Ex-police car? So the sort of thing jumped in and wheelspun away from the police station from cold? Right...

[Robatr0n]

They do actually chuck a stupid amount of money at police cars to keep them in top condition.

Thats more something out of starsky and hutch, but the way most people drive thier cars stop start to the shops 1 mile down the road prob does more damage than the police driving around all day.

To be honest Al, I reckon that's over-priced... It's unlikely that the BiB remapped it to 310bhp, so it was done afterwards - most quotes I've seen for these reckon on around 290. No mention of who did the map - has it been to a reputable RR to prove the 310?

I thought you were looking for RWD or 4x4? These are FWD and a lot heavier than the Clio... Very rapid 'sleepers' though!!

Some pricing examples for 2.0T (180bhp standard):

Why dont you pop it down to Charlie's to check its power output before you do the deed?

been trawling the volvo clubs too, and seeing the price of them, and your right the price is a bit high, dont want to be giving much in way of px. Also the bhp claims I am taking with a pinch of salt. the thing was the px easyness, as dont know if the clio will sell.

[HappyS3owner]

James had a 300bhp ish V70 T5 so I believe they're good for the claims...

My vote is do it, that would be class!

[VerySideways]

Be warned, turning circle on the S60 is about four miles (my mum has one, the 2.4T).

YUP aweful turning circle on these.

D5 is good fun to with a decent remap.

[tuscan_al]

He says I can swap with £150 his way... I just spent 12 months tax on clio and the volvo needs it next month. decommissioned in 2006, @ 114k, 150k on clock now, two private owners. hmmm

[Rich VRS]

i would of thought the clio would be worth more than that!
