Default What should I spend money on?

XC90 2010 185 D5.

I would love to spend several thousand on it if not more replacing or upgrading anything I can, but what SHOULD I spend my limited hard earned on?

Obviously regular engine and ATF oil changes, tyres, battery, exhaust etc. goes without saying.

I could do with front, rear and top engine mounts but that's as far as I can think...

What would you change or upgrade?


Or should I just wait until something breaks? Surely prevention is better than cure?

If you've not done it already, a remap and EGR delete. Even a safe tune on that engine will take you up to at least 215hp and 330 ft/lb, if you're tempted by a DPF delete they're a big no no!
