Sorry I haven't been on for a while, started a new business, still working as well! The worst of it is that my beloved Volvo is going to have to go. It just scraped through its MOT but needs a bit of work if it is to pass next year - rusted rear jack points and rust on the rear leaf suspension bit. I am so sad!!

Hi Guys,
Sorry I haven't been on for a while, started a new business, still working as well! The worst of it is that my beloved Volvo is going to have to go. It just scraped through its MOT but needs a bit of work if it is to pass next year - rusted rear jack points and rust on the rear leaf suspension bit. I am so sad!!
Just haven't got the room, time or cash to do it. If anybody wants it let me know, I want it to go to somebody who appreciates it. Free to a VERY nice home!

Well, I understand. It really is breaking my heart to part with my car after 7 years, but the rear jack points actually move when wiggled and I've been told not to use them! Also that rear leaf rust is worrying me. Can it be fixed? Is it silly to even think of it?

it might be worth taking it to an mot place and asking them to quote for next year. my leave springs are always a bit rusty and they're fine - rear jacking points *might* be ok too, or might just need welding a touch.
