Yes, infact i thought it was less than that. I just phrased it badly... I bought 5 litres as it was £11.

There must be a fair amount of brake fluid at yours, I'm sure I keep leaving bottles of it there :p

Haha that's ok then, sorry my bad, could just see you patiently putting the whole lot through. Just in case you were to throw away a load of perfectly good brake fluid, you understand, i'm a terrible skin flint lol.

I flushed my estate through with ATE blue and only used 500ml or so, I'd think you've bought enough
Looks awesome, I need to play catch up with getting mine back on the road!

Yeah you can refill a completely drained sytem with under 1L.

Still got this . Had a service not long ago along with a new starter motor.
It still needs a few bits but its now in its winter home.

Thanks gents.
Yeah hoping to get it out next year, this summer just sort of disappeared!
Also has a scorpion back box fitted now too.
XC90 is huge on the drive, bigger one needed or a unit I think.

Much bigger than the V50 in terms of the space it takes? I'm not so much fussed on the 'Wow it looks huge' part (As it obviously does look massive) but in terms of the space it takes on the drive, is it much bigger than the V50?
They are both contenders for me as a next car at the moment but I don't have the biggest drive in the world.
Cheers

That's actually not a hell of a lot bigger really, I did Google it after I'd mentioned it.
Interestingly a V50 is only 2mm longer than my E90 saloon & a V70 I think was 254mm longer than the E90.
I'd be interested in the V50 but I have a feeling you'll want more than £4000 for it
I also want a 2.4 auto if I can find one

Don't go for D5 unless you plan on mapping it. D3/D4 or 2.0d is what id go for.
Hoping to get £6500 for it

Shame to see you selling it but fair enough as you don't have anywhere to store it. Be interesting to see what it goes for.
