CHRIS1980 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Volvo 745 turbo diesel. 3 months MOT. Lots of work done recently,new brake pipes all round including flexies. Recent service,fresh oil and filters. Runs well,makes a nice noise. This has the VW engine and pulls really well. It has a tow bar but the plug cap is missing and the terminals look a bit iffy. Body wise she's solid but the paints flat. Passenger rear arch has a small ding but has not rusted. Interior is ok but the drivers seat has wear but considering it has 201k miles it held up well. I need the space so it has to go. As I remember more I will add more info and when I can sus out why my pics are showing upside down I will add pics. Thanks, Chris. stillOrange, Lacquer Peel and HMC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MB Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I was just thinking how much I need to scratch the Volvo turbo diesel itch, and how little I need another car. These things love a bit of veg, am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Sounds great. Ive got a 765 turbodiesel auto (also in flat white) and often think a manual box would suit it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things love a bit of veg, am I right? They aren't keen on cold-starting on a strong mix of veg, but a weak mix is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Top cars these. And veg friendly I think? No drawbacks with them at all really. Should be in demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Is it a 4+OD box? It should be at that age with a diesel engine, even my 1993 Volvo 944 TD had a 4+OD 'box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Do the od boxes on these only operate in 4th? Didn't some old motors have it on 3rd and top or was that just sporty shite like scimitar etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old friend from school who I hadn't seen in years bought it off me. He got to hear through another friend that I was selling it. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
