Volvo 850 T5 saloon - manual sleeper

[2Crooky]

Hi peoples....

Well after its faultless service to me in France I think the black barge has got to go.....it is an awesome awesome car and I love it but realistically I need something avec pas de turbo to see me through my next few years. There is too much temptation to plant my foot in this and its costing me dear in fuel.

I'm looking at heading back to E36 328i tourings

Ok so here is the spec and a little info:

New oil and filter
Reverse intercooler pipework - to be given with the car, not fitted.

Compression test reveals 12bar on all cylinders - same as brand new spec from volvo.

Negatives:

Stone chips to bonnet - its a slab of a car so it has picked up a lot
ABS warning light - faulty sensor - look it up, very common. £50 fix
CD player stopped reading. Radio and tape deck still work fine.

£1300 is my asking price....








The car is circa 250bhp and still running stock exhaust and cat.....with the addition of decat and 3" system it will see 270-80ish

PM me for any other details I have missed...

Car is in Cranleigh, Surrey or at my work in Petworth and Ockham.
