been & picked up Bonny this afternoon & to say i'm impressed is an understatement. Reset the mpg when i left & she had averaged 62mpg when i got home, it was upto 65 but went down with the city driving & traffic. The garage had done most of what he said he'd do, 2 new tyres, service, fresh MOT & new rear pads which it failed on during the test (he hadn't changed the wiper blades tho). Altho i've only had a quick play i'm not as impressed with the pro-logic stereo as i thought i would be
& it turns out it hasn't got heated front screen, it was the normal heater demist (& i haven't got heated seats either)
altogether tho you really can't tell its a diesel & got to be the most comfy Volvo i've been in

finally finished modifying Bonny. The handfree kit's been removed, the trailored floor mats in, the armrest cover fixed (well a proven bodge, thanks people) & the gearlever gaitor replaced with a new one. Just got to fix the cruise control & she's fully finished lol
& she's famous already (well sort of), the ebay seller who i brought the gear lever gaiter off asked for some pictures & has used them on his advert

a very good product if anyone is interested

when i removed the handsfree cradle i followed the wiring back & found out it was a universal Nokia kit, after a bit of internet research i found out the main box unit is the same one they supply with there Bluetooth kit. Bored at dinnertime i did a scan & the phone found it, so got a fully working handsfree kit as an even extra bonus with Bonny
all i seem to be doing with the S60 is chasing blown bulbs, while replacing the rear sidelight i couldn't help but do another mod. Taking the bulb holder out i noticed there was a spare bulb slot on the passenger side, figured out it was the fog light so tried a bulb in & it all worked, took a minute of messing trying to get the holder back in before i noticed they had blanked off the hole in the lense but that was easily fixed lol. Got twin fog lights now
yay i've finally got the cruise control sorted, well i think so i've changed the clutch switch (was very easy) & no longer get the engine service message & the cruise control light comes on, which is good enough for me lol
How high is that handbrake lol Looks nice how many do you want? One for everyday lol
Living the volvo dream!!
i think it could do with going down a notch or 2, but you get used to it. The fact it rolls back onto the handbrake is the more annoying thing. It rolls back about a feet before the brakes grip, almost ran over my bro a couple of times because he's eager to get out before its stopping lol
a boring one & a racey one will do for now, until i win the lottery lolLooks nice how many do you want? One for everyday lol
You have pm mate
Living the volvo dream!!
as Santa hasn't got a paypal account i've had to order my own HID's & he's giving me the cash, i'm an impatient git so fingers crossed they won't take long to turn up (from Hong Kong so bet they do)
just a private reg, ECU remap & 2 x 12" subs & amp & she's finished then lol
