| 240 Bumper | 28 Feb 2009 18:34 GMT | 4 |
The right rear bumper on my 88 245 is suddenly not aligned to the car. It is level, but the right side is about an inch farther from the car, relative to the left. It would appear the right has moved out, as some of the trim above the bumper has seperated on that side. I can't ...

| 2001 volvo S80 T6..., To buy or not to buy????? | 28 Feb 2009 16:37 GMT | 4 |
I'm interested in buying a 2001 Volvo S80, it has about 180k on the clock but has been well maintained. I have read some reviews about this car and have mixed feelings. Some people had had nightmares with these cars while others have had a relatively trouble free cars. I

My 1990 240 DL has been sitting for months now and I need to sell it. My question is whats the easiest way to get rid of the old gas? Can it be drained from the tank or can I just add a bottle of HEET? Thanks.

| v70 Seat belt stuck | 27 Feb 2009 19:51 GMT | 2 |
Greetings I posted (new service provider so different account) over a month ago about driving a v70 T5 across from east coast Australia to Perth towing a boat. All fantastic, even in the 46 degree heat on the Nullabor the temp stayed dead center, I was very happy with it.

| 1990 740GL bent spindle? | 23 Feb 2009 18:12 GMT | 5 |
I recently acquired the car, and found it has a gentle but constant pull to the left while driving, that wasn't particularly noticeable during the giddy excitement or the initial test drive. I checked for the usual things; uneven tire pressures, conical tire wear, bent control arms ...

| XC70 Satnav | 19 Feb 2009 18:25 GMT | 1 |
Does anyone know if it is possible to improve the performance via firmware, updates etc, of the built in satnav. It is so slow and lacking features. ( 2008 XC70).

| Battery died - stereo went out with 'code', cruise control broken, 'service' light on | 17 Feb 2009 00:43 GMT | 3 |
My battery died overnight when a light was left on in my 2004 C70. The stereo system has stoppped working - only the word 'code' comes up in the radio panel and none of the features work. The cruise control is also not working. There is predictably a 'service' light on. A trip to

My speedometer/odometer was intermittent for quite a while but has now stopped working altogether. Repair is estimated at A$350 so I would like to see if I can fix it myself. Any ideas anyone?

| Faded 1990 740 bumper | 08 Feb 2009 13:41 GMT | 5 |
The bumper on my 1990 740 GLE is in good shape for it's age but the original color, a sort of medium brown, has faded considerably. When it's wet the color is much like what I believe to be the original but as soon as it dries it's back to the very (!!) light tan.

| visor won't go up - what to do? | 07 Feb 2009 00:25 GMT | 4 |
The visor on the drivers side of my C70 won't stay in the up position. I'm afraid to change the visor out with the one on the passenger side due to the airbag that may or may not be inside of it. There doesn't appear to be any mechanical thing I can adjust except 2 screws that
