Nice motor ST, we had a similar one until fairly recently. Watch the roof mechanism, the operation of ours began to get slower and slower, until it finally threw it's hand in, presenting us with a bill for £450 for a control module.
Then the brake control module went at a similar cost.
Thankfully both done under manufacturers warranty.
I don't know how true it is but one of the mechanics, who had done the "roof course" said whereever possible try to operate the roof whilst on level ground because it's such a heavy peice of kit, operating it on a incline stressses the components.

Cheers mate. I will make sure to do that.. I picked her up this morning. I cannot believe the amount of gadgets it has in it and the Pro Logic surround sound system is amazing. never heard anything like it.. 12 speakers in teh car and two subs in the boot as standard.. even the BLIS system is well handy for those pesky blind spots..
Nice job.
I give it a month until BLIS starts to get /really/ annoying

I was going to say get a wind deflector if you havnt got one, they make all the difference with the roof down. How do you like the new spongy T5 engine???
Thanks

The boot floor is a bit crap with the wheel, volvo sell a part you can fit over it. Fitting is easy its just unfolding and folding its the head scratcher, there is 2 holes behind each front seat it pops into, an then there's 2 bits that slide under the rear headrests
Thanks

That a real beauty and you're going to turn some heads! Are the wheels the Ortreras which I have in graphite on my V70? Hope the motor goes well for you.

These are mine which I've referred to as 'graphites' since gettting them. I've been told they're Ortreras. Are they similar to the Menzerna's that you had?
not sure the name of the wheels and yes. heads are turning everywhere. u would have thought ppl would have seen a convertible before lol
Nice but cold weather this weekend. Roof down or up?

Roofs been down all day. popped over to the vikings. into town up n down the motorway etc.. stopped at a garage and an old convertible bmw stopped next to me. driver jumped out. some 18 year old gimp. turned to me and said your brave having the roof down in this weather. so I quipped back. "thats why I drive a Volvo and you drive a Bmw. then laughed. then he rapidly vanished into the garage lol.!
