pm me or email paulwakely at gmail.com, O7763 882I25
Don't offer me any chips for it, I'm on a diet
EDIT FOR GOOD NEWS: Gearbox isn't knackered, it was just a sticky kickdown cable, now sorted
