It would be a shame for this to go to scrap - but if nobody else is interested she probably has a number of things that I might need or could usefully put into stock.

Has she by ANY chance got the limited slip diff? That's what I REALLY want - and assuming she has the 3.73 diff (she should have) it might make sense for me to have the whole back axle.

The Air Flow Meter is another very useful item. As is the motronic ECU. And she should have (it looks like a volvo towbar) the auxiliary atf cooler as well.

When you did the rear suspension, did you re-install nivomats (and was it with new ones) or did you put in conventional shocks and stiffer springs?

Has she fully working remote central locking?

And how bad is the interior?

Have you done the head gasket? They normally go at around 100k to 130k miles. If not are you sure it is OK? What about the headlining? At this age they are normally totally knackered.


I would cost getting her nice again as about: -

Turbo - £300
Headlining - £300
Aircon - guess £300 (condenser, collector, gas and R134 conversion)
Leatherwork - £100
Wingmirror (second hand) - £20
Non-Volvo head unit - £100
Sunroof motor (secondhand) - £20
Rubbing strake (driver's door) - £30

Then maybe tyres and a refurb on the wheels.
