Probs with bulb failure/luggage load cover/fuel filler cap

[Wolvo]

I apologise in advance for my questions,as I am fairly new to this forum and to Volvo's in general.I finally picked up my P2 V70 T5 a couple of days ago and need to sort out a few minor problems;


I'm getting the following error message on the dash - bulb failure - position light.Can anybody throw any light on that one....hehe

I never checked the rear load cover when i picked up the car as it was just on the back seat and presumed it was in full working order.The bloke had just shoved the spring coil up into the housing,I cant get it to recoil - is there a special way of recoiling it?

and finally,the fuel filler cap doesnt lock - I dont think its the fuse,as the rear doors central locking mechanism still works.

Sorry for so many questions,any help would be appreciated !!!

The first one if it isn't a blown bulb check all of your connections, I have a bilb in the rear cluster on mine light warning comes on when i hit a bump light goes off.

Bring it over to Birmingham and we can all have a look for you.

Would be handy for us if you put your solution to the bulb failire... assuming it wasn't just a blown bulb :)

Gary - I've a similar problem to you - just need to track it down.

Andrew - It was a simple bulb failure - v.straightforward in the end.

what was the fix for the load cover, i heard they can be done by sticking a couple of big screws up the end - is there a better alterative?

What's the secret Viking? I've had mine apart and it seems to be the motor, but you think I can find a replacement that is the same rating and size? Nope.

The fuel filler cap locking mechanism needs to be replaced on mine.There is a small black plastic bolt which shoots out and locks the cap.Someone had tried to force mine and in the process,snapped off the bolt.Hence a straightforward replacement..which I havent sourced yet.

Having the same problem with mine, but the plastic bolt doesn't appear to have broken off, just not engaging into the flap, any help appreciated.
