Honestly, rather than a strip down and a race, I'd rather see how cheaply this car could be restored using OEM, eBay and scrap yard parts.
of course you would, but the videos wouldn't get the same views and the cost and time to produce them would be massive.
I will also add: to be done at home by alex himself + help
Yep, totally agree. Fix it up for cheap. Those headlights don’t need replacing for starters. Numerous videos on CZcams about how to refurb them. The rack could come off a breaker and I’m sure those anti roll bar bushes can be bought 3rd party, maybe a polly bush kit exists. Also, get Ethan to fit it all. Now that would be amazing content. Come on Ethan, your a pro now.
I would love to see the "restore on the cheap" on this. I recon, under 500 quid all in
@Noncebeater rc's 850T5 Touring car?
Give the cameraman a raise for all the various lenses and angles utilized to make Alex look like a normal sized human being!
Savage
All that perspective work to make him look normal should be rewarded
@@genericcarchannel Strong concur, sir.
Is that an odd trick of perspective or is he only 16” tall ??
All the girls call him tiny, everything in proportion I hear.
This entire video is just:
"That'll be cheap to fix, yeah?"
"Yeah, nah. Not at all."
Not too bad...
"They really never come out right"
As a detailer this is very false.
You can save those headlights 100% and they come out very good. Ive done worse
As someone who is not an experienced detailer at all I would make those headlights 90% better. I restored the headlights on mums car one day and forgot to tell her. She asked what I did to her headlights because she kept thinking she had full beam on. £20 would sort them headlights easily.
@@gravemind6536 Wet and dry and a can of lacquer and they'll be as good as new for many years.
I'm still hurt about what Alex did to the radio, but i guess the point was to annoy us and it worked! 😂
Frankly I loved it! I hate outdated integrated electronics! That video made me feel all warm an fuzzy!
mindless destruction.
@@browney89 I get it if it's something even a bit exotic, but it's a freaking Volvo! They're more than a dime a dozen! No harm no foul imo. NOW! If it was a mint V70 R then I'd be pissed! BUT it's a lemon D5 destined for the scrap!!
@@browney89 OK boomer
It was a feeble attempt to be outrageous/funny in the vein of Top Gear but it backfired on the little guy when we felt pity for the old girl. Shame! Shame! Shame!
This is a great lesson on avoiding dealer/specialist pricing
Where should you go instead?
@@cowboyhank456 for a shit box, you do it yourself with ebay or scrap yard parts.

And another thing to add, I replaced a v70 steering rack about a year ago and a shaft tec rack was only £280
@@georgegeorge163 Not an OEM rack I assume.
Randomly I used to work at this garage , unlike other places I’ve worked this garage actually does things properly and I can’t recommend them enough . And Tom if you see this well done glad to see your doing alright 👍🏻.
The Volvo guy sounds a bit like Jack, even the laugh is similar.
How do you know he's not just Jack in a mask?
Edit: Have you noticed that the Volvo Technician and Jack can never be seen in the same shot? ;)
They both have the same voice actor
@@Sup3rSn1per they must do. It's a bonus that Jack's voice actor throws in witty remarks, very glad they brought him on CT
@alana mcarroll Tom and his dad (who used to run the garage) are ex Volvo technicians, they know their stuff. They only use genuine Volvo parts as aftermarket parts are shit quality.
@alana mcarroll I mean you said it yourself, a bit of "realism". We are living in the Internet age where videos like this are made just to get the views. Obviously no one would spend that sort of money on an old snotter, ergo it's effectively click bait. I only watched it as I thought i recognised the mechanic in the thumbnail 😄

Every time someone says “not too bad” take a shot
Half way through, already pissed. Lmao.

Description: Not too bad

I'd have found this a lot more interesting if the price breakdown also included just what was necessary to get it a fresh 12-month ticket. That would truly indicate if it was REALLY a bargain or not.
100% - The $1000 stereo and replace the headlights (vs just refinishing them) is more theatre than useful.
@@chrish6373 Exactly. My car is getting towards 20-years old now and I know for a fact if I took it to a garage and asked for 'back to perfection' repairs I'd be looking at at least 3-4K. This isn't exactly interesting nor surprising. - I think I'd just find these videos far more fun if they concentrated on buying cheap and seeing how much a new MOT sets them back because, in my eyes, this video makes that Volvo look like a nail, but if it can pass an MOT for less than £300-£400, it's way more satisfying. I mean, let's face it, 90% of people who buy 'cheap cars' are only interested/terrified in what the next MOT will bring.
Faded headlights will fail mot
Yep most definitely. Every older car is gona end up this way after 200.000+ ...
@@nohandlefound. Only if they excessively impede the light. They didn't even try the lights.
Out of curiosity to see how over inflated the prices of that garage were had a look on Ebay a set of headlights in excellent shape £72 anti roll bar brushes £23 droplinks £12 radio £39.95 so yeah 6k right......
No thats what brand new OEM parts + labour cost. After market or Used parts are obviously gonna cheaper
Which you would use on an old beater like this but you still only cut that total bill in half.
@@Shithappenswhenu You could fix the whole car for about 10% of the quoted using used or aftermarket parts
@@TheAnglan for 600 pounds? four new tires is 400 pounds so i doubt it.
@@Shithappenswhenu Tires weren't quoted in the price of 6000 either
And you do not even need new headlights. Just refurbish them home, costs maybe 20 euro
Ethan: knows that a D5 is a Diesel 5 Cylinder
Everyone: 😮
Well, D4 is also 5cylinder
There’s also a D2 whats that ?
@@Nightvibezzz A 1.5 cylinder
@@user-yl2wm2gy3z that cant be real
@@Nightvibezzz Thought you're being sarcastic so...
All Volvo engines from the P2 era are 5cyl.
those headlights would polish up easily, of course you have to know what you're doing, but id never replace those headlamps, when you could do it for cheap yourself.
Do it myself on my rover using pink stuff, Autosol, brasso then wax over. By hand aswell. aye I gotta do it every 6 month but still cheaper than new headlights!.
Or use the magical lamp, it's awesome.
@@gixxernavigator why not put 2k clear coat on them rather than wax would last at least 2-3 years
You could buy yourself a polisher, some quality compound, polish, sanding pads, clear coat, wax etc for less than one headlamp.
i have this exact same car with way more mileage and my headlights were so fogged up you couldn't even see the bulbs and such on the inside, sanded them down starting with 800 grit and going down all the way to 1500 grit and the put some 2k clear coat on them and they look almost new. took a bit of time and effort but saved me a load of money.
That first shot with Tom and Alex looks like forced perspective from Lord of the Rings.
My precious Volvo
Public: "Why is fixing a volvo so expensive!?"
Volvo: "Our cars dont break often. How else are we meant to make money off parts?"
See also, our parts are expensive because they're made to not break
@@gpglicious which is absolute BS when it comes to stuff like the steering rack, swirl flaps and a few other parts that are just designed poorly and brake over and over again :)
Good news is that they finally realized that the pricing us absurd and now give a lifetime warranty on the repair.
@Do One Meh, depends on the model / year / engine / extras.
Overall the reliability is higher than average, but several specific parts brake all the time and Volvo can't seem to figure it out (for example the swirl flaps had two revisions ant they were still sh*t, so Volvo dropped them altogether). There are a lot of broken ones on the road because the cars are dirt cheap, the parts are absurdly expensive and the owners just can't be bothered.
@@user-yl2wm2gy3z No, volvo reliability is not great, distinctly average in everything.
@@pottheed1990 Having been around volvos for a long time and owning one for 3 years now I'm inclined to disagree.
steering rack leak is fixable by just a 5€ seal no need to replace the whole unit. You can replace the parts inside the rack as well when you have it off the car.
To me, that cost means nothing, you’re not going to buy new headlights, you’re either going to try and buff them out properly or buy second hand from eBay, or live with them, if they’re road legal.
In fact, I’m sure you could shop around and buy most of the parts second hand, or just fix it enough to pass a MOT and make it road legal.
This is not banganomics to take a car of that age and get prices for new, genuine replacement parts. 🤷♂️
It´s not supposed to be bangernomics in this episode...The point was really just to do a health check on it, and as a bonus show how a certified workshop could drain your wallet. Now i would start scavenging the scrap heaps if it was my car...
Spray WD40 on the headlight lenses moments before the MOT, it's a good temporary polish to get it through the beam pattern check. How do I know? My own friendly MOT man did it himself.
"Nothing's cheap on a Volvo" as someone with an 18 year old S60 I agree.
Couldn't agree more.
It does not matter, if you went to a certified dealer for repairs using OE parts, it would be as expensive everywhere. You just have to be smart, that's all... The first thing - the fact that they don't sell bushes for anti roll bar is a ripoff, and that is just the start. Virtually everything is a ripoff in that list, but those bushes scream the most. A whole anti roll bar for 275 if your 10$ bushes go bad? Who does that? That guys are not mechanics, they are just parts exchangers...
@@thrustvectoring8120 thing is Volvos don't like cheap parts they tend to complain alot when it happens. I think jon can agree with me. OEM only for these cars.
@@nitro_rc_dude8158 yeah but on an old car like this you can get a lot from the breakers, I got an alternator for £20 & a full set of wheel rims with serviceable tyres for £100...
The £600 for a new drive shaft and grand for a new clutch stung a bit though.
I reckon you would get that through its Mot for less than £400.
The 240/740/940s would like to have a word with you. For serious though, these old school volvo's are so much cheaper to maintain than the newer ones from the 2000s.
I love these evaluation shows, make me smile all the way through. Some crazy price for headlights though. But mega miles.
This "uneconomical to repair" is such bullshit. Buy aftermarket parts for suspension, engine, seals, sensors, buy used parts like the intercooler, steering rack, headlights, radio and do it yourself! Then you'll have a 5 pot diesel in decent condition for about 1500-2000 quid.
I agree you could get second hand mirrors headlights etc
if you have plenty of free time and personal skill and instruments (not cheap by themselves) and a garage space where you can do it (a lot of people don't have that luxury), then sure go ahead and do it yourself. I think many people take these things for granted because they have their dad's garage with all the necessary tools in the countryside or something where they can mess around with this stuff, but not everyone has that in their lives unfortunately.
@@crabyman3555 I live in a one bedroom house with no garage, just a parking space behind the building. My first car in the uk was a £200 corsa b, did 37k miles in less than two years. My current car is £500 bmw e46, I've done 32k miles since I bought it. You can guess how well maintained both were for that kind of money. Oh, and I learnt IT in college.

So nice and so expensive to maintain
Not this one 😂

@@lukemallory7832 Youre dead right there, it's worse than Top Gear, and that's saying something.
Good thing I haven't bought a Volvo then... even though I love most of them. I've bought a Mitsubishi instead, that looks like an old Volvo wagon from the back :)
I’ve used this garage for 23 years….. for my 1997 Volvo 940… best garage ever and my Volvo runs like new.
Thank you GB autos!
Ok but those headlights can be made SIGNIFICANTLY better with a $20 headlamp kit, new ones aren’t usually needed.
I paid a pro. guy to come out and do mine as I was getting nowhere with one of those headlamp restoration kits.
He did 3 headlamps (one on one of my other cars, the one the other side had been renewed already) for £99.
The car looks fantastic now.
Plus you can get new lenses for about $60 each.
I spent a quid on some rubbing compound.. It worked just fine
Agree the 3m kit is pretty good designed to use with a drill.
Takes about 3/4hr to do both sides.
Once they're done a 2K clearcoat should make them like factory

Nice setup, always the best place to start independent specialist garages.
GB autos best specialist in south London. Exceptional work and the lads there are top notch. Can’t fault them
Can we see a full restoration? Getting ethan to do the work?
That would be an awesome series
I'd rather see it broken for spares, to see if you can do it by yourself with common tools and/or if you can make money in a month.
Alex i think this is a challenge for all of you to fix it under 1k, easily done :)
Tom seemed like a great guy, very cool episode! Good job Alex and the crew
I had to laugh when Tom said "I hope so" when Alex told him that was toothpaste under the bonnet lol!!!
Please do not push this car to death. Its a lovely looking car. Make the necessary repairs only. Some wet standing for the headlights may work. Get a aftermarket radio. Fox the wipers. Replace the rubber bushings and tires. Find and fix the leaks. And some basic servicing like thorough cleaning, fluids change, brake pads etc. (Ethan can do that).
We would love to see this car getting some more life.
I just bought a week ago now a Volvo XC90 v8 awd and I love it.
This is the perfect opportunity to show how much can be saved by doing the work yourself and finding bargain parts.
if you have plenty of free time and personal skill and instruments (not cheap by themselves) and a garage space where you can do it (a lot of people don't have that luxury), then sure go ahead.

@@crabyman3555 I lived in the UK growing up so no, your opinion doesn’t ring true. I’ve fixed many cars on driveways, in one car garages to sitting at the side of the road hoping someone doesn’t sideswipe the car I’m besides or underneath and crush me.
But I’ve done it and I never had the luxury of CZcams to teach me how to do things.
Now yes, you are right that some don’t have the personal skills but that’s why they’re called skills, learn them.
The car has been neglected. Like any car Volvos need servicing. Breaks, suspension, tyres, break shoes, break pads, wind screen washer pumps, little bits of plastic , like seat belt guides , that break, the audio system , hu850, common fault, gives up, .the older car will require more fixing but cheaper than buying new.
Would be good to see you hunt around for cheaper parts to see how much under the £6k you can manage...
"How badly these shops we work with and the MoT fuck us over" Yeah idk how well that'd go over
You slightly ruined the punchline as I saw the cost in your comments before I got to it in the video
Oh how we all love a Friday upload!
Wouldn't cost as much if the Volvo specialist wasn't ripping the arse out of it, take it to a local indy and the price is a fraction of that.
On the p2 volvos you should always expect to replace the spring seats lol 😂. They are the biggest weak point on the suspension. But a pair from rein or Sachs is only 40$ for the beefier xc90 version in the states so it’s not that bad if you do your own work.

@@westsenkovec yea.. especially cheap plug n play android head unit from ebay were plenty to choose from
Seeing those prices makes me happy I can still fix my own car! Plus, ebay parts for the win!
You can repair the rear anti roll bar with new bushes, it's not the easiest job but entirely possible.
On my 2002 D5 the intercooler is the same part number as a petrol engined model and available used for about£40.The anti-skid message on my car was caused by cracked front abs rings and fixed cheaply.
This car could be sorted for a fraction of the quote in the video.
Neat to see the vintage steel!
Alex says at 2:38 "I was trying to make my money back" and then 2 blummin ads pop up...... Didn't expect you were trying to make it back from ad revenue lol

£873 for headlights daylight robbery

I think we all got to the point where we want to see a quality CT restoration video. There’s always talks about it, and many of us has done it. I’d really like to see you guys doing it, browse used car parts webshops, go to the local scrappy and admire your work at the end!
He knows too much he’s too dangerous now 😂😂
Those prices are why we have so many internet mechanics, cant imagine any one will be checking out gb autos any time soon 🤣
Apart from the radio (what a carve up!) we have carried much the same jobs on our two 1999 P80 models, and at a fraction of these bloated prices. Granted, a lot of the parts were used 'pulls' but the rack was about £50, in excellent working condition, headlights we replaced with Volvo 'Crystal Lights' so came in at a whopping £180 a pair, and most other parts were after market motor factor parts, but on cars of this age, they only get like this through neglect. If jobs are done as they become necessary, it need never that much to keep and older car of any make in good order. It's only when the jobs are allowed to snowball that you come across big fat repair bills.
I like how you sped up him making the parts list/quote, because big list like that take forever
It would be a great episode to do an Ebay/breakers yard challenge to scavenge parts and see how cheap you can get this roadworthy
£873 for headlamps....
Nope.
Normal price for one of those non-xenon lights is 60 pounds , brand new, original made by hella is aprox 150
Absolute rip off! If you're willing to put in the elbow grease you can make them near enough new. I've made far worse headlights look decent on several old VWs.
@@filipstefan9384 yea that’s not the price for a Volvo replacement though is it! Aftermarket from China maybe
I've put a couple in my P1 V70. Ok,they're from China and don't have the adjusting motors but they work fine,£180 the pair and I didn't like paying that! Got a nice pair of genuine Volvo 'jewel' lights but you can bet as soon as I fit them a bloody stone'll go through 'em!
@@unknown_user283 not from china but still decent quality one, and original quality Hella, ( original volvo part is hella or mag. Marelli) is 150 pounds, yes xenon ones are expensive as hell, around 400 for piece, but halogen ones, as shown in video, are not expensive ;)
And also, those old ones can be polished to look almost brand new ;) if you cant believe that i will send you screenshot from catalogue
That is a LOT of money for a steering rack, I paid $3600 Mexican pesos ($175 usd) for a rebuilt one from autozone with a 3 year warranty. works perfectly fine and my 1991 nissan maxima now runs great and is once again fun to drive
It must be possible to revive the headlamps for less than that. And a whole new front sway bar instead of just new bushes? Yeah, I'm certain that this could be put right for vastly less than £7000. I'd like to see how much you could fix for your £1400 guess (not including tyres and regular service items).
Restore it to OEM specs for cheap!!!! also as a P2 owner I can relate to this.
alex needs to buy a unreliable range rover for a fiver
So just any range rover then? 😂
@@ShibbyJay looking at the 2004 sport model
@@ShibbyJay 1998 discoveries are definitely not unreliable.
Nothin' wrong with Range Rovers other than poor ownership and neglected maintenance. No problems keeping one of them on the road for pennies... my L322 is easy to work on and parts are very cheap with a long production run. Sports are harder to work on and probably had more abuse from the Chester set.
Just come cross your channel and it’s brilliant and hope you are staying safe and well
I’d love to see you guys buy a Volvo S60r or v70r. I think you guys would love it. Great sound, pretty good power, very comfortable, and pretty nice interior.
The thing we need in France, indepedant Volvo specialists
12:40 No wonder in my country volvo headlamps are getting nicked all the time
You know what might make good viewing is seeing you repair it with parts from a breaker/Ebay to show how much it actually costs to keep a cheap car on the road. Even using pattern parts would minimise that bill. No matter what he says those headlamps would polish if it was done properly.
New car throttle video 🥳
Mate is this guy ordering the parts straight from Volvo? Wtf these parts are not worth more then £2,500
Euro car parts has a steering rack to this car for £250.
This guy loved saying “not too bad”
It's a British thing
Thanks guys! I was considering getting a 07-08 Volvo S40 soon. Now, not even for free.
Love this guy.
The “not to bad” Mecanic........the car is leaking everywhere the suspension is f tyres gone basically car needs loads to be done to it but is “ not too bad”
Could do all those repairs for a fraction of the total, guess it makes it more interesting though
Last time i was this early Volvo were winning BTCC
Man that was pre internet wasn't it?? 😁😃
7:27 knowing Volvo's assembly process, those bushing are probably formed on the anti-roll bar or put on before it's bent. Meaning even if you could order the bushings individually, you probably couldn't get them on, and even if you did you would probably just want to pay the full price for the new anti-roll bar, out of sheer convenience.
That's insane prices I payed 200 for a stearing rack for my t5 from a volvo special brakers in west yorkshire also payed 30 quid for a wing mirror. And 30 quid for the headlight switch block

"bit of an oil leak on the rack, most likely coming from the rack"
What would have made a great episode/series would have been then going and seeing how cheaply you could do the jobs sourcing oem and used parts and doing the work yourselves. Now that would have been worth watching!
The internet is all you need for maintaining a Volvo because the online community is EXCELLENT.
That V70 would go through a MOT for less than £250 no problem.
I reckon he must’ve got the prices for the parts off EuroCarParts before entering a discount code😳😳😂😂
@alana mcarroll Yes I totally agree. It's just pointless when they have a different discount every week. Just do it at that price all of the time and cut the bullshit.
There used to be a euro car parts guy on a forum I use, kept coming on offering discount codes. He lasted a couple of weeks before he gave up after all the crap we gave him 🤣🤣
This is the exact opposite of 'advertisement' for this garage
It's nothing against the garage, these are the prices you can expect for going OEM/Specialist.
