Very sorry to hear this sad news.
It's a twist-off hex mount (thanks Volvo for avoiding anything standard, once again!)
Happy 2014 everyone :)
Any suggestions as to how the rear view mirror on a 2010 (or thereabouts) V50 is removed? Is there a clip or screw somewhere, or is it a twist-off type mount?
I'm...
Can't sell the Boxster?
I won't say they work brilliantly, but they did stop my missus from reversing into a pillar yesterday, so for £15 for the kit, some paint and some time, that's a WIN!

Plus they...
Those look really nice for winter wheels - but 17"s look tiny on the car when you're used to seeing it on 18"s!
Roll on summer LOL
That sounds veeeeeeery familiar! :)
Disappointing but true - Volvo have let their consumer performance brand drift away from them. They've gone from the R, which had differentiated performance attainable by the man in the street, to...
The "Sport" on the V5 would refer to the trim level. You could have Sport trim with or without the Sport chassis I believe.
Yep I think that only the springs varied.
Obviously excluding the self-levelling/nivomats when the rear shocks also changed.
I think the V70R even had it as an option (on the 4C shocks).
Put it another way, when I bought new springs for the R from Volvo, they wanted to confirm whether I wanted the sports or normal...
If you just want the R springs then let me know the part number and I will check if they are the ones I have here.
I have a set of shoes and springs to sell - if you are still looking.
Nope I never changed the phone battery, I never used the carphone!
I loved the "privacy handset" though... very 80s-wideboy.
The PHM-0030 one was persistent through my ownership. It's the on-call back-up battery. Completely useless, so it was the one fault code I lived with!!! :)
I read the codes before I sold you...
Nope - it went off the radar last year, I never heard back from KnightRider.
I did!
No photos yet... but will try to grab a couple when the a) car is clean and b) it's not raining :)
The dipstick has the official 3/4 fill label next to it, nice way to fix the problem by Volvo :D...
Yeah, but the V40 FEELS like a focus - have you tried to get in the boot of one of those??? :D
Quite enjoying our new (to us) V50 D5 here - it's a 2009 and we are averaging 45mpg or so. The facelift ones look quite sharp as well.
I looked at a new V40 before buying this and discovered that...
Much better without the towbar on! :)
Here's the bit of the rear loom that I touched, just for reference -

Hello there - pleased to see all the attention the car is getting - going to be a credit to you, Harvey!
That wiring is a mess in the boot, I know of one repair to the loom but not two. And I...
Nice to hear of the plans ahead, and glad she is in such good hands!
Mine has taken a bashing (rock fell off a truck a few months back and hit it) - so if it was easily swapped, I would! But for now... straighten it, paint matt black, and you can't see it again :)
