I assume that is not sarcasm... What do I need to swap out? Not so hot on the OBD2 messages!

It is an SE LUX, saville grey and has dark carpet, dash, wheel and light seats. Looks fantastic.

£4500.

From what I could see the swirl arm was on, but that wasn't a particularly detailed check.

What am I looking at cost wise?

Is there any significance to these not being 'Pending'. Swirl arm had come off and was reconnected yesterday.

Biggest concern is now the steering. I didn't notice anything today, but I suspect the PAS fluid is original. Which may have damaged other stuff.

I think I know what I'll be doing with the turkey baster come boxing day....

ATF flush as well.

Can't wait

My swirl arm came off. (ooh ! Mrs ! - uh, sorry )

Refitted - off again after a few days.
Replaced arm with a new one - off again after a few days.

Following the info on this forum, I drilled through and fitted a very thin nut & bolt as a retainer
Also needed some very light Dremel grinding to stop bold head binding.

Has proved to be a permanent fix (so far....).

You may be Ok, but as the arm has just been refitted, just an alert that it may need the "fix".

From photo, looks good value at that price.... good luck

Not bought yet but I am only kidding myself when I say "I'm thinking about it". I already have a parts and jobs list in my head! Have VIN, have VIDA....

Only downer is the £485 tax and finding someone who wants an XC70.
