Why have one high mileage diesel when you can have two?
Picked up a 2004 V40 1.9D today locally, to match the 2002 S40 1.9D that I've now had for 18 months and love. Higher mileage than my saloon at 203,000 but the engine sounds brand new. Couple of minor bits to sort out cosmetically and the brakes are also fluctuating but still pulls up nice and straight.

You have an undamaged egg crate grille, that's worth its weight in gold haha.
I can't work out if the discoloration is on the inside or the outside of that indicator, but I might have one if you need, i know I do have one, but I'm unsure which side it is, saw it in the shed the other day.

Its inside, it's done the usual thing of the lens coming away from the rest of the unit so that is indeed on the list to do. Turns out the brake discs are warped at right angles judging by the sound and involuntary violent foot and hand massage when braking from a higher speed

Picked up new discs and pads today incidentally from GSF, trying Bendix ones which is a brand I haven't used before.
