dollywobbler Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 A stretch too far for me for a gamble I'm afraid. £12 is the best part of a full tank of fuel for the Nippa. Looks a great motor though. Are folk just fearful of prising a Volvo from the grip of the Scots perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I can confirm that it drives well, boosts, GLFs, is comfy and the heater is toasty warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfowler2000 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 This all going jolly well I missed this first time round. Put me down for two (and have another bump). Was well impressed with the 6-cyl SVM Volvo Experience at Shitefest and this might make a pleasing change from the Discovery, while being just as useful. Mrs S tells me she's grown very fond of the Disco though, so something else would have to go. Or I'll donate it to someone else if I win. Or something. Edit: I've appended myself down below. (Fnarr fnarr.) This one's the 4 pot turbo Sir Skizz. The 6 pot was the red one last year. I can confirm that it drives well, boosts, GLFs, is comfy and the heater is toasty warm! Not quite - see initial post. I'll address the heater's less than toastiness soon. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe even this evening. It's warm enough when above idle but goes less than scorchio when stopped. I suspect plumbing the heater matrix backwards and a decent drive with MOAR REVS than usual will cure it. I may even do the dishwasher tab flush method as endorsed by Mr 320Touring at TTT Solutions (Dunbartonshire) Ltd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfowler2000 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 The Golf went to the rained out GLF mind. The 760 went the day when we had all of the autoshite there. Since then it seems to have gathered a sludge in the matrix so it needs cleaned out. 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rml2345 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I sold a Volvo estate to the SVM and they tried to mate it with a bus. Perhaps I should have one of theirs to redress the balance? In my defence it was also a Volvo Can confirm credibility of both seller and 760, it's a decent one with lots of potential. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
