I think by Lee itemising his costs for routine maintenance, this has actually highlighted how maintenance reliant these cars actually are.

Personally, I thank both Lee and Martyn for doing this,...

Thanks for the link. Looks ok BUT I have never been a fan of the Nautic Blue, nor the Black. Would love another Saffron, but also a Lazy Blue or Red or Green. Silver just doesn't do it for me...

Look on the bright side fellas.......if they are anything like their restaurants, then there will be a dealership in every village :eye-poppi

Is it me, but is that 850 extra small or is the man in shorts a giant??

Changed the antenna ring yesterday........had to remove the steering wheel to get the lower trim panel off without snapping the bloody thing :yikes:

I went and had my 4 wheels laser aligned today at Nigel Langs garage in Bolton, and can honestly say that Peter has done a fantastic job :B_thumb:

I can highly recommend anyone who can get to...

My standard R is fed on normal Shell, and for some reason, I get better economy (and no noticeable difference) than if I used the Optimax (V power)

Thanks Steve

Why did you chose to buy this oil rather than the Volvo fluid.

In my experience whenever the engine management light has illuminated on the dash, it has always had something to do with the Mass Air Flowmeter (MAF). If you take it apart whatever you do is DO NOT...

I took my car at first to a local Volvo dealer who had "never heard of top mounts wearing on the Classics" and would not commit to a diagnosis without having to strip the struts first. Fair point...

It's certainly different.........but not my favourite cuppa

Can anyone explain how the self levelling suspension system works. I don't have any access to Haynes or other manuals so can't read up on it.

Thanking yous

If you don't want a car with roof rails, buy a hatchback or saloon !!
