EDIT: Sold
_________________________________________
Finally time to sell my Volvo!
Volvo 850 2.5 TDi auto
Owned by me for 4.5 years, documented several times in Retro Cars Magazine as a staff project.
Rare factory black
Very solid shell, zero rust underneath.
MOT late December (Not a COVID extension date)
144k miles recorded, (but in reality higher as the odometer failed early in my ownership, estimate 180k roughly).
Upgrades:
Modified ECU and remapped by Martin R Smith - 200bhp/400NM
EGR and cat delete.
Twin outlet turbo back full custom stainless exhaust
V70R brakes, recent Mintex pads, EBC grooved discs, braided hoses, DOT5.1 fluid.
Pro Sport Coilovers
Ronal Aero 18x8 alloys & Falken tyres
Towbar with working electrics
Legal rear limo tinted glass
Double DIN MP4 video, MP3, AUX, remote control etc headunit
Wireless mobile charger
Vibe audio component speakers
Rear Euro plate holder and small front plate
(Comes on the P153 BPD plate, ICZ plate has been removed)
V90 front splitter
XC70 rear bumper with factory diffuser and twin exhaust outlets.
4x Team Heko tinted wind deflectors
USDM indicators with amber running lights
Recent new headlights with custom extra sidelights
Eggcrate grille with OEM Volvo 'slash' modified to fit
Not yet fitted:
Polish tuning box for switchable rolling coal!
Many items replaced in my 4+ years of ownership:
Engine and autobox both replaced in the past 2 years.
Radiator
Heater matrix
Recent timing belt, fuel pump belt, aux belt and all pulleys
Aircon clutch (system all good but still to be regassed)
Heater fan resistor
Pollen filter
Glow plugs
Fuel temperature sender
All fluids and filters regularly renewed
Alternator
Heavy duty battery
Power steering pump
Front wishbones
Factory spec:
Cruise control
Aircon
Electric memory leather seats
Remote central locking with 2 fobs and 2 keys
4x electric windows
Fuel computer
Front fogs
Dual zone climate
Tilt and slide electric sunroof
Bad points:
Rusty spot on rear O/S door lower area
Roof lacquer deteriorating
Tailgate interior trim seen better days, but is securely fastened
It’s cool but but’s not mint! Sure it would benefit from some detailing/bodywork TLC to look its best.
Awesome car that I have happily driven all over the UK and Europe several times whilst shooting for car mags, and will happily do so again if it doesn't sell!
£2995
I'm based in Motherwell, south of Glasgow
