Hi guys, new owner of Silver '99 T 2.5 CD and lovin'' it. Takes me back to my rear wheel drive Volvo days.
After a quick oil change the day after I bought him (T---ARF, so Arfur ;D) I took him for a 1200+ mile trip to and around Cornwall and back which he handled beautifully. Even got 35+ mpg taking it steady back up the M5, just as good as the 1.8 406 he replaces (with a lot more "poke" and MUCH more comfortable)
Just passed it's MOT for the next 12 months (despite its 144K miles) only needing a front brake pipe. Off for it's cambelt change next week as recent service history is a little patchy, previous owner has book stamped to 122K (in 2002??) but then "did it himself" since but no receipts to say what he did and no record of a cambelt - ever(!) Still what do you want for £500 ;D
I'm sure I'll be back here asking questions soon - got the headlights to change (found a couple on Ebay) as they are past their best. They are kind of "yellowed" and almost frosted - is this common? They work OK but look nasty :( Also having fun with the aircon, reckon it needs a re-gas - anyone know anywhere cheap around Leeds??
Cheers,
Craig (lcdman)

What Volvo was it :o :-/
Many and varied! 200, 700 and finally 900 series estates, followed by S70 saloon (2.5T) and two S60's (2.0T and then D5 183)
The Volvo Owners Club (VOC) had a thriving, useful and lively forum until some "issues" arose between rival suppliers in the performance/tuning section which lead to various nasty and libellous posts getting the forum closed by the VOC board. Let's hope it doesn't happen here :o
