F.S in UK. Volvo V70/S70 Power steering rack, plus Alternator.

[Joe landy]

Hi all.
Due to the imminent purchase of a new (to me) V70, I have some parts to
sell, which I purchased but were never fitted.
This includes a Power steering rack, which was purchased from someone who
was breaking their car up after major engine failure, much as I will be in
the next few weeks!.
The rack is in very good condition, and includes track-rod ends. I took this
rack to a local re-conditioning agent when I bought it, and he told me
everything was fine, nothing needed attention, and just bolt it on! I have
to top up the power steering rack on my current V70 about once per 3 months,
so I have never got round to fitting it.
Asking price is £100, and I can post it anywhere in the UK at cost £20 max),
or you can collect from me anywhere in the Peterborough area.
I also have an Alternator from a Diesel V70, which has been reconditioned,
with new bearings e.t.c. fitted. Price £40.
Please E-mail me at joelandyman<at>postmaster.co.uk if interested, or
phone/text 07887 694427.
I can E-mail photos of the items if required, or come and inspect them
yourself.
The items will go on Ebay in a couple of days if there is no interest.
Many thanks, and I look forward to my new shape V70 diesel when it arrives!
Cheers.

Hi Tim.
I've found a New shape, Old engine car, 2.5D, same engine as mine, with 60K
on the clock, 4 years old.
Must be one of the first few new shape cars made, which I know is risky, but
I'm having it anyway.
It's an SE, with lots of toys, Except cruise (obviously before they started
putting it on as standard).
I will be looking to fit cruise pretty quick, as it's my most-used function.
I'm still undecided as to whether I try and sell my 1997 V70 TDI with the
oil leak, and 250K miles on the clock, or whether I put it on ebay as parts.
I have kept EVERYTHING in working order, and have tended to whatever
requires attention as soon as necessary. I believe this is the only way to
be, because if you leave things alone when they go wrong, you soon have a
car which requires huge amounts spending on it to get it back up to scratch.
Having said that, I haven't had many problems with it considering the
mileage I've covered, but I fear it will remain the best car I have ever
owned! Can the new model shape up??!
It's a great pity to break my old car up, because it's currently a running
model and in fine shape with long MOT and all the toys, all of which work
100%, but it makes black puddles on my driveway.
It'd be repairable for £600 or so, or you could have another engine lifted
in by one of these large companies who just do engines. I was tempted to do
this myself, but I'm ready for a change.
Anyway, there we go. Make me a sensible offer of around the £1200 mark, or
expect to see a LOT of V70 parts on ebay soon! All interior trim is in very
good shape, as I fitted Leather/heated/electric memory seats a few months
ago.
Cheers for now.
