i just dropped a 175k 2001 S60 2.4T motor into my 2001 XC70. while looking online i was suprised to see that many S60's for sale in Aus have done around half the milage of the XC70. For thr tune, i got a BSR tune, im happy with it.

I'd say the XC's were probably bought to ferry the kids all around with their stuff, whereas S60's might have been older people with less driving involved. Nice video, pulls well and great to see a manual XC!

Very nice! Beautiful car and greyhound! :)

Thanks Greg! I do love my Greyhound 'Walter'. He only just fits in the back ?

Our greyhound came via GAP as well. :)

That's excellent!

Neighbours had a rescue greyhound, amazingly friendly dog use to come over and play with our dog.

They're great dogs! Love em.

Welcome to the XC70 club. Have you had the transmission flushed? a complete Volvo service history does not include it. Google XC70 transmission problems to see why. Cheers Bob

Thanks! Good to be in it. I have indeed, the fluid was changed about 7000km ago.

We’ve got a beautiful spoiled whippet girl Penny - she’s 11 (we rescued her about 6 years ago). Greyhound wouldn’t fit too well in the back of my 1800ES. :) I think we need to start an OzVolvo Pets thread!

Adorable! In her natural habitat there. If it's a tight fit in an XC, it'll be super snug in an 1800ES haha. Yeah could be a good idea :)
