Hello all, this is my first post on here, just found the site on a google search.

I'm in the unfortunate position of having damaged beyond repair my 850 manual estate.

I've been looking through the "auto trader" ads in the UK at the 2.5 litre diesel powered V70's as a possible replacement.

Many of these cars have the automatic gearboxes, I'm wondering if any of you have exerience of these. and what the pitfalls are (obviously one benefit is no clutch to wear out).

Are they long legged ?, are there any common problems ?

Many thanks in advance for any help
