Volvo 850R 1996 Manual

Unfortunately I’m having to let my Volvo go

I wanted one for many years and now I can say I have. 

I’ve owned for a couple of years and enjoyed every minute 

The car has covered 101,600 I purchased it with just under 99,000 so as you can see I’ve not done much. 
 
Listed below is the listing from when I purchased 

Can’t questions please ask and I’ll try my best to answer soon as possible 

The car has had a full service, new timing belt & water pump in oil cooler pipework replaced in April 2024. New rear delta link bushes, new PCV and pipework in May 2024 both totalling £1300

The previous owners have also made some modifications to the car including D088 reverse intercooler pipework, D088 silicone hoses for intercooler, washer bottle and thermostat, ITG performance panel air filter & stainless cat back exhaust which gives a really nice tone without being annoying, speaker upgrades and Bluetooth connectivity to the original head unit.

Brand new Michelin pilot sport 5 tyres all round and a lot of trim rattles have been reduced. Unfortunately the rear boot lid panel still rattles but I have upgrade kit on the way to fix that as well.

The car also benefits from some brake upgrades including vented disks, upgraded pads & braided brake lines.

This is an older car and has a small number of points for attention in the future If I was keeping the car. Bodywork wise the plastic black trim panels have faded and have some scuff marks on the passenger side section of the rear bumper trim which will need restoring. the car has a dent in the rear boot lid the wheels look good from a distance but on closer inspection, there is a lot of curb marks and chips so would benefit being stripped and powder coated professionally. The car also unfortunately has a mileage discrepancy which the previous owner explained to me it was due to a an MOT tester incorrectly imputing the millage.

Mechanical the car could do with a new set of brake disks and pads on the front. I have a set of pads included. I also have noticed It needs a new off side front drop link and near side ball joint.

It will be sad to see it go as there is so much potential and I don't want to spoil it by using it as a daily driver. I also have a huge box of spare parts to go with the car too and a lot of the original hose work etc to put the car back go standard.

For any further questions please don't hesitate
