V70 d5 buying advice

gordyl2005 · Dec 6th, 2011, 20:18

Hi just joined this forum to get a bit of advice.

HAve been thinking about buying a v70 d5 for a while now. So i went and viewed one today. it was an 03 with 93k on with a good service history. the car drove and looked well.
There was only one fault i could find. when indicating the indication lights on the dash did not work but the exterior indicator did.
can anyone give me any advice if this would be a serious fault.

Also is there any thing else to check when buying these cars

Thanks in advance

My S60 D5 (52 reg) did this.

DIM (instrument cluster) failure - you may be able to get it sorted by BBA Reman otherwise it will be a replacement from Volvo for > £500

Thanks for the reply.
yea just done some searching on the forum here about the DIM faults and sounds like its the fault alright. i had noticed on the car that the trim around the steering wheel was not fitted correctly so someone has already been at it.
Think i will stay clear of this one unless its at the right price.
