Saw the thread title, the low reply count, and thought: "Oh, some poor sap bought a bone stock V40 and ventured into SA. Better give him a pity click."

Was pleasantly surprised.

What do you do when you need parts for a beast like that? Is it road legal? Insurable? What year is it?

Sounds really interesting with those swedish blokes taking over support for everything. I'm danish, if you need anything swedish translated, I'll give it a shot.

My Dad just sold his WJ Jeep and bought a V40 diesel wagon, what's wrong with them?

Oh, probably nothing, it was just the least interesting Volvo I could come up with at 6 am. My Dad is on his fifth Volvo, coincidentally, and over all it's my impression that they're good cars, both before and after Ford got involved.

But back on track. Sounds like a good idea with smaller wheels for working on it, there should be quite a few inches to be had there, that's for sure.

Do you have any specs as to what it'll theoretically do? Approach angle, max climb angle, max sideways sloping angle etc.?

I just can't get over how little distance there is between the two rear wheel (on the same side.) I hold an M.Sc. in Engineering, so logically I can see that there's no way anything would get wedged in there, and if it did it would pop out immediately due to the rotation. It just still looks off to me. v:shobon:v
