Overview:

This is my 2nd S60. I'm a massive fan of the P2 platform for it's combination of comfort, excellent build quality, the 5 cylinder sound and the boosty turbo performance.

The then owner had purchased the car from his father who had bought the car as an approved used car from Volvo. It has 60 something thousand miles them and now sits on 131200 ish.

I used the car as my daily driver and a fun rolling project for many years until I moved house to within a mile of work. Since then it's had much less use so I've decided to let it go.

Also there isn't really anthing left to do on it so the project part has come to an end.

It's extremely clean with none of the small dings and dents that seem to plaugue these cars especially down the sides. Apart from the expected small stone chips the exterior is in really great shape.

I upgraded the wheels to the S60R 17" pegasus wheels are they are 7" wide (rather than the 6.5" wide standard wheels) look really great. I didn't go for the 18" versions as the ride is pretty firm on these cars anyway and I didn't want it to be any worse.

The wheels feature reasonably fresh Michelin Pilot sport 4 tyres.

The brakes have been upgraded to the larger XC90 disks and front calipers to accomodate the upgrade in power this car has.

The headlights are the optional HID units and are nice and clear.

I spent a long time finding the S60R interior as the leather and carpets are of a much higher quality than you find in this model as standard which makes it a really nice place to be.

The interior is in really great shape with no rips or tears in the leather and the metallic Nordkap blue is really nice and by far the best of the 3 colours these interiors came in.

I've also replaced the instrument cluster with the S60 cluster as it's really attractive with the blue dials and front illumination. The mileage of the cluster was changed to reflect the mileage of the car at the time it was replaced.

The car has been upgraded with help from Shem Green at Shemtek and is approx 350hp. The map is quite progressive so the car drives really smoothly with a linear power delivery.

I've always looked after the car and worked on and serviced the car myself. Only the highest quality products have been used.

I've always changed the oil every 6000 miles since I've owned it and used redline fully synthetic oil.

The car is supplied with a massive history file. recent replacement items include:

Driveshaft ouput shaft seals replaced
Air conditioning compressor and condensor replaced
Timing belt and water pump replaced
PCV oil seperator replaced
Turbo replaced
Shock absorbers replaced
Clutch replaced
Crankshaft rear main seal replaced

I've kept up with servicing and maintenance of this car!

Being a 19 year old car there are some bad points and current faults though including.

The sunroof doesn't work
The in dash CD changer doesn't work
The car occasionally shows an 'anti skid system maintnence' message. It can be months between the message showing and seems to dissapear when the car is restarted.
One of the wheels has a very small kerb mark around 10mm long on the rim. The paint has been chipped but the metal hasn't been affected.
