Well I had a go at mini detailing/clay baring the 22yo old girl. Surprisingly she scrubs up well, I bought some ultimate compound with these full intention of finishing off with a hand polish then ceramic sealing….. but I’d had enough so the polishing was missed out. I have a level of patience but detailing isn’t for me🤗

Stop it your tempting me!
It's the one Volvo I haven't had!
How do you find the fuel economy if it's a d5?

A darned sight better than the more modern D5s which are encumbered with emissions gubbins, that's how!

Commuting low 40’s, on a motorway run if at 60/65mph then high 40’s-low 50’s(calculated). Be aware the trip comp lies like a Tory. It’s a dream on towing too!
I’d love a 940 auto with half leather but the mpg isn’t for me.

We hade a Euro 3 XC bitd until the death of its front transfer box said it was time for it to go on the grounds of uneconomic repair. Notably more economical than our current Euro 5.
