Just don't see a lot of white XC's - usually lots of metallic.
An after market sound system will blow away any OEM system so not to worry.
Enjoy every second (and being able to drive sand...
Attention DBone: make sure you are negotiating on a T6. Standard 6 is a pig.
Will get right on it - Saves the $60 the dealer would have charged me :(.
Thanks again.
We'll never forget the day we lost 'ole 2002 - was a beaut. Excellent build quality.
Even when hit by a Range Rover ...

R.I.P....
Looks well embedded in the bumper - has anyone replaced one yet without removing the bumper from behind?
Cheers

LOVED my 2002 until son totaled it.
2008 is ok.

Now driving a 2008 Oyster Grey - loaded.

Wheel locks use a crazy lock bolt pattern.
Boneheads at the dealership left me with the wrong bolt lock key after switching in the Spring.
Had to flat bed it since we could not get the wheel...
We had a 2002 - built like a rock. Until my 17 year old introduced to to a Range Rover :(

01/02 were very good years.

Go for nice 18" aftermarket rims and use the OEM's for winter. Easy setup - extends the tire wear lives all around.

- squeaky tailgate (bathe it in WD40 weekly)
- entire centre console shut down - (main module of some kind replaced)
- 12V outlets blew fuses (front and in trunk of car)
- door locks stopped...
Waaay to disappointed to even list issues - next round - Audi. [thumbup]
I don't feel so bad dropping $100 on a good adjustable torque wrench then ...
Appreciate this - Cheers

And not just Volvo.
My 2004 Audi S4 blew its motor after a month - was the first V8 in the A4 series.
Volvo not immune but for the $$$ it really sux.
They don't build anything like they used...
They have served my '95 Passat, 2002 XC70 and are now on my 2008 XC70.
They don't make stuff like they used to.
... the trouble with intermittent problems - you take it in and it works and they can't diagnose it.
Will let you know!
p.s. as an odd coincidence, the power outlets in the front and back seat...
Much appreciated - good to know there are more XC70'ers in the same boat (car-wise not gremlin-wise).
Will take the posted thread to the Dealer.
Cheers!
Past 2 weeks has seen the radio and A/C system completely shut down.
It's intermittent but getting more regular.
Pain in the asx as the whole console is interconnected (save for the seat...
It's my wife's car.
Just an opinion.
Peace.
