About 3 weeks ago I had a visit from my good friend from Essex, he loves a good ratch around the scrapyards, so on the Saturday we popped across the hills to Cumbria to visit one of my favourite haunts. I spotted this in the “keepers” section, agreed a price & bought it  |

It’s an ocean race ltd edition with the 2.4 D5 engine & AW 55-50/51 auto box or geartronic as Volvo call it. It drove home fine, albeit in limp mode at 20 mph on the steep parts of the Hartside Pass. I have since gone right through it & sorted many of it’s little issues. It’s main issue however is the transmission service warning on the dash. I read out & cleared all the fault codes, including the one transmission related fault. I am reliably? informed that a fluid change & reset of the fluid condition monitor should fix it. I have yet to do this, though the fault cleared & stayed away for a hundred miles or so, before returning. I have bought the correct fluid & will carry out a “flush” on it soon. Everything else has been really quite minor & with a set of fresh tyres it gained an honest MOT. I’m hoping it will be a capable & dependable thing to use over the winter............time will tell
