Have you tried cleaning the ETM? ALthough it won't fail in the same way as the p.o.s. MM ones, it could give your idle problems if dirty.

Just fitted mine and it's great. Works brilliantly with ipod Touch and ok with iphone - although a bit of interference from the iphone when the mode which allows the auxilliary mode is used (not...

If I'm right in thinking your car is an Auto, I wouldn't even think about a poly bush in the engine top mount. Too many auto drivers seem to have tried them and then had to take them out because...

Bet it's the fuel. Has happened to me twice. There's enough fuel in the car to keep the engine running and actually drive to your parking spot, but not enough to start it. Slope makes it worse. ...

Sad though it may seem, I suspect you'll have to tell your insurance company that you are removing the airbag.

On the subject of holding onto gears longer when cold - it's quite feasible that it is programmed to do this to warm up the engine quicker - or more importantly warm up the cat quicker to improve...

Might be cheaper to buy a car that's got them on. Alternatively I've ended up putting rubber spring assistors on the rear of mine. Not completely perfect as it does tend to drag when I've got a...

I don't think the old 4 speed box needs the pricey JWS3309 oil - as your seem to have confirmed it's just bog standard Dexron III, so from that point of view you're lucky. It's only the 5 speed AW...

How about this for an approach

Disarm, get in the car and close the door
Lock all the doors with the drivers door button
Start the engine
Get out of the drivers door (only unlocks the drivers...

I think it's because the diesel is more thermally efficient than petrol which is why they use less fuel, but does mean it takes longer to warm up. Has to be some advantage to fuel guzzling spark...

The beauty of the different lock stops is they increase your turning circle so avoiding the tyre rubbing problem. I just try not using full lock unless I really have to.

I have been really pleased with a set of Valeo aftermarket flat blades, wipe well and lasted ages. They do have a small label which is meant to highlight when they need changing but you have to...

These are the cargo aea blinds for the P2 http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=29_781_780&products_id=3984

I got mine here but am sure Rufe subsequently mentioned doing them...

Depending on your car Volvo do some really good sun blinds. Cover the whole window and can be removed in 10 secs. I've fitted them on all 3 windows in the cargo bay of my V70 and leave them in all...

Volvo have alwasy claimed the fluid doesn't need changing. It a really neat trick because the fluid is scandalously expensive (especially if you buy it from a Volvo dealer) so having no fluid change...

Top mount? When mine went it would occasionally emit a bang which you could feel through the body - and didn't always happen on the biggest bumps.

Amount of rubbing may also depend on the brand of tyre fitted as well. The P6000s which many Volvos seem to come with have particularly rounded shoulders and a narrow tread so they're less likely to...

Low auto box fluid will have the effect of slipping - could it be that?

I get about 18MPG from my 2.4T auto around town too, always use V Power. Over the weekend I did a trip from London to Cambridge then Leicester so decided to see the best economy I could get out of...

Maybe the window thinks it's encoutering an obstruction and is going back down again. My Merc used to do this sometimes - think it was an over enthusiastic safety feature in case a hand (or head)...

Goodyear Eagle F1's. Just fitted them to my 2.4T, better grip than the Kumho Ecstas they replaced but the biggest surprise is how quiet they are.
