I'm back in the bangernomics territory again. Had an 05 V50 petrol, electrics are toast in it apparently, have it less than a year
Mechanic up the road has an 08 avensis strata, 1.6 petrol,175km 2 owners for €1500.
Anything of note to look out for on them. Going to look tomorrow.0 -

Not really had an 06 with 300k km up on it earlier this year ran it for 6 months bloody thing was faultless bar being very under powered and the tax will be higher on an 08 i think..
Grand car if your stuck for something reliable to keep you going.0 -

Make sure it's not on the newer tax system as the 1.6 petrol cost €750 to tax per year on the Co2 system.0 -

They are basic enough all right but one the air con works I wouldn't really be complaining about being in one.
Just give it a good going over and you should be fine id nearly guarantee once it's been half taken care previously there should be plenty of life left in it
Learned the hard way with the V50 the more toys the more to go wrong with it. Mechanic uses it himself for call outs so hopefully he would have noticed if something was wrong.
Thanks for the reply

What's the issue with the Volvo?
All was fine until last week FFS. Week before I'd spent €350 on a new wheel bearing & full service. 4 new tyres on it not so long ago too
Got a steering wheel locked notification on dash even though it wasn't locked & could be fully turned, that message won't allow any ignition so non starting.
Mechanic electronically started [ think that's the term] but within 2 mins everything shut down.
Now no signal from key it won't even try to turn over anymore, dash is dead. It's parked up in my driveway window half down which won't go up anymore.0 -
9 times out of 10 thats the CEM under the glovebox
Normally caused by a loose connection if somebody was sitting there with big boots kicking the underside
There are 2 clips holding the tray under the glovebox. They are the "turn half way to open" type, no need to fully unscrew. That drops down the CEM which has a load of connectors on it. The simplest solution is normally open each connector and push the plug in tight and reclose the connector. If that doesn't work, the CEM sometimes needs to be removed and cleaned.
Loads of videos on Youtube showing how to access it, but the errors you describe are very typical of what it causes. This video for instance shows how to remove, but even just unclip the bottom clips that he shows in the video, plug in tight, and close the clip again and see if that helps

Actually I just re-watched that. You don't even need to open the screws to try what I am suggesting
Its so long since I did it, I forgot (had an S40 for almost 3 years!)
Just unclip the bottom few connectors, push them in firmly and clamp the clips again

Thanks for that. Tried that yesterday, took the entire thing out & sprayed all the connections with electrical cleaner, still nothing.
There was a slight clicking noise from the CEM compartment yesterday when I tried to start after cleaning connections, stopped after a few seconds though.
Battery is relatively new in it too, now nothing works, can't turn on the radio or anything
Now I get nothing, key doesn't even lock or unlock the thing anymore.0 -
