i'll give them a go mate, from what i've read its very easy. Not sure about the bulb failure warning tho mate, after having BT for so long i'm quite good at ignoring warning bulbs messages tho so not too bothered lol
i might need your help/contacts anyway as Bonny has got the DRL's currently on & i want the auto-locking turning on
S60-MBS (Saturday 12th December 2009)
Nice one mate... Exactly same colour and same colour interior as my 02 T5, and all the same mod cons too. got mine for £2500 at 60.000 miles.. I was the same. as soon as I sat in it i knew it was the Model to buy.. hope it all runs smooth for ya... nice motor...

yeh sure i've seen the pics of yours, the only difference i've spotted is i'm sure you've got alloy trim while i've got wood look on the doors & glovebox. I paid the same for my D5, but she's got 147.000 miles lol
she's going well so far mate, except i keep running out of fuel becuase i keep over estimating how much is left lol, & the clutch switch playing up for the cruise control
certainly alot better than any thing else i was looking at for the money

thanks, i do think i got a bit of a lucky bargain tbh. Its good enough to get my old man thinking of a S60 to replace his 9-3 Aero, & he's been a Saab man since i can remember
inless your talking about 10year old Volvo's lol, my 15year old T-5's got 147k on itnew cars dont mind doing 150-200k unlike cars 10 years ago
my HID's turned up this morning, took less than a week to get delivered from Hong Kong & only cost £33. Being impatient i had to try one but going to fit them properly over the weekend
can you guess which side is the HID?

have you had any problem with Blub out failure ? , with your hids
Mine was ok, for 10 mins then popped up on display. Bought hids "bulb out " warning cancellers, didn't work then followed Storm-troll's suggestion, and all is ok
what ones did you get, I'm thinking of another set for C70 and wifes Cmax (both H7)

S80 D5 SE (now enjoying it more)
C70 T5 GT (weekend toy)
S60 D5 SE (gone and i miss it)
Congrats on the new ride fella, and the HID's are going to be a vast improvement over the standard halo's.
As for turning the DRLs and the auto lock on or off and other stuff, it might be worth seeing if anyone knows a diagnostics tech who can give a good deal. Maybe if people have somethings to query, you could organise a day place to perform on multiple cars, the more the cheaper, but only if the diag guy has a wicked rep and he has the volvo bluetooth tech.
Duane, 19's man, you are always pushing the boundaries, will look wicked if you get them... oh but wait wht about the ride height... unfortunately when does it end.... thats right it never does, just like a home, always something to do.

cheers mate, can't wait to try them out
nice one mate i'll have to have a phone round & see who can do whatAs for turning the DRLs and the auto lock on or off and other stuff, it might be worth seeing if anyone knows a diagnostics tech who can give a good deal.

i can soon cut the springs to lower it lol. If i get 19's i've got al set of 17's, 18's & 19's which i can swop between BT & BonnyDuane, 19's man, you are always pushing the boundaries, will look wicked if you get them... oh but wait wht about the ride height... unfortunately when does it end.... thats right it never does, just like a home, always something to do.
been out & fitted the HID's, the only problem i had was i hadn't got a 25mm drill for the dust covers so i just left them off. The bulb retaining clips had to be fulled removed to get the wiring in, bit fiddly but not exactly hard to do. Just need it to go dark out now lol
the drivers side ballast unit i screwed to the ECU box, make sure the wires are well out of the way of the aux belt which is quite close
you can't see it very well (camera phone), but i fitted the passenger side ballast unit to one of the radiator cowling bolts
altho i've only checked that there working i hasn't brought a bulb failure light on yet, & they light up on as DRL's so might just leave it how it is. I'll just drill the shunt if it does bring a light eventually

Great to see the modding / enhancements, and your experiences with the S60..
