V70R with LPG For sale

[DLM48]

Maybe :-( Persuade me that you should be her next owner and will look after her properly.

Looking for £8,500 or VNO

So sadly I am looking to sell my lovely Black High Speed Hearse

V70R with the three performance modes and a Geartronic box 128,500 miles ATM but will go up slowly probably

Maintained to a very high standard, and she has had lots of work done to her when required to keep her in tip top condition and is/was maintained by a RR and Bentley MV Engineer and Local Volvo Indie when needed

Great Amazing Car with only one issue ATM, the alarm service light comes on (momentarily) This needs a new battery in the Alarm Siren probably (if you know what you are doing) OR a replacement alarm siren unit fitted (maybe fixed in a week or two)

RECENT New Goodyear F1 Tyres (with rim protectors) and all five wheels refurbished New battery New UEM Four keys (two work remotely one of them is R badged, one is just a bare emergency key and the other R badged one needs to be reprogrammed) Auto box flushed and filled with new VOLVO ATF oil New Drivers Door Lock Mechanism.

LPG Prins II system auto changes to LPG once car is warm and with a fairly recent LPG service (does equivalent {cash wise of 44MPG} running on LPG)

DAB add on with remote

Seven seats with the family seat option

Screens in the headrests {I don't know how they work and of course a built-in phone NOT 5G though :-( }

LED Daytime Running Lights in Front Spoiler

Roof Rack Bars

A few spares as well including some (lots of) ATF Fluid for your next gearbox flush and oil change

The funny lines in the third last pic on the N/S/R wing are reflections of the fence wire.

Who fitted the LPG system, particularly the changeover switch and filler?

[DLM48]

No idea sorry it was on the car when I bought it

All I have done is change the plugs to ones supposedly better for LPG V70's and fit a locking filler cap NOT for security purposes but so I cant drive off with the cap on the roof as I did twice before

And have the system serviced by the best Prins guy in Scotland who is about 100 miles away

He modified the Petrol/LPG switch to be the latest auto change over switch.

Sadly the local Prins guy < 10 miles away has a poor reputation and when I went to see him well he was neither friendly or helpful.

[Laird Scooby]

Thanks for that information.

[DLM48]

I could be interested in a swap for a really nice V40 D4 R-Design model in a nice (please not Black) colour

Any of the metallic colours would be preferred but open to considering any nice car.

OKIDOKI

Before I put this on Gumtree or Classic Car Sales or eBay is anyone seriously and genuinely interested in this car......

I was going to put her on the Volvo Owners Scotland Facebook Page but due to COVID they have removed the for sale page :-(

I would prefer her to go to a Volvo enthusiast here so ALL sensible offers will be considered

thanks

Hi,
Nice looking car,

Is this the non runner that you had for sale last year?
If so, what was the issue?

kind regards

YES

The issue was that after spending oodles of money on the car, the brand new N/S/F drive shaft slid out of the gearbox until only about 20mm was in there, and it did this after a high speed run down the Mway. I was giving the car some serious welly away from the traffic lights and the bit that was still in the gearbox could not take the torque so it sheared off where the groove for the circlip sat. So NO Drive.

YES I was deeply upset at the time as I thought the gearbox had exploded and wanted rid of the car quickly.

I did get a free replacement drive shaft after a few weeks :-)
