Good Indy near Leicester?

[volvoski]

My wife's xc70 is a 2010 model and has done Stirling service. It has reached 150,000 miles now and I thought it was due for a fluids change. Engine oil,filter,auto gearbox fluid change/ flush, rear differential fluid and brake fluid. Our local garage does the usual basic oil/ filter but I want to be sure this is done right by a place which knows it's Volvos. Any reccomendations please?
I recall being told about a chap who worked from home out of Coalville way? He sounded ideal but I never got a number for him.
Thanks, John.

Nope, the Aero ran on 225/45s and the alloys were not wife-proof. I called it a day after she had destroyed a third alloy and tyre on the cart-tracks they call roads hereabouts. Not particularly observant, my wife.

XC70's on 215/65s and she simply drives down the face of the pothole and back up the other side now. Happiness is restored

I think my wife's tyres are 225 or 235 but it lives on dual carriageway and motorway. 20,000 miles ish a year. Good tool the xc70. Don't miss the low 20s to the gallon on the aero estate either!

Ours was LPG'd so was actually quite economical when compared to the XC70 - as it happens I measured yesterday and she was doing a mighty 29.5 mpg.

Also not an economical driver...

When we replaced the aero we got a land rover discovery 3 HSE 2.7 litre intercooler diesel. Remarkably at 2.5 tonnes the land rover was doing 5 mpg more than the aero and was doing the trips it was used for equally fast- 90/95 is all you can realistically do on motorways these days....
