Just purchased my first ever Volvo. As a motorcyclist I have always been averse to Volvos as they seem to have invincible persons aboard who dont see anything smaller then themselves.

Well here I am with a V70 XC cross country 2001 model with 155,000kms on the clock. (purchased 3 days ago) in excellent condition.

Is there anything that I may need to look out for in the near future so as to avert any major issues. I already have Y61/GU 2000 model nissan Patrol with a ZD30 engine which I am looking at a 2nd rebuild.

Any pointers would be nice,

TThanks in advance from the snowy mountains region of New South Wales of Australia.

Welcome to the forum.

First of all, I would check to see all recalls have been taken care of:

Then, I would make sure that the timing belt & its related components have been replaced within the last 70,000 miles/5 years.

Enjoy your ride,
