[Potski]

Now I know there are people out there that don't have much time for the Mongrel D2 - 'not a proper Volvo blah! blah!' but I cant say just how impressed I've been by the reliability & durability of my car. (Fate tempted)

It's a '13 plate purchased at 10 months old with 24k on the clock - it was one of the Volvo supplied Tristar card - so lots of airport duties. It now has £141k on the clock and to date - apart from routine servicing the only additional parts its needed are 1 replacement sidelight bulb, 1 battery and one drop link. and that's it. Never failed to start and feels as strong today as when it was first purchased. And just as an aside - the powershift gear box is behaving beautifully with changes now that are as good if not better than when I bought it. I can't tell you how impressed I am by this poverty spec, unloved model.
