#volvo #c70 #diy Welcome to the channel, if you saw my last video you will know that I picked up this lovely Volvo C70 for £800 but at that price it’s bound to have a few niggles that need some attention, now I’ve had the car for a while here is everything that’s wrong with it!

If you're going to replace the heater core, you should also replace the heater hose plastic junction fitting on the firewall. These too are plastic and are prone to breaking.

That's a beautiful colour! I have a 2003 C70 convertible T5, owned for about 4 years, its cost me an awful lot getting it back into shape but worth every penny. Biggest issue I had was the steering rack brackets snapping, very common issue on the C70 and literally impossible to find another rack (trust me I searched for months online, at breakers, specialists in Sweden, volvo etc.) So had mine removed, refurbished and put back on. Job cost me about £1500. Sometimes they can be welded in place which would be a lot cheaper however mine was also leaking hence the full refurb. Look forward to your videos!

I want to get an update out on the 745, its waiting for some welding before an MOT but with a recent job change and no access to a ramp it’s been difficult to get it done. Also I fractured my ankle a few weeks ago so I have a big moon boot on at the moment!

Such a great looking classically elegant design, great video. Sorry but I am a C70 geek and the front grill is from the pre-facelift model and the Canisto alloys were not available after 2002, still a truly stunning car!!

Thank you! I wonder how it ended up with those wheels, perhaps is was a stock car that was built in 2002 but not registered until 2003. Always nice to learn more about the C70s, I wish I could get my hands on a brochure from the same year to go with the car.

I’ll bear that in mind, luckily I was able to get a workshop guide on how to adjust them and also how to replace the regulator if I mess it up! 😂

Thanks I brought my one last week of Sept. I think they call it Magic Blue like yours. I have the Comet wheels. They are shot to bits. I'm interested to see how you recondition yours. I'm going to do mine Gold .

This is a facelift C70, right? How many km (or miles)? Most be a lot for just £800, I guess.

Yes it’s the facelift. It only has 70000 miles so should be ok for a long time!

Just sell it in parts, it’s worth at least 4 times what you paid for it (at least on the continent).

I sold it on for the same price I bought it for whilst it was still Summer. Couldn’t justify having the car and not using during Winter.

I own a 1995 850 T5 CD wagon and a 2000 Mk1 C70 2.3 T5 coupe in Saffron orange, Compared to the 850 the C70 interior is pretty crap TBH, Melted looking sticky door switches and wafer thin leather on the seats etc, Definately cheapened down compared to the 850 which has a high quality interior and leather, I sort of blame it on Fords cost cutting which owned Volvo in the late 1990's.
