One impression of “no risk, no fun!” Last time in Norway. And – it was BIG fun!

Here especially for the biggest “fan” of the Haldex-AWD:http://www.swedespeed.com/features/events/malarramo/index.html Is there something like this from/with the allroad?

Hello! I stumbled quite “freshly” here looking for news about the XC90. have ordered me last Thursday a premium, which is supposed to be delivered on May 19th and where I still have until April 10th the option to change equipment details like color and engine etc.. But now that I have read here about the dramatic delivery situation, I do not know if the (nice) seller only wanted to have me at the Angel….and the XC comes much later. Besides, I want to make myself with your help, whether the choice of the D5 was just a seizure of “geiz-ist-geil” madness or reasonable. I want to try the eroticism of fuel saving….after 4 Grand Cherokee, all V8 and no one under 16 liters….or will I despair and annoy myself? Then maybe I take the T2,5….stöhn… Otherwise I find the contributions here most helpful and “growing”, in so many a roadster forum was taken about ‘just 250’.

It has been said that with our Volvo all-wheel (especially XC70/XC90) we can easily rush through field, forest and meadow paths (peel groups and mud trails you prefer to leave away), but what does it look like in winter with snow? Volvo all-wheel looks like, if on the front wheels slip, then the rear wheels turn on. Up and in the plain even in loose snow there are hardly any problems (provided for proper tyres) – but downhill, there are at most brakes but no slip, so also little all-wheel effect (manually you can’t lock anything). Does someone have experience with his Volvo all-wheel in the snow? With us in the lowlands there are hardly any, but one would like to go to the mountains once in the winter holidays. ros

Hello, I’m looking at an interesting press release. In 2005 all of Volvo’s US models will be equipped with an Apple iPod port. Here’s the link to the press release:http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jan/11volvo.html Sounds somehow good, although I have the impression that the solution for S40, V50 and XC90 is an iTrip-like solution. Hopefully the models will be equipped with it in Europe in the future. Gruss Misch

I have tried 8×19 Et35 from a friend and they looked really good. However, I ask myself what looks better for a rim 8/8,5 x19 or just with some bodywork 9 and 10,5×18 the price come the rims with tires come about immediately only with the 18s come still pulling, possibly repainting to it… Somehow I like the wider one better, but I don’t want to have it faded Besides, I’m looking for a chip for the T5 come into question only well-known tuners like MR or Heico… Now I’ve looked in google times and according to the car image the T5 with Heicochip got better values like MR’s because the MR didn’t bring the power to the road… Therefore I ask myself which one is better served with, the ca 20hp more at MR would be very irritating. But if one brings the power with the Heico better on the road that is probably the better solution. What do you have the experience with the chips and the rims with a wider power, I think about the rims with a little more

I don’t think it’s a good idea to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II and I don’t want to have a good time with the V70-II. I want to have a bad time with the P7. I also recommend the Bridgestone ER 300 in the test, but I don’t know Michelin and I don’t want to have a good time with the AMS, I don’t want to have a good time with them. I don’t want to have a good time with them.

… I swear I tried the search, but unfortunately I didn’t find anything on the subject, although I had expected it, because both our XC90, which was driven to the test at the time, as well as our current vehicle, from a certain speed and mostly on the highway, started to whistle … not permanently, but regularly “always again” … … probably comes from the right front area and could be dependent on the wind direction, but where exactly the wind catches and causes the whistle, we could not really locate so far. Best greetings from the north.

Hello dear elk friends. Now I have to buy a new, used one. How should I decide HHIILLFFEE! After a long search in mobile and autoscout, as well as the study of the test reports in ams I have reduced the selection. Either a S80 or a BMW 735i Up to 12.00€, from year 98 or 99 up to approx.125,000 km with full equipment. So or similar. but now there are still harmful emissions, sprite bulging and repair sensitivity. Uff, everything wants to be considered. Had already a 850 T5 and a 735i, where the volvo was new and the bmw was old. had with the volvo, except air conditioning never problems. Then we got away for nn M3. (by the way, a small but horny car.) With the 7ner all went long what broke. everything is electric and only available as a ges. Component. No matter which model however we keep in mind the next one. Have you experiences that can help me with the decision-making.

Hello Volvo driver, in the last few days (almost) every start in the BC the message “Glow lamp defective” appears. So get out and knock on the rear light on the right side of the lamp and the light bulb glows again. Sometimes a very gentle knocking on it is enough, sometimes he wants it something more, the Masochist Woran lies? The bulb is not defective, it is also firmly in the socket (I think at least). I can’t imagine a cable break, since the knocking on the rear light never and never puts the cables in motion. That may be all, but when people watch how to leave their car, get out afterwards and beat against the rear light that is a bit embarrassing and you reap funny looks I don’t know if my ride has already wondered why he is roaring after the start of the engine “ahh, Schei**, knocking out, hitting the rear car and then driving very happy……. Ciao, Eric
