Default Spares or Repair Volvo 850 GLT 2.5 10V Estate Petrol Manual

Volvo 850 GLT 2.5 10V Estate Petrol Manual - White (ish)
registration P326 XJO
Located Surbiton KT5

Time to say goodbye - great car - given my family 25 years of service.

It failed its MOT last week and we don't have the skills to keep it running.

Things that are not good :- (see MOT)

Parking break inoperative on offside.
Anti Lock Break system Lamp on (been coming off an on for years - no ones been able to clear the fault)
Power Steering Malfunctioning
Power Steering Leak (steering rack)
Steering Rack gator Missing

There's probably other stuff our Mechanic knew when our wallet ran out and so stopped checking.

Other Faults :-

Plastic inside as gone brittle and crispy.
Glove compartment locked and stuck (may need to break open to retrieve 90's Nokia charger)
Not the original radio.
Boot door needs propping open (it will try to decapitate the unsuspecting)
Aircon ineffective (smells like a wet dog)
A few rust spots and damage to doors (some load bearing moss)
Alloys are a little porous (great leg work out from constantly inflating tyres)
Back suspension a little saggy.
Sporadic leak in cooling system that comes and goes.
Odometer stopped working around 2014. Been driven on a weekly not daily basis (local trips) and half a dozen times a year to Brussels and Manchester.

Folders full of receipts / services / MOTS etc.

If your interested any offer above £400 considered + being able to pick up ASAP a major consideration.

Any questions just ask !

- Jim
