S80 D5 Auto, 2004, 177K, £500, Midlands

Starting a new thread for this as I think my original post on the car is getting lost in the depths of the previous for sale listing (here)...

I bought this S80 a couple of years ago, it's given us great service but I haven't really kept up with the maintenance to the same degree as Paffel. Hopefully someone with a bit of time on their hands can do the work to keep it on the road.

Mileage is now up to 177k so fairly light use over the last two years, most of what is written in the original ad still applies, the steering feel is a bit variable, most noticeable when going round a roundabout - but we've found we just got used to it.

Additional bad points:

*Air conditioning no longer blows cold.

*Information display on bottom left of dashboard is intermittent, sometimes garbled, mostly no display at all. Everything else on the dashboard works all the time.

*Bit of a knock from the front when driving over uneven surfaces. Suspect a droplink needs attention again.

*Needs new front tyres, and probably rears soon as well. If I was keeping the car I'd be replacing all 4.

*Fold out cupholder aft of gear lever is broken, should be repairable and I will try to sort it before the sale.

*Slow coolant leak, when I was using the car regularly it was topped up approx monthly with about half a litre.

*Plastic trim has come away from driver's seat belt aperture on the B pillar (shown in photo)

*Car is SORN has been on my drive for about a month now.

MOT due October 2017

Listing elsewhere now, open to offers - I need the space on the driveway!

Edit...in the process of listing on Autotrader, it seems this car is Cat D. I had no idea but as I say open to offers with this in mind.
