  • Wishlist MJ 2005

    Hi Leutz, another thread has already been listed, what you would expect so much for an MJ 2005. I start with (quote from another thread: regarding wish options the Volvo should offer in my opinion also for 2 years, the following points would be included: – “automatic window panes close with remote control” (does not cost the world, however, there is simply not) – that the exterior mirrors e.g. also automatically darken (other Herstel The possibility to choose a “premium” paint finish – which is less sensitive than the current varnishes of Volvo – – automatically darkening sides/heck discs…. – or as an option an electrically retractable “solar roller” on the rear window, – Bluetooth system (for telephone) or other devices – automatic air pressure control of the tires – DVD player with LCD monitors in the headrests for fund passengers – And the new hip: moving out illumination of the road… – etc… What do you still think is missing?

  • Countryman S 4ALL or SD 4ALL decision support

    My wife and I want to buy a countryman. We have now driven all possible engine variants except for the S 4ALL and are sure we are at the equipment, etc.. The last question that still asks us is whether we should take the petrol or the diesel. We did not drive the S 4ALL. We can imagine that it goes very well after a Cooper S ride. However, the SD 4ALL goes very well. I would like to have the petrol instead of the diesel, but I want to take the car, which is ultimately more profitable. What would you like? Will the S 4ALL be significantly more expensive (tax and fuel only) at 20000km per year than the SD 4ALL? Tax at the S is at 106€ tax per year and the SD at 210€. We drive about 60% highway/motorway and 40% city. We are simply undecided. The fun factor of the S would certainly be high, but if it is worth it to us, we just don’t know. The consumption of the SD 4ALL has been very good at the P What would you say out of your stomach?

  • Volvo Möhrtschenteising

    Hi together, can you buy Volvo merchandising products somewhere directly (caps, pendants, ballpoint pens and what else do I know)? Here’s the beginning with a product that doesn’t come from Volvo – but I thought this right away when I saw the animal and the word “winter fun” … Tschau Torsten – the XC fan (who doesn’t have a Volvo cap yet)

  • Engine problems with CRX ED9! ASSISTANCE!

    Hello! Today the following happened to me: I’m going there with the 3rd gear and get on the gas and the car slows down!!!! Then it took a few seconds and it went on normal! Make me really worried!!! Besides, I noticed recently that he always takes a kind of commemorative second when “gassing” before it accelerates! Almost like a diesel-powered vehicle! When it starts then it turns up pretty tough! What’s this about? Could it be a clogged petrol filter or slim merees like injection pump or engine control unit?`

  • Who knows this component on the front axle of the new RRS?

    Hello together Today I upgraded my RRS P550e for overlanding to the AT wheels. I mounted the Pirelli Scorpion Allterrain + on the 20th LR rim (Style 5125). Now a small challenge arose in the assembly of the front wheels. The photographed component prevented the assembly. The original 20th rim was too tight… Now fortunately we could just unscrew the part and then the assembly worked perfectly! (The red pin on the picture is t the Torx key, which we used to unscrew) Question to you experts: Who knows the part? Why was it installed? I’m curious.

  • Windshield leaks in Discovery 5 / chassis sinks by itself.

    Hello, I can probably line up in the series of Discovery 5 owners (MJ23) with a leaky windshield. Thought it would be the sunroof, but it is probably really the windshield. The water drips from the area of the sky above the rear-view mirror, where the electronics and sensors are installed. Hopefully it did not get anything. Tomorrow the water stands well half-high in the cupholder and the ground on the passenger side is soaked. Unfortunately, the windshield has a length of I’m driving around with DuckTape tape. Unfortunately, this doesn’t help and I keep the car as dry as possible. It’s very strange that despite the guarantee and mobility guarantee, a one-year-old car is not a replacement car. In order for the glue to harden, the car has to stay in the workshop for a complete day, but the actual repair probably takes only 30 minutes. In addition, a life of its own in form that the chassis w nourishingly short stops e.g. refuelling but no longer driving up. Tip from LR Service: Shoot the car for 15 minutes and then restart it. It works so far, but is annoying. Workshop appointment only possible in 6 weeks. I am still quite impressed with my car. Let’s see how it continues.
