Nice. How much did you pay?

£3500, which is quite cheap for a r design se manual. The last one I was interested in went for £4800 with slightly less mileage.

This one has full service history with the last service being done in Jan 2021 at a volvo/saab specialist, with a complete health check carried out using Vida and showing no faults.

It came in a fair bit below my budget so I have got money sat aside for improvements.

Sounds like a good deal. Have fun with it.

I'd given Tim a big list to do in a day (service, cambelt, block mod, pollen filter, brake fluid and fit two new rear springs) and we spoke about various things but as the list was quite long there was only so much time to discuss everything!

He's active on the Facebook volvotuning.net group so you could ask an oil question there or message him directly on Facebook messenger which is his preferred mode of comms...

Yes, it has a few little marks here and there but I will get around to sorting those out as soon as I can.

It drove well and everything appears to be working as it should.

Thanks for this, I have used Fuchs oil in my last car and was impressed.

Nice looking T5, enjoy it.

For oil I would use 5w40. These cars need their regular oil changes met, if not sooner.

I usually change every 3k miles or so.
