Volvo S40 1.8 XS Runs well but spares or repair - no MOT
My wife's car, owned for 24 months, MOT recently expired but still drives well.
Started losing PAS fluid in Dec, had it checked & told it needed a replacement PAS rack. Also that it would need new rear discs/pads, front pads & front anti-rollbar links, so we decided to not to have work done but sell when MOT expired. Work required is probably easy for a mechanic (or perhaps to buy for parts or as scrap value). Engine, gearbox & clutch all good; car's still in daily use. Pics from a few months ago; the car's got dirty again after all the recent snow & rain. Has alloy wheels, alarm, remote c/l, air-con, 2x tinted e/w, CD stereo & elec ariel; all working. Had two front tyres fitted in Nov & a new clutch 18 mos ago. Battery in the car's flat as I've put the old one back in as we'd bought a new battery in November & it's going onto our replacement car due April. Price? Not expecting £100's - have had a couple of quotes from salvage websites for up to £147 and so somewhere around that price is ok for us. Would need collecting around Sat 31st March - Mon 2nd April. PM for any questions, test drives, etc.

Just re-read the above, should have written, "Battery in the car when sold will be flat as it's the old one - keeping the one I bought in November as a spare for our replacement car due April."
