For sale - 2004 Volvo S40 T5 Turbo - $13,800 or offer

Superb condition. Just 76,200kms with full service records and all receipts to prove it.

Now I've bought myself a V35 Skyline, I have to sell my wife's car. She's not happy about it, but we all have to make sacrifices sometime.

Seriously though - this is a beautiful car. It was an executive vehicle for Annlyn Motors, the Volvo dealership in Penrith. In 2009 they sold it to a businessman in Newcastle. I bought it in 2011 and since then she's used it to commute to work and for shopping trips. That's why the kms are so low.

It has been serviced every 7,500kms using synthetic oil (of course). The maintenance has been fastidious and it shows. Everything works perfectly.

The Volvo S40 is a wonderfully practical car. All-round visibility is excellent. It's the perfect size for the city - but it loves country trips too. The T5 engine has 162kw and 320nm.

It has multi-folding seats. The HID headlights turn night into day. The audio system is brilliant. It has electric windows, mirrors and seats (with three memories), approach lighting, auto-on/off headlights, plus lots more.

There may be no safer car on the market. It has stability control, traction control, six airbags, Pirelli P7 tyres and all the usual Volvo safety features.

If you or your partner wants a European luxury car as your second car (after the Skyline of course), or as a family car, then this may be the one for you. It's completely reliable, totally safe, superb to look at, very quick, luxurious to drive and, at this price, ridiculously good value.


My wife loves this car, but we now have five cars (plus my work car) and only four drivers in our family, so one of them needs to go. I would love to keep it anyway, but I just can't justify it. So my loss will be your gain.

Please call me on 0401 710 449 if you're interested. Thanks!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
