V70 D5 estate

There's some photos of mine to give you an idea what way the spoiler should sit.
The boot is plastic and the spoiler is bolted on from the inside.
Here's a thread on the fitting.
Finally got round to fitting tailgate spoiler V70 P2
Just a wee update of a trip over to the West Coast at the start of September. Alloys and windows tinted (also cracked an alloy on this trip). Have a replacement alloy here to get painted up the same as what's on it.
Next on the list after that is a paint correction to get her sitting nice.

Seeing this in the new posts section makes me miss mine ... it had about 170k on it when it went to the big junkyard in the sky and would have went a lot further had the previous owner given it a bit more TLC. Unfortunately everything that needed done built up and it became uneconomic to sort it all by then lol

Well this car comes with almost all previous mot certs and a print out of work/mileage etc as far as I've been told the timing, clutch etc been done.. can't remember what the paperwork said at this moment but it's been looked after to a certain extent but like most cars it does have a few small issues (generally wear n tear) as stated which I am addressing them all so should be perfect for what it is

If its anything like ours it will take a lot of abuse! lol
Over the years ours was filled to the neck with petrol (more than once IIRC), put through a hedge on a greasy corner, towed well over its limit in cars & horses and at times sat untouched for months as a second motor still firing up on request every time.

Rear wiper motor was messing about, motor was seized which is common fault.
I stripped it down, steeped it in cleaner and came back to sparking clean motor but still didn't want to perform properly so I lost patience with it and said to myself I'm used to having no rear wiper so off it came.
Rubber plug put in with some sealant, 10mm bolt with sealant around the threads of the bolt and screwed into the water feed hose.
Job done and looks tidier

Where you always into volvos or did you just buy one and then became a volvo'er
Dad went up to buy a 320d from a dealer.... ended up coming home with an S40 instead and I loved it.
Was hooked after that, really liked it so I bought a T5 one.... then the second one was a pristine S80 3.2 that I couldn’t resist lol
My next one won’t be cripplingly bad on fuel though......he said.

If the range is like an S60 D5, you're looking at about 7-800 miles per tank mixed driving. Theres guys on the volvo forums getting 900 or more but they obviously drive handier than me.
