Hey u guys, I bought a Volvo S40 T4 with 143 000km on the clock yesterday and I must say Im very happy with it but geez she gave me a scare today, I took off that huge nylon cover and suprise suprise, the tappet cover was flooded with lotsa oil, one guy (Volvo fanatic) told me that it can be an exhuast valve leaking and allow pressure to the top part of the engine, luckily it was the problem. |

a great car as wel, we've driven it btwn JHB and Eastern Cape in 3 consecutive years, twice in each, put it in Sport, footdown in Bloem, that car moves quickly, also nt had a major prob except for low battery since like i said its nt driven that often. Spends most days in the garage. Once in a while he takes it out.

Modern Volvos r quite boring but reliable. They ok 4 older ppl except mayb th 850R n the newer AWD R but i want a 123GT which is extremely rare. I been lookin 4 one 4 10yrs now. Its the only Volvo i wud buy.

I was thinkin bout the S60-R evolve wen i said th AWD. Its got a nice body kit n graphics but stil its a 4door. Th coupe is also nice lookin but they wil never b BMW. The 123GT is a classic n it doesnt need tons of cosmetics 2 make it look good like th new R.

The C70 is a very beautifull car indeed. Some things of BMW's are better that the Volvo's but other things on the Volvo are far more better than BMW. Like the leather seats for instance etc.. I had a beemer before I got this T4 and Im very Impressed with it, I love that exhuast note when the Turbo starts to kick in at 2500rpm.

Id be going for a standard-trim '80s 240 saloon,lowered right down to the floor on little deep-dish wheels (like Weller 14x8/9s),with a 3.0 24v straight six in there,and a pair of big turbos. Proper car,that'd be.
