1994 Volvo 850 t5 review from UK and Ireland

"A wolf in sheep's clothing... boy racers beware"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Dump valve rod came off

drivers door lock is totally disengaged

ABS pedal switch worn

Drivers seat worn

a couple of rattles and squeaks.

General comments?

What a car.

These go like stink

standard is about 225-230 bhp

although put them on a rolling road with all that accessories this drops to an actual value of 200+- bhp.

I recently bought this car had it checked by Volvo who sait it was in tip top condition. Purchase price £2600 at 101000 miles.

What a bargain Full leather, air con, and a whole lot of motoring fun. Its fantastic mid range power has been boosted by the addition of a super chip (and increase of 25% torque and about 30 bhp.) drivers of brand new £30,000 BMW 330ci's be warned you will not out accelerate this baby even at 100 mph. 0-60 in about 6 seconds 70-110 in about 4-5 seconds. anyone out there know of a specialist to modify the turbo etc would appreciate the info (d.shelton@btinternet.com)

I would highly recommend one of these babys... the boy racers don't know whats hit them and owners of more refined luxury cars (we will mention no names) are green with envy at the performance.
