Trouble with another car is that it would have to be an XC90, so I could splash out on an 8 or 9 year old one, and it could be a gem or I could just go down the same path all over again.

Plus it's got integrated DVD, integrated phone, towbar etc, so maybe I'm convincing myself to hang on in there!

I would definitely keep it long term.

You have replaced many of the parts that wear out with mileage so in essence have a well sorted car that you KNOW !!!!

Find a cheaper , honest, reliable alternative for your servicing and you have it cracked.
