New owner of a C70 Convertible to the fold

[Rocklandgirl]

Hi All
Just introducing myself on the Volvo forum.... have been on here a while (Mercedes) & also on HSV as hubby owns a Monaro.....
Hubby bought me C70 & received last Saturday & I am in LOVE......



Just waiting for the nicer weather now to go topless

Welcome to the club!
I would recommend that you get yourself a wind deflector before the nice weather.

It came with one so dont need that bit . However, after driving it a couple of times on good old Norfolk roads, i think a front strut brace is a must, anybody know where i can pick one up from at a reasonable price?

contact rufe on one of the bigger volvo forums (t5d5, vpcuk ect) genuine ones are quite resabally price well for the 850's there about £70

That's gorgeous!

How are you finding it and did you fit the strut brace?

RT Mechanics ( ilovevolvo ) I'm sure he could post you one!

I had a drive of a cabby C70 but must admit, I was put off by the skuttle shake so bought my coupe!

Thanks guys, i got a strut brace 2 weeks back, wound up getting a genuine Volvo job which cost £80 and was here the next day... All fitted and it drastically reduced the skuttle shake by a lot so 80 quid worth spending The missus loves the car and has given me strict orders not to get too attached to it, unless im thinking about washing it for her...
