), here's to the next 140k!

Well done.

Now only another 60K to go to catch up with me

Well, might be 140,000 miles, but she just passed her MOT

Some advisories, but that was expected.
On my way home I saw this.....

I want one

Wow, i prefere the S-and its the only Volvo i would choose over a 480!

I do wonder how they got the idea for the styling of the 480 from the P1800! Not that i dislike it, its just interesting how these models progress!

From this one I believe..

Yes, the ES version of the P1800, i see how that one moves on, what i mean is, the S was different from the Es with the p1800, but all the models of the 480 were the same.

Does everyone have that third-from-the-bottom bar missing on their digital computer things?

Iroll480 · Post by **Iroll480** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 3:49 pm

You mean the bars from the fuel tank? If yes it's supposed to be like that. If only the last two bars remain it means your on reserve, this also lights up the red warning light from range on the display.

Oh right. Glad I know that now. Good thing I trust my petrol gauge. I've had it as low as 10 miles before, and yesterday it was flashing "FUEL" at me with 15 miles to go, before swallowing 58 litres of petrol.

Glad the petrol price wars have made it sliiiiightly more manageable! It would have been >Ã‚Â£70 otherwise.

As the shot shows we are just about to clock 160k......and still running sweet

Still the same FUEL AVG going by the first photo at 140k!!

The V70 saw 188888 miles last weekend on the A1 on the way to Brum - not bad for a 12 year old lol
