The Volvo's only about 1350kg! 120bhp is a bit weak but the turbo, low gearing and torque give it a fair shove. It's quick for an old diesel, I should have said.

Does the Commodore have a stuck viscous fan? I removed the Volvo's one and it sounds a lot better now. Should really sort out an electric replacement, instead of 'no fan/heater on max up steep hills'. Luckily there's no traffic here.
I painted the grille centre satin black and handily broke the clips for the badge. I like the 'egg crate' grilles but they're £50 with OSV/VOC tax.
