Hi there, you can also get the early P2 V70 with the TDi motor. Usually W, X or Y reg, up to early 2001. I had a W reg P2 TDi with 5 speed manual, great car. These ones are badged as 2.5D so people often confuse them with the later 2.4D which was a detuned D5.

Ours had 225,000 miles on the click when sold 4 years ago and I know it is still on the road now. The air conditioning still worked (possibly more robust than in the 850 shape) although I had some niggles with a pressure sensor behind the headlamp.

The starter motor needed replacing on ours and the TDi has that at the rear under the exhaust so it's no fun to get to but other than that it was bulletproof. Oh and unlike the D5 it will happily drink chip oil.

Best of luck in your search.
