I have a 2003 S60R and I am finding that the car will break traction very easily which I would of thought that with the car being AWD it would not do that. like for instance last night on my way home from Harpenden Classic cars on the common, I went on at Jct 10 of the M1 and accelerating off the roundabout onto the slip road down to the motorway, the car just AWD drifted towards lane 2 from lane one, I had to back completely off! I was in 'Sport' mode at the time.
My tyres are all good - Pirelli PZero Rosso with about 5mm of tread and pumped up to the correct tyre pressure of 35psi.
Another problem, being my first Volvo the car shimmies over bumps, rough road in comfort and sport. Is this normal? Because its is very un nerving and making me not enjoy driving the car quickly, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a R.
Could this be problem be solved buy purchasing some performance suspension, bushes and the likes?
Last thing, the Bi-Xenon bulbs as fitted to the S60R as standard are two blue in colour temp and I can hardly see where I am going at night. Can I buy some whiter colder temperature bulbs to replace the oem items?
Sorry for the list of concerns, but, I want to be happy driving the car and currently, I don't.
Btw, I do have a 12 month volvo warranty.
Thanks in advance
Darren
