I think you have answered your own question,in particular your last sentence in it does all the things you require and well.What would you get for it if you sold it with a slipping clutch-around the £800 mark,if lucky,so put that together with the approx £1000 your'e planing to spend on the clutch and shocks and youve got £1800 to get another hopefully better V70,quite a few about at that price and on the face of it could look nicer than yours at present,but problem is there could be a host of issues that rear their ugly head,weeks or months after you purchase and could well be spending another £1800 to sort the issues out,i agree-better the devil you know-it runs great,you've had money spent on it in the right areas,so a clutch done on it and that is one of the big ticket costs out of the way,other bits and pieces can be done on a as and when basis.Also depends on how much time the slipping clutch gives you- maybe enough time to start looking for a genuine well kept V70 for that price but luck would have to be on your side,good luck either way though.
