Hi all

My tip/dog/kids car is currently a 2008 RR Vogue 3.6 TDV8. I have had it for 18 months and done 20k miles in it (currently at 148k).
Few niggles but nothing major- all very diy-able such as new air shock, intake pipes and height sensors.

It's a proper car and I love it. But I am conscious of the fact the turbos are prone to go at some point on these!

So my dilemma is I keep looking at Volvo V70 R AWD estates the one with the 300hp engine. I know they can be tricky woth the 4C suspension etc but I've seem some lovely low mileage imports.

My other cars are a 997 C4s amd XKR Jag. The RR is just a bit wallowy and I think the V70R may be an awesome dog/tip car!
