    I have a 1994 (L) 850SE Automatic Estate. It has done 232K miles, had the
    engine replaced at 175K ( my own fault). The gearbox is a bit lumpy when
    changing up from 2nd to 3rd. It has a twin Electric towbar and is in the
    usual green that most Lreg 850 estates seem to be.

    Features are:-
    Leather
    Cruise control,
    AirCon (works well, but pump does rattle)
    Manual Moonroof
    Electric nearside mirror, manual off side (never did work that out)
    Electric front windows
    winter / sports / economy mode

    Runs very well, I use it for business, as an engineer, and it drives the
    whole country, hence the mileage. It looks reasonably smart, but I would
    never try to claim it as A1.

    Time has come to look for a newer car, as I cant afford for it to let me
    down, and at this age and mileage, I am worried that I might be starting to
    push my luck.

    It has been serviced at a Volvo specialist, rather than a dealer, as anyone
    who lives in the North Kent/Surrey area will know that unfortunately the
    dealers are not very good around here, and out to make a fast pound or two
    from all the Volvos owners who only use it for the school runs, and will
    gladly pay for someone to top up their "Halogen headlamp fluid" and change
    the "Lower lesser used sprogget" just in case.

    It would suit someone who wants a functional second car to move the dogs and
    kids in etc, and allow it to retire with a bit of grace.

    I would ideally like around £1200 for it as this would include the flash
    Sony CD autochanger system, but am open to reasonable offers which would not
    include this.

    Hope this will appeal to someone, as I would like it to go to someone who
    will appreciate her.

    Thanks for reading

    In an earlier contribution to this discussion,
    Might be a good idea to post this in uk.rec.caravanning - since it is
    obviously equipped for towing. Someone there may well be looking for a
    towcar. Which engine does it have?

    Good idea, thanks..

    Isn't it amazing, I thought, of all the things people forget when doing a
    car advert, like which country, mileage etc, then forgot one of the most
    obvious...... its the 2.0L 10 valve version.

    Sorry about that

    On an L plate? Are you sure? At that age, if it were a 2 litre it would have
    to be the 20valver, if its a 10valver, then it has to be a 2.5. No other NA
    engine options were available in 94 AFAIK

    Whats the engine code on the white sticker on the cambelt cover?
