Talking Gauging Interest : Volvo C70 T5 GT Manual

Gauging interest at the moment, just might fancy a change..

Its in very good mechanical condition. I looked at quite a few before buying this particular one, Ill list later on, but the car hasnt wanted for anything, its had regular oil and fluid changes, all niggles bar a couple have been sorted. It runs like a dream.

Currently at 128K =]

What I can remember!!

6 Months Tax from September. And 8-9 Months MOT.

Volvo Parts/service List:

February-March 2010:

Fuel filter Changed
Oil Filter and oil changed
Coolant flush and refill.
Aircon recharge
Front Lambda sensor
HKS SSQV Valve
Air filter element changed.
ABS Unit replaced

May 2010:
HID kit 6K fitted.
Later debadged grill fitted.
Complete PCV kit replaced including PCV valve flush.
Horns relocated to nearside arch.

Genuine larger Volvo 302mm Front discs, September 2010,
Genuine Volvo Police spec front pads, Sept 2010
Mintex Rear Pads July 2010
Braided Goodridge brake hoses all round, September.
New Heater matrix replaced due to minor leak beforehand. September.
2nd key and fob cut and coded by volvo at 200.
Gearbox oil drained and changed.
Every last bit of brake fluid replaced with fresh brake fluid.
Power Steering fluid all changed for brand new fluids.
Coolant all flushed through and replaced with new fluid.
Both bulkhead engine mounts replaced. Can supply a polybush top mount if you want, I removed it though, didnt like/want it.
Samco Boost hoses.
2.5" S/S Exhaust system, quiet but sounds lovely.
18" Nebula Volvo split BBS Rims. Good tyres all round.
Lowered 25mm all round.
Alpine IVA - W200RI – Lovely headunit.

Its worth mentioning now, its the GT C70, it has all the toys. Dolby Surround Dynaudio sound system, Trip computer, heated seats, cruise control etc etc etc..
The engine runs like a dream, its a joy to drive. It drives with no knocks and is very quiet inside. The power and torque is nothing but awesome, itll pull forwards in anygear, be in the right gear and it does go rather well..
Its currently been setup with a Dawes at 14psi. It was setup properly on a bench with pressure equipment and accurate gauges, not fitted and turned up till with crossed fingers..
The actuator was also re-setup to VADIS requirements which helped everything run a lot nicer.
I can restore the turbo controller to standard if needed.

Black projector headlights fitted with white sidelights. Ended up costing 300+

Ive probably forgotten a lot, but whenever its needed something, its got it, regardless of cost.

Things that need doing:
Drivers door doesnt unlock with fob, just needs the key and twisting to get in! To fix it needs a new lug for the door lock, hasnt bothered me enough to fix.
Bodywork has marks on corners, polishes up lovely but its not perfect!

The numberplate is also not included in the sale.
On to the pics..!


Ran outside after work and took a few pictures, apologies its not been cleaned for them!








Sorry want something RWD
