New 2 me V70

[MCFastybloke]

After a while in an E39 i am back in a volvo, 2008 v70 d5 auto, a superb low mile seviced every 3/4k miles in lovely blue. A bit lacking in spec but fine for its primary purpose, 400/600 miles a week up and down the various motorways.
I have a few questions

Can i get a full size spare alloy in the well? 245/50/17 i think
What will it tow braked?
Cambelt interval? last owner says the bloke he bought it from has assured him it was done. I will try and verify from the dealer stamps in the book

This car has the same style wheels as i need, what is the name of this style? anybody want to sell one?https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-Volv...0AAOSwaP5cklaj

Thanks for now

There’s a set of those wheels on eBay. Didn’t sell at £150, just been re-listed.

Much to like in these P3 V70's, on monday night, 1 week into ownership 700 miles covered and finding a lot to like. Sure its not quite the latest in info tainment and refinement but still a solid and comfortable mile muncher.

Got a full size spare im going to fit into the wheel well with a cut out in the storage tray, photos to follow

Interested to see a photo of the finished job with the cut out in the luggage platform. Looking forward to seeing those pictures.

I see those wheels on eBay have gone - did you nab them?

Finally got a tyre on the spare rim and5 minutes to plan and look at the job

A 17 in canicula with a tyre on will go in the well IF you make a new plywood floor at the existing one has all sorts of shapes on the back, tomorrow i will get a sheet of 18mm and some carpet to make a new floor. As i am in the building job, own a router i envisage 2 hours tops for this part. Then i will look at the storage tray

If you remove the underfloor storage tray completely and change the boot floor to one without the pop up divider then I believe a full size wheel will fit.
