Need advise again - D5 engine and autobox - prospective purc

[Adrian888]

I am about to buy a V60D6 and have similar concerns about the lack of scheduled servicing for the slush box. I will be towing with mine so will probably adopt similar serving schedule to that VW use for their wet clutch DSG - every 40k miles. Just need to find an indy Volvo specialist around Huddersfield that can do it!

A manual box on the one I’ve just (nearly) bought would have made my day. Just got to learn not to slam the brakes on when I want to change gear!

In order to take a look at the rear trailing arm bushes (advisory on last MOT) I removed the two plastic covers on the floorpan just in front of the rear wheels - there was the start of some surface corrosion here under the covers - nothing serious but worth a check. I just cleaned it off & rust-proofed it.
