Bought this in January 2024 as a bit of a stop gap after moving my Panda 100HP on.

2006 Volvo C70 120k, 2.4i petrol, 5 cylinder, convertible

Sounds lovely, returns 25mpg (a 6th gear would help)

Its far from perfect , some bodywork scratches , needs a rear parking sensor and track rod ends, but the roof works perfectly.

Been working through a list of TODO job ahead of MOT time at the end of April.

Service time!



First job, air filter , looks well used!


New vs old


Next job, spark plugs



Took the opportunity to tape up the wiring to the coil packs as the plastic has started becoming brittle


New plugs back in, torqued to spec

Oil and oil filter next




That bring us to present day, MOT is due soon, i have a little movement in the NSF track rod end so going to replace inner/outer track rods on both sides. It also looks to need a CV boot on the NSF too as there is some grease in the area.
