Yep 5 cylinder, I've also been sold on auto and.comfort is top notch , mines a pig but only paid £1300 for it spent a bit to keep it going and mate does the work for me she's done 220k , dog bus really I lug all my work gear to site in it. If I don't get a commercial vehicle I'll have another Volvo. Lots of power, comfy and loads of space. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same, if I go for one it'll be a 5 cylinder auto, it'll be a dog and mtb bus for me as well, was looking at getting a crew van but the price on anything decent at the minute is ridiculous and always liked the idea of a big 4 wheel drive estate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,183 Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 I used to like the old Volvos like the 240s 340s 480s etc I dismissed the later diesels as know they can throw a turbo or engine seize , what are the 2.4 petrol like? for reliability ? I currently run a low mileage 07 2.0 petrol Audi A4 so getting used to poor fuel consumption and £300 plus car tax , which is ironic when it throws out no smoke unlike the 2 diesel tourans I had that were £100 cheaper to tax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
