Hi guys.

Confirmed with the dealer that the fogs are H1 sized.  The reason I wasn't sure because Powerbulbs initially told me that they are H3.

My Philips Vision Plus H1's and H7's are on...

Agreed Wiz, it would seem that front sensors would make better sense.  Although I find the rear set useful as well because occasionally parking spaces in Bangkok have low-lying objects that are...

The manual says the fogs take H1 bulbs, but I have a V70 manual not a XC manual for some reason.  Just in case there might be a difference, I will ring my dealer.

Wiz, Powerbulbs sell the...

I know the front sensors come standard on the Mercedes S Class and the BMW 7 series.  Other brands/models probably as well.  One of my staff just bought a new top-of-the-range Camry (in...

Wow, there's been quite a discussion since I went to bed.  

I will be ordering the Phillips Vision Plus for my headlights and the Osram Supers for my fogs from Powerbulbs.  The rep...

I am going to order replacement bulbs for my fog lights.  Does anyone know the size?

Thanks.

I had it installed when I bought my car, and was able to get it included for free.

I think it is great.  Basically there are four sensors evenly spaced across your rear bumper.  As you...

Like Mike, I paid over $70,000 for my XC.  Unlike Mike, my company didn't pay.  The car does come pretty well loaded though.

Coastal you asked about SIN taxes.  In Singapore, you...

What's it got under the hood?  

It would look good as a convertible.

Good advice on checking out the systems first.  Personally I like your suggestion of making the car a video-free zone the best, but my wife wants the vdo for the kids.  I'll ask my dealer...

I've been thinking about installing headrest mounted screens, but I've never heard anything regarding safety issues.  Does anyone have this type of set-up installed?  If so how do you like...

I agree with Magic Dragon -- you should go straight to the dealer and get them to repaint.  That is not normal.

Good luck,
Wayne

Seems worth waiting for.  I only purchased my XC three months ago and might have waited had I known.  But then again in Thailand we won't see the 2003 until May of next year.

Wayne

Fortunately no, but my BMW used to do this, after only a month of ownership.  The problem was that the strut cover (I think that was the term) was not tightened properly.  It needed an...

Personally I am not interested in one, but Volvo makes something called a 'towbar-mounted bicycle holder' which holds two bikes in the rear.

Wayne

Thanks Gundo.

I suppose Thule makes a rack that will fit directly on the roof rails on the Volvo.  Is this right?

Hi all.

Does anyone have experience with the Volvo bike rack that has the gas sprung lifting arm?  My dealer has a special on it and it looks cool, but I'm not sure of its sturdiness.

Also...

Wheels look really nice!

That sucks.  I hope you push the issue with them -- maybe you'll get your money back.

Get your hood painted!  If you know that they're there they'll eat away at you.  Better save...

I recently conducted a benchmarking survey for Sydney Airport, and I have not come across anything similar to Munich; however I must say we were only looking at airport-managed services.  I do...

Wax might do it -- it depends.  Try to get a cleaning type wax.  My wife is not as diligent as I am so on my last car we wound up with a nasty mark on the hood that never came off....

Supposedly vehicles sold after mid 2002 in the US and Europe have Xenon lights as an option.  Many people on this board ordered them.  Unfortunately they weren't available in Thailand so I...

Yahoo search.

Wayne

Thailand has about 10 dealers but they are all owned by the same company, which is a Volvo JV.  I might just let the manager of my dealership know about the site and let him spread the good...

I'll have to give it a try.  I'll get a friend to ship one over for me.

Thanks for the tip.
