Cheap C70 Convertible T5 'W' Reg for sale

ncarnall · Dec 7th, 2011, 14:20

Volvo C70 T5 Convertible
Year 2000 on W plate
Black with Blue roof
99k miles
MOT till March
Just SORN'ed

Good looking car but has the following faults
ABS ECU need sorting as dash light is on
SRS light is on
ROPS light is on

I suspect these are all ECU related issues.
The car is listed as a Cat 'C' and from what info I managed to get from previous owner was that the car had had a minor drivers seat fire which damaged the seat, trim and the roof. When I get the car the seat and roof had been replaced and VOSA checks completed. Car was in a state as the roof never worked and wasn't closed properly. I sorted a replacement interior and fixed the roof. The roof still need calibrating with Volvo for it to open full cycle, but it does close full cycle. I have found a work around with opening the roof with a small manual input during cycle to which I can demonstrate. Body work is ok but not brilliant as there are a few small dings and quite a few scratches. Mechanically it's fine although I suspect the turbo actuator needs either adjustment or replacement. Tyres are all legal with 3-5mm tread showing. 17" Alloy wheels need a refurb/replacement.

Just had a new heater matrix fitted at cost of £300, new thermostat, temperature sensor, fuel filter, air filter, battery and crank position sensor

Will make a good project car and comes with spare (Black) roof assembly and actuators.

The car is a good runner and doesn't smoke or lose oil. No nasty emulsion in oil filler. I've been driving it daily for 3 plus years with only the crank sensor and battery catching me out and these have been replaced within last few weeks.

Open to offers or should I break it?

I wish I could afford it plus the tweaks needed.

However, I still haven't done half the 'project' work on my own car that needs doing!

And with 3/4 of a tank of petrol, unless someone can tell me how to get it out easily?

DEADMEAT · Dec 22nd, 2011, 16:24

is it a manual or auto box, any service/cambelt history and what interior did you put back into it ? here's hoping for black leather :-)

Its a manual, no service history and was told by previous owner that Cam belt had been done but no proof of this.

I fitted same as original which was dark grey/black leather interior although the front seats are now quite worn and drivers seat has split where it folds forwards.
