V50's are a pile of junk.
What you basically have a is a ford focus estate badged and trimmed as a volvo.
Cheaper to repair and much easier to work on than the s60/v70 platform however

Sadly whatever we buy today we're stuck twixt the devil and the deep blue sea. The worst of it is the awful dealerships who blatantly take your money and run and the car companies couldn't give a toss either. We're doomed, aye we're doomed Mr Mainwearing.

Certainly don't and this applies especially to the volvo company today and its couldn't give a toss dealerships. I thought strange, 15 years ago they were great. Check out the abysmal reviews on trustpilot. if the company doesn't give a damn then the dealers wont either. They'll never see my car for a service or parts again. I contacted 2 in Suffolk...great receptionists, but crap service depts who don't wanna know. Grrrrrr

Anyone recommend a good indie in south lincs, and also a parts supplier? Thnx
