Looking to Buy a 159 JTD

possibly the estate as i prefer the lines and it suits us more . Aware of a few issues. but looking to do looking journeys mainly .
Are the AC systems good ? and what is the factory "bluetooth" thing like ?

its a swap over from a v70 d5

would remove EGR and clean it all out then blank it off. Hate the things !

tracking etc is a issue i am aware of. I plan on getting a car pre purchased checked out by Jamie at Alfa workshops as its only £70 and will "put me in the picture"

just wondering how it will compare to a V70 for a 400 mile night drive in the rain "feel"
My volvo is well serviced but hitting 180k and its 12 years old. Hope the 159 does not feel that "cheap" build wise ?

would be thinking of getting it re mapped by "ANGEL" if the clutch etc has been done recently !

cheers
