Well, Ive bought a new motor. :eek:

Here she is.

I'll stick around though as its a lovely forum and I can still offer help and advice to current fabia owners.

John

Thats a world away from your Fabia and your not wrong about needing a pipe and slippers... :P

So which S40 is it? T5? D5?

Lovely motor. Hope its not a diesel :P

Whats happened with the Fabia - surely they didn't take it in p/x :eek:

Its begging for facelift rear lights though, assuming they are a straight swap??

Enjoy the new motor! It's a great looking car.

Please don't say you traded the fabia in

As in "No mate, I wouldn't waste me money on that, FFS buy a Ford. I did and I've never looked back - or sideways, or indicated, or passed 40mph, or driven anywhere except Tesco with me and the Mrs. and the dog in the back. [pauses, re-lights pipe, adjusts slippers, buttons cardigan] Back when I was a yoof, though, ahh, I could tell you some stories...if only I could remember them..."

Lovely car.

Great looking car, nice alloys too

the DMFs go , done 2 recently

i hope it hasn't got DPF , cause that can be expensive in service costs

watch for engine oil leaks

most , if not all the running gear is Ford based

PM me if you've got any questions , here to help if i can

thanks for the offer of the help, I know you know your stuff on these so i might be needing some advice once ive taken delivery etc

cheers Ric your a star

I was toying with one of those too.

The DPF thing is really annoying, not just on Volvo but any block, fiat alfa gm etc...

Hope you like it, a change is as good as a rest, quite like the R designs though.

Q. Why do Volvo's come with a a dog guard fitted as standard?

A. Stops his guide dog licking the drivers ear as he's driving.

What next? A Nissan Micra and 20 mph crawls to Lidls on pension day?

I like 'em, think they look great - good work John

Still getting over the fact that you've PX'ed though!! You forgot to tell me that bit :eek:
