The Volvo thread

[Bonefish Blues]

That's the only thing you'll pull in a Volvo

Simon Templar never seemed to be short of totty.

Benny and Bjorn from Abba drove Volvos too.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

I drive a Volvo. I have empirical evidence, therefore, that those who are neither outrageously handsome nor a global recording star get bog all

I did, however, very disconcertingly, get propositioned by some girls in their school uniform whilst sitting in a Boxster outside a row of shops

Yes, but I'm accessible

Saw a nice S80 in the car park earlier are they a smoother drive than the v70?

 

[Drago]

The S80 is the saloon version of the V70, so unlikely to differ much in the way they get up the road.

Eyeing the success of the new VW e-Van thing (looks nice in the flesh, I thought) perhaps?

Serious question......2012 D5 engine - when does the cambelt need changing - I had the (mis) fortune of having the alternator/auxiliary belt let go in France 2 days before I was due to drive home - fortunately the local village garage had one in stock and sorted it out within 2 hours on a Friday afternoon, but when does the internal main timing belt need changing?

Bizarrely (maybe) I seem to be getting much better (i.e 10mpg+) fuel economy now I've had the cambelt changed.

It's now in its new home, cleaned, Lanoguarded and tucked up in bed until the Spring.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Now here's a question. Why Lanoguard?

Highly effective, extremely easy to apply, doesnt hide any crud or rot, actively drives out moisture and even salt crystals. You'll cry tears of joy first time you apply it.
