Hi Morgan,

The car looks lovely. I saw it on eBay and was glad to see it's owned by a Volvo enthusiast.

The only thing that puts me off is that Driver's information pack problem. I've read that it could cost several hundred pounds to replace (unless you are skilled enough to do it yourself, which I'm not). If you can convince me otherwise, I'd be very interested in buying it off you!

Regards,

Andrew

You can pick a good second hand DIM up for about £50. It's a matter of swapping them over - bit of dash removal - nothing too major. It may well set you back a couple of hundred in labour & parts if you get a garage to do it for you. I would have done it myself but my hands are full with several other projects & I haven't had the chance....I may well throw in a replacement DIM if the bids start to climb a bit

Cheers, morgan

Hi Morgan,

This has ruined my day! Looked on here at the beginning of the week and as there was nothing I fancied for sale have sent my old girl off to an indipendent for cambelt, new rear springs, a few other bits and service - it's probably going to cost more than your lovely car.

Would love to have had that instead. Please tell me that it had been smoked in and stank (like my first car, even after 6 years of open windows and smelly dogs), anything to make me feel better. Never mind, would soon have got the first points on my licence if I'd had it.

Hope you get a good price and it goes to someone who will appreciate it.

Chris.

Sorry to have spoiled your day fella!

The car is fresh as a daisy too!

The auction doesn't end until for a few days yet & I've decided to get the dim repaired so it's coming out tomorrow & going off to the nice fella on here who repairs them with a 2yr warranty. So the car should be in fine fettle for the new owner, whomever it may be.

Cheers for the interest though, all the best,,Morgan

Due to a complete timewaster who never paid or even showed up to see the car I've had to relist this on ebay.

Since the last time I've got the DIM issue sorted [turned out to be a faulty abs module] & done some other minor bits & bobs so the cars in better fettle that it was a month ago.

10% off the final auction/buy it now figure to forum members as its such a nice example that I'd like it to go to an enthusiast.

All the best, morgan
