Hi all - may be of interest. I've cut and paste the email from Mandy below, plus a link to the ad I put up on the VCV website for her.
Note: I've just advised her that with an unknown issue (sometimes drives fine, sometimes the engine seems to "flare" price should be dropped. She has dropped it to $1000 ONO and she really wants the car to be saved.

Hello Greg:
I have been trying to join the VolvoVic group without success. However, my interest is in disposing of my car which has issues I can’t resolve personally for the following reasons….
1. I have already spent as much as I can afford trying to resolve a problem with what I think you would call engine flaring. Another possible cause could be that the car has a replacement engine that was due for a timing belt replacement when the body reached 250,000 kms.
2. I live in the country and cant get good answers to the problem here so have to dispose of the car.
3. I don’t feel comfortable driving it as it is as the engine hesitates and is therefore unpredictable. When it goes well it goes very well.
Most of the mileage has been on the Hume between Alexandra and Sydney, or local country roads.
4. My husband died 18 months ago so I don’t have another man to give me advice on this issue. I think it is a great car, very comfortable to drive long distances.
5. I would be happy to sell to somebody who can fix the problem or as a good parts car. I have just reduced the price on Gumtree to $3000 but all I seem to get is contact from scammers.
6. Can I join VolvoVic and sell the car?
I hope you can help me!!!!
Many thanks in advance
Mandy
