Greetings from a newbie

Hi Everyone.

Searching for some help and advice so please bear with me...

I have a Volvo V70R (97/98 model) which has been kept in storage for a couple of years due to illness and am now looking at getting it back on the road. to keep or sell on

Car has done 116k miles and kept in a dry garage. The car is in Redditch and am looking for any sensible recommended garages in the area who may be able to assist me in collecting the vehicle and giving it the TLC it needs. I have fought tooth and nail to hold onto the car and now need to give it the attention it rightly needs.

Naturaly Cam belt springs to mind as well as a full service. I am Very reluctant to put the battery back on and crank it over to see if she starts and would rather have somone in the know take a look over the car incase I cause any damage.

( I can hear my wallet crying already )

Please if anyone can offer any help or advice in this I would be very grateful indeed.

Hi,

Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay here.
Hope you get to enjoy your Volvo once again.

A search of the forums using Redditch (or maybe Chippenham) should give some hits as I remember someone else down that way looking..:
Linky....
Linky....

Or look for an independant near you:
Linky....
