I have an S80 D5 2005 that has 147,000+ miles on it , great car, but its cost me a few quid in the 8 odd months I have had it, new front wishbones,front and rear droplinks,front balljoints,new front struts(truely horrendious as I have 4C suspension), new disks and pads all round, still got a few annoying rattles when I go over speed bumps, but the engine and manual gearbox are terrific, on a run the computer says mid fifties,all in all a decent enough car, Just out of curiosisty, does anyone know of a good local volvo mechanic that might help me diagnose the annoying rattles, I stay in Ayr about 30 miles south of Glasgow

2003 V40 1.9D SE 115, just coming up to 123,000.

Clutch was done an 108,000 for a noisy thrust bearing.
Alternator went in the Pyrenee's this year, and had to be replaced. Luckily both were under warrenty.
Other than that, no problems at all. Really nice car to drive.

My sister in law had a 440 with over 250K on the clock. She had to get rid because there were too many pick ups at MOT (all small things), so she gave it to her dad.
