Yes, I've been there and done that

But there are two different types of dpf fitted to these cars

One costs nothing to maintain, the other costs a bundle

Both enjoy digit 5

Oh right!

Will give local Volvo main stealers a call tomorrow.
Hope i still got the VIN somewhere.

Can't believe how expensive they are to buy with lowish miles.

Will keep you all posted. Might pick her up Saturday if i can knock it down just a tad more.

IF they have been well maintained and well treated they are worth the money if you want them for the long term

I bought diesel with powershift gearbox and have never regretted it.

Clan may be able to help if you ask very nicely but you will need the full VIN number

Just phoned Volvo, they checked with the reg.

No DPF! That's great news. Guy won't even budge £100 to cover travel costs. Will wait to see if he does so won't be buying it this week i guess!
