Volvo Owners Club Forum - Volvo V70R AWD 1998 For sale AP Racing Calliper's etc!

Afternoon all!

Well I have had to list for sale my rather unusual and rare V70R, I have just listed it on that auction site.

Anyone interested as I would prefer an enthusiast to take her from me :)

Cheers

Here is the blurb on it:

I have owned her for over 10 years and not really made much use of her so the time has come to let her go. A previous owner spent quite a lot on modifying it with Kalmar Union (the sticker is still on the rear window!) and other tuner for the RICA 280 remap (Done by Chip Tuning). Here is a list of the upgrades:
AP Racing 4 pot calipers and 330mm disc conversion (Done by Kalmar Union) very rare, I believe it’s the CP5200-1005 4 pots set.
RICA 280 Remap
Twin exhaust conversion (Done by Kalmar Union and the car was featured on his site, he has retired recently) very rare, it sounds very deep and not at all “chavvy”, adds even more “Menace” to the car!
Samco Hoses with some Miklor clamps
Pipercross air filter
Genuine Volvo removable lockable towbar with 13pin connector and 7 pin also
Since owning it I have, from memory, done the following:
New Windscreen (last 18 months)
New Radiator (last 18 months)
Volvo Timing belt, Tensioner and aux belt (about 4 years ago), the aux belt does squuek a bit (probably due to lack of use), they are all genuine volvo.
Rear brake discs
Handbrake cable
Engine Mount lower
Engine Mount upper
Cabin (Carbon) air filter (last year)
Oil & filter change (last year)
New breather hoses to the inlet and turbo etc (last year)
AP Caliper service done by AP, I have a new set of long front wheel bolts that are unfitted.
New front pads (2 years ago)
From partsforvolvosonline (last year):
1 x 850, S/V70 up to 98', Ignition Lead (Bougicord) set 20 Valve Engines (PFV902581) = £42.89
1 x S/V/C70 20v to 1998, 10v to 1999 Distributor Cap (PFV902333) = £14.52 (Unfitted)
1 x S70/V70/C70 to 2000 - Rotor Arm (PFV902573) = £14.52 (Unfitted)
1 x S70/V70 97-00 C70 98-05 (Turbo Engines) Genuine Volvo Spark Plugs (8692071) = £48.48
A new fuel filter (unfitted)
4 x1Ltr of Castrol Transmax (I had intended to chaing the gearbox oil but never had the chance)
1 x5ltr Shell Helix HX710w40 (new unopened for next oil change), I change the oil a8 months ago and its done hardly any miles
10 pack of black rear bumper rivet’s (unfitted)
4x Uniroyal Rainsport 5 tyres (2 years ago)

The car really hasn’t been used that much over the years as can be seen from the MOT history, so the above items done haven’t covered much mileage at all.

Things it needs are:
Propshaft centre bearing (about £40 on ebay), as she clunks a bit when changing from drive to reverse.
Underbody corrosion protection, I did some last year, but needs the rest doing.
The paintwork does need attention, especially the bonnet and rear bumper, but I never got around to it, there are scratches and some bubbles on the car
She has an “interesting” numberplate that she will go with R70 FKU!!
I have a lot of paperwork to go with it.
This is now a very rare care with equally rare and expensive modifications, the exhaust note sounds great and she drives well, any questions or additional pictures please let me know, I encourage you to come and look at her. I am selling as a a new addition to the family is due next year and have had to buy something a bit more practical, so selling this to make space ☹
