I didn't realize. Maybe I should let you work mine over for me.
You're providing a great service. I trust you clear some £-€-$ for your efforts.

yesterday, I fitted new front end links as I damaged the rubber on the end link as I had to take one side of the suspension apart as when I was fitting my front chassis brace the front control arm moved , the only way to get it back was to remove the shock and drive shaft so there was no load and it went back in, so now my s60 D5 has all the chassis bracing available fitted,
the next thing I need to fit is the control arm poly bushes that I got some years ago, so no rush but I would like to do them this year before it gets very hot,

Aye aye, working to replace the servo seal at the brake pedal... without removing the servo from the car. What a job And I have the automatic transmission so I could work around the seal getting my hands where the clutch pedal is located on cars equipped with manual transmissions - so not even sure this can be done on cars with a clutch pedal.

Anyhow, I got it in there and going to make a DIY video. This is going to be useful for you folks, with the right hand driving cars, because removing the servo from RHD cars is all but an easy job - the engine needs lowered.

No need to adjust the rear view mirror

I think you are courageous to drive that far with so many km on it. Surely a well maintained car

I am thinking of selling the S60 T5. I wanted to keep it forever but moved to Cornwall and I din't get it built for Cornwall. Trying to get around St Ives in it is a nightmare. There are only 2 by passes near me I can get into 6th gear and one has lots of working speed cameras

Unfortunately, I have spent a lot on it. Only put the tyres and refurbished Eudoras on it last week. I will not get all my money back on it but I am hoping it goes to an enthusiast. And I saved her (well, Shem did).

I can then buy something more Cornish like an old V70 AWD. Or a Fiesta Diesel....

Put my Orpheus wheels on eBay with the spare wheel and said I would chuck in a 5th Orpheus wheel I bought but is still in the delivery wrapper as I never opened it

Nobody is interested - I didn't realise I had been driving around on such unpopular rims.

Orpheus look great which is why I snapped mine up when a member on here was selling them.
They were freshly refurbished and shod in nearly new Michelin Cross Climates and cost me £400.

I sold one of my motorbikes on eBay the other week and it was gone within 6 days. It was nothing special but it was an honest bike at a sensible price.
Anything is popular at the right price so have you priced them competitively?

[alanoconnor]

Probably not.
