I was seriously thinking of selling my Volvo

However, it does need a new exhaust and is running rich at the moment. It also needs either a new gear box mount, under £10 or the wheels aligned properly.

It does have some little niggles but still runs pretty damn good.

I have spent a lot of money on it and would want that back.

It should normally do about 25 to the gallon.

The only thing is it has no street cred, but it does weigh 1950Kgs and is a great towing vehicle.

Id take a sensible offer considering Ive spent close to £300 just getting it on the road (£99 tax included) :)

there seems to be alot of nice mk1 MR2 for around that price, i love them.

didnt like the coupe idea?

Or you could get a newer Volvo, something like a 850 2.0L 20V, not as heavy, FWD but good towing machine Id think :)

was put off them when i was cut up heavily by one a year or so ago, and the ones iv seen up close have been full of rust.

edit: the mk1 MR2s do nothing for me, the mk2s are lovely (IMO)

the diesel engine in the frontera must be one of the worst bags of cobbled together sh*te in existence

not sure which one is in it but the 2.5 omega diesels use BMW engines

anyway i hate fronteras so the point is moot

I like that 2.8 Isuzu TBH. Not the most refined engine ever, but the Trooper i was driving at work for a while had 320k on the clock, and it was still going strong with no major engine parts replaced.

What sort of economy do those old patrols get? the white style the UN used for their "peace keeping" forces.

why they used that thing at all is beyond me. The 2.8 and 2.5 arent too shabby, the 2.3 is just terrible.  The later model 2.2 isnt too bad, but it lacks any kind of poke.  They just feel flat.
