Correct you have no DTCs showing, this was mine 5 years ago when I checked it. https://i.imgur.com/OW104m9.mp4 I was at a car meeting a couple of weeks ago where another Volvo owner with an Autodiagnos code reader gave my car a scan. This is the first time I've ever seen a scan tool that is able to ...

A couple of pictures from last night when I was out and about in Val

I lost a close friend a couple of weeks ago and the funeral is tomorrow so in preparation for the sad day I gave Kära her first wash since coating the paintwork in Gtechniq C2 Ceramic sealant. The surface is so smooth and slippery that washing was like skating on ice with the sheepskin wash mitt gli...

Val attended the classic car show at Bridge of Allan today. I've been going to this show since 2006 and in 2007 I won car of the show with Tilly, my 1947 Rover P2. Weather today was perfect, some sunshine then a bit of cloud to cool us all down, then some more sunshine. Tilly collecting her prize ba...

The Moffat show is always an interesting one as it's close to the border and gets a lot of southern cars attending that we don't usually see further north.

@ Blacklab467. I don't think Volvo do a dog crate, they do have dividers but I've never seen a crate. Thule do a crate but I didn't like the horizontal bars so I went for the German TÜV approved 4pets Pro crate as there's less for a puppy to get its legs caught on. The puppy is Brodie, a Japanese Sh...

You sure that dog is not a tiny red fox??

It's been said many times they look like foxes

Brodie is just back from his first big trip in the car. We have our grandchildren from London staying for the summer so we all ventured up to the highlands for a family gathering at my daughter's house. Brodie hadn't really done any car travelling except for a couple of short journeys locally and th...
