Which model
Hi, looking at moving from a xc70 to a 90. looking for a 2005 onwards. We also have a P2 V70 as well so am aware of alot of the problems eg gearbox, swirl valves etc. But what to look out for with a 90.
So my question is which 90 should i looking for? petrol (yes i know fule heavy but we also have a Range Rover!) or diesel. Must be auto (for the wife) Thanks |

Do not buy diesel if you a doing a lot of short (say <5 mile) drives.
Diesels are great for long distance when the engine is nice and warm But cold engine short runs cause a lot of soot will all consequential carbon deposit and choked up DPF and EGR issues....

Looked at four, petrol and diesel, three over priced, so found a Range Rover on the way home...!

As an ex multiple Range Rooney owner I reckon you'll be lucky to make it home!
