V70 Classic Breaking for Spares; 2000MY, 2.4 Petrol Manual

[Paddler Ed]

Unfortunately I'm breaking my 2000 MY V70 Classic; 225,000miles, FVSH up to current service due. Owned for the last 5 yrs, but not used since March 2010. It's beyond economic repair, as it needs recommissioning, new clutch and 4 tyres (so well over the value of the car)

Price (exc Delivery)

• Centre Cap £5ea
• Owners Manual and sleeve £5
• Indicator Repeaters £5ea
• Spare wheel well cover £10
• Grill £15
• Jack and wheel Brace £15
• Load Liner (soft rubberised one side £15
• Mats £25
• Original rear Shocks, still working £30
• Wheels £30ea
• Roof Rails £45
• Spoiler £50
• Load Cover £50
• Genuine Volvo Radiator for car with AC £75
• Rear Lights per side £100

Wheels are 15" Antila, 1 is a bit porous, and suffers from slow leaks, but otherwise all are good. Would benefit from refurbishment if looking at using; all have some degree of corrosion on them

Centre caps are being sold separately if sold first, otherwise wheels will be supplied with caps.



Indicator repeaters

Radiator Grill



Spoiler has some scratches from roof rack straps and ropes (used to use roof racks a lot for kayaks and canoes)



Load Cover still retracts etc, not the cleanest, but would clean up

Jack and wheel brace can be supplied with the polystyrene block that sits on the space saver.

Rear Shocks were taken off at 175,000 but I don't know if they are the original ones or not. Were replaced with Monroe Load Levellers, which may be available; Monroe's were repaired under warranty in 2008 after 15,000 miles, but have been trouble free since.

Rear Lights:
Passenger side



Drivers side



Radiator fitted at end of 2009, as old one was leaking. Supplied by FRF. Done about 3,000 miles with it (not sure exactly what the mileage was when it was fitted so taken a guess based on it being fitted (just) before Christmas 2009, and stopped being used in March '10)


Other parts and pictures available on request; had to dodge the rain showers!

Car (+ parts) are in Shropshire, south of Shrewsbury.

PM or post below,

Thanks

What colour is the interior?

Is it code 3960 by any chance?

Yes it is, just been out and double checked.

What are you after?

Parents are going to be down in Battle in the first week of September if that helps with getting bits to you.

I'll need to double check as I have made notes as and when I have noticed little bits and pieces and it looks like I never got round to keeping a decent note in my 'V70 document'!

Small bits I can think of are:

• The inside tailgate handle surround, providing none of the tabs/clips etc are broken (I'll check and get you a pic of what I mean)

• OSF Seatbelt aperture shroud/surround (pic below) but only if the belt hasn't 'cut' through the bottom (this is what had happened to mine and it was fraying the edge of the belt)

This bit I wouldn't have bothered with because of the distance, but may become feasible via your parents?




What are those roof bars? You keeping or selling them?

...Oh...cup holder centre console, dog guard and rear child seat? These are all nice to haves and really are cost dependant.

TBH, I was looking at putting a 'shopping list' together and doing the 20 miles to the nearest decent breaker to me in the next few days so don't put yourself out for me as I may just do that in the hope of knocking a lot out in one go. I'll have another check tomorrow and see what other bits and pieces I may need. Maybe give you a call perhaps? Will PM of course if we go that route.

D-Pillar Trim: As long as your speaker grill is intact in the D pillar, mine's broken (certainly on one side). The D-pillar trim is not perfect, there's a small nick in it where the parcel shelf trim locates, but not as bad as yours! Typically the other side is perfect...

B-Pillar Seat Belt guide: Only has the slot at the top to allow removal. No rough edge where the seat belt runs lower down, has worn but is smooth.

Tailgate trim: A bit trickier; the large panel isn't in the best condition... in fact it's screwed into the tailgate as the clips broke (after the cabling to unlock the tailgate snapped and I had to unlock if from inside!), but the little plastic pull handle is fine. Just been out to check on it, and I think I know what you meant when I saw it!

Don't have a dog guard, cup holder arm-rest or 7-seat kit, and I've got a leather interior for the child seat.

Prices? All 3 plastic trim pieces, £15 and the child seat TBC; depends on whether it needs the whole seat back or if it can come out separately.

I'll get some pictures tomorrow.

Roof rack is not for sale, keeping hold of it for whatever I get next. It's Thule 755 feet and some 127cm cross bars, so nothing special! Cross bars are a bit bent and bashed as well after being used for 10 years carrying kayaks, canoes and mountain bikes!

Thanks Ed

That reminds me. Speaker grill on the 'D' on that side is cracked as well. I really don't like them though, so have my eyes open for an idea to mod them.

This is the tailgate handle and it is the tabs behind the marked area that are broken off on mine.


I forgot to look at my child seat, but from memory it looks as if somebody has tried to eat it!!

I am a fussy bugger Ed and if I am going to replace bits tbh replacements are going to have to be pretty much almost perfect. With that in mind I'm going to try to make time to get to the breakers and see what I can pick up there first and if still any parts outstanding come back and see if you still are able to help.

Sorry to mess you about like this. If I miss out and your bits go then that's my fault for fannying about in the first place!

Is there any interest in any parts or anyone want the whole car?

I'm in need of:
a - the cash
b - the space
c - something 4x4 for the winter/biking and boating
so it'll be going to the scrap yard at the end of the month.

If people are interested in parts that I listed above then please let me know and make an offer; those are the parts that I feel have the most value/best condition, with the exception of the wheels, but they may do for someone to have as winter wheels for a car.

I'm reluctant to render the car immobile as I need to get it about 30m from it's resting place to the road to get rid of it, and this will be easier under it's own power, hence declining to strip some of the engine parts. Still happy to remove the radiator however, as it'll still move even without a radiator, and wheels I can work around... nothing's impossible!

Looking for a blanking cap. It's in the roof,just above the rear seats. Think it's here a dog guard would fit. Mine is missing the o/s one.

It's curved and about 2in square.
