My 2000 V40 1.8
Only had it a couple of months
When I bought it was completely standard on steelies with trims and a knackered cloth interior - £600 with tax and long MOT
Wheels were £80 off ebay
Complete T4 Heated leather interior was another £80
T4 Sports leather steering wheel £20
Wood dash centre trim £15
I've changed the oil, all the filters and plugs
Only significant expense has been replacement of the VVT pulley which was rattling its nuts off and fitted a new genuine cambelt & tensioner kit - not cheap
but I really like the car and the cambelt was the worst I've ever seen - the specialist I took it to reckoned it was the original belt - the car has just clocked 100k !

I've got a Garage entry and Readers' Cars thread going for my first Volvo, a spec-tastic V60 D5 SE Lux. I'm more pleased with it than almost all of my old performance cars:
I've just worked out that your photos are in Abbots Leigh. I live in Portishead and work in Pill.
The photo of the cop car with 'EDL' numberplate - made me laugh! (See page 1)
Herewith the teabag;
Currently nudging 143k. Bought blind from Autotrader ad - car was 354 miles away! Offered £500 off asking price offer open 5 hours only...accepted. Made payment and flew up to Edinburgh following week to collect, then drive home to Kent.
Had all the bits I wanted - family pack, 7 seater, winter pack, xenons, and fvsh.
