Ditching the expensive Volvo servicing will improve the cost/mile
I don't want to sell this piece of solidified misery to someone else, so it's going to the breakers when I'm done with it.

I'll likely get a fun car on the side.
Yes, I'm a sinner
Nice approach!

TBH, you've had your money's worth out it anyways already..

as for the fun car any ideas?needs to be v8 and petrol

maybe an old 240 GL/Torslanda with an LS1?


As for the DPF situ- glad to see that the gaps between DPF regen are increasing- cant believe oil would have such an impact
