Alec_V70T5 Guest Location:	240 Auto, full service/check over Hi, I'm a new member having bought a V70 recently and now I've just picked up a very tidy 1979 244DL Auto with a years MOT for £175. This car has done a genuine 62000 miles with service history but was laid up for three years and has been used for the past year as a loaner in a garage with little or no servicing done during this time. What should I check or replace before using it as a daily runner? I was going to give it a full service, change the timing belt (how difficult is this, any tips?), and water pump (slight leak). How do I service the automatic transmission? Also, should this engine be running on unleaded as the garage has been doing so for the past year? Any advice greatly appreciated. Alec
