Nothing major wrong yet though, touch wood! But in the space of a month...

  • High-level brake light has packed up. Probably wiring.
  • Handbrake sticking. Easily sortable.
  • Rear side marker light failed. Only a bulb.
  • Phone battery (for On Call) low. £100 battery and Volvo software reset required.
  • Alternator control module fault. Gone away for now.
  • Satnav fault still under investigation.


Add a cambelt service and two front tyres, it's not been a cheap month

All little stuff, but it's just amusing how buggy these cars can be when you cram more and more electronics into them!

It IS a beautiful car, so all is forgiven. Looking forward to getting it all sorted out in Jan.
