Sadly my 2004 XC70 looks like it’s got to go. It would appear it’s got a head gasket issue and I just can’t warrant spending the money on it. Of course, this is most annoying having spent £850.00 in December on service, mot, cambelt and brakes. Plus the £400.00 of Michelins I put on it last month.

Reason for posting is I was wondering if there are specialist Volvo breakers (I’m north Essex) where I might be able to sell it who might give me a reasonable price. I’m not one for just trading in cars, or selling it so some poor sod ends up with the problem. It’s a D5 lux model, so lots of goodies worth taking off it.

I’ve had it 12 years and wanted it to last another three and the plan was to move to an XC 60. Sadly finances at the minute means something cheaper until then, but I’ll defintely be going back to a Volvo, this one was the best car I’ve ever owned.

Thanks for reading.
