Just bought a V40 sportlux diesel, 139000 on the clock and pulls brilliantly.

Hi all, purchased an s60 d5 2002 a week ago with 132,000 on the clock and one owner from new. Drives beautifully and pulls like a train- cant wait to get her remapped! Dont mean to hijack the thread but have any other d5 owners noticed they sound remarkably like a t5 and rev in a very undesiely manor?? I like!

I have a 53 Volvo s80 D5 which I owned for more than a year. Everything is great in this car just add fuel change oil and go......I keep servicing it regularly and has been very reliable.
So far it has done 197000 miles. Only issue is (the limp mode ) twice now

I've got a V-reg (2000) V40 Diesel (Renault Laguna/Megane Engine)
Bought in 2002 at 79k, now at 169k, mostly motorway.
Work done on it so far over the 9 years I've had it:

- EGR pipe
- Cam + Aux belt
- PAS pump
- All pulleys
- Gear linkage bushes

The alternator bearing is gone now so need to a rebuild. And need to think about ALL gaskets as there's a small but steady oil leak
Apart from that, nothing else mechanically wrong. Strong as a tank. Worked out 40 - 41mpg!

I saw my old 1996 P V40 1.9TD sitting at the dealers last year with 190,000 on the clock. I traded it in at 6 years old with about 60,000, and 8 years later they were trying to sell it for only £1500 less than they gave me!
