breaking Volvo 850 T5 estate

[Mr Livered]

So, after a happy few months of hooning around in a very quick big estate car, the gearbox on my T5 has gone.

 

I'm inclined to bridge it in order to concentrate my shite-fixing time and money on the rest of the fleet. Before I do so, does anyone here need bits?

Your signature mentions Renault Trafic Camper.

We all know that Volvo share Renault bits.

 

Renault Trafic T5 Camper?

[Sloth in a bowl]

Offer the engine to CMS206 for his new toy?

 

[Mr Livered]

I should add: I am in Devon, so not really convenient for northern and Scottish Vulva fans I suppose.

 

But for those who are able/can be arsed to come down here, you're welcome to what you need. Just get me a beer; it's not a money-making exercise for me.

 

The engine is apparently pretty good, with err I think 150k ish on it. The two front tyres are brand new (grrr).

 

If anyone wants the whole car, it does still run and drive, albeit rather noisily and has MoT until February. Shall we say 50% of bridge value?

[Mr Livered]

I was in private message communication with a shiter, and it was looking like this Vulva could avoid bean can conversion. But then I stupidly took it out, in the belief that the gearbox had a bit of life left in it, and it promptly grenaded in town.

 

The only sensible option seems to be getting the scrap man to pick it up from where it is. So it's bean tins after all, as someone said to me

Constructive use of a T5 engine, turning a boring 744 into a sleeper.

Ace!

That looks just like the 740 in that drift-fail vid someone posted here - it was trying to drift downhill on a woodland road, and ran straight into the crash barrier. I hope it's not the same car.
