Re: Volvo diesel ?
Off to look at a V40 d4 tomorrow 16 reg. Looks tidy enough. There's 5 or 6 not too far away so gonna have a week looking, hopefully he'll have one next weekend..
Seems to be lots more D2 than 3 and 4s.

Re: Volvo diesel ?
Well the D4 was OK just, but a bit of damage to rear plastics kind of spoilt it and it was in Stoke, the capital of all shitholes bar none.
On to a D2 which was much tidier. Will do a Campbelt and service for 200 on top. The inside was like new and had a spare wheel. Best so far, but lad got set on D4s, but there isn't any within my distance. 40 miles ish rad. Told him i can look a 4 D2s tomorrow and that's it, your on your own if you don't like any.
Decision will be made tomorrow.

Re: Volvo diesel ?
Price up a remap, iirc the turbo is different between the D2 and D4, but there's plenty of overhead, a remap should get a D2 to D4 levels of power.Dodgy69 wrote: Mon Feb 23, 2026 5:33 pm Well the D4 was OK just, but a bit of damage to rear plastics kind of spoilt it and it was in Stoke, the capital of all shitholes bar none.

Re: Volvo diesel ?
Forgot to mention, on my journey yesterday from the delightful town of Stoke to Walsall, I came across Brownhills. 
Jeez,. what a place. Union and St George flags everywhere. Never seen nothing like it. Brownhills worth a Google.
