The OEM colour is more brownish I'd say and less glossy, but to me looks good.

Yeah, I agree with both of you. We'll see how long it lasts. Meawhile I went and bought some paint:

I wonder if it went through any treatment or hardening process of some sort, sadly I'd not expect it to last very well without something additional...

Found the same issue here: https://www.volvo-forums.com/t37010-v40-relocking-itself.htm Seems like it was a sticking fob "lock" button. Maybe...

OK, the garage have had my car for 8 full days now and I still don't have her back. I can see that she has been MOT'd as that runs out 24/6/21, so...

I have absolutely no smoke or anything noticeable from the exhaust. Let you know how I go with her, if she gets sorted and what the fault/s...

I've been buying the Castrol Edge 0w30 A5/B5 oil and it's costing me 2p/mile in oil never mind the poor mpg as well. I seriously think that my C70 T5...

My V50 was never brilliant on fuel, low 40s was the norm. That's 56 mile motorway round trip to work with cruise set at 70mph. When it's problems...
