Re: Codes for stereo reset

I just bought one off ebay because mine wasn't working. The code was missing so I got a bargain. £10.00 + postage. I phoned local Volvo dealer and gave him the serial numbers on the unit. Within a matter of minutes he'd found the code although I did have to go through the procedure of leaving it tur...

This carries on until the car has reached its normal temperature then disappears not to be seen again until t...

Re: "Check Engine" light on, is it a false alarm?

Mine came on a while ago for no apparent reason. I had it checked out by a local garage with a code reader but could not find a fault. He couldn't put it out either so I thought I'd live with it for a while and take it to a dealer when I had the time. A few weeks later I borrowed the battery out of ...

Re: Draper Reset Tool. Where do you get it?

Thanks for your help, I will probably get one in the near future unless I can persuade a dealer to do it for me. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. John

Draper Reset Tool. Where do you get it?

Thanks for the advice, I shall give this a bit of thought before I rush in. The wear and tear of the pads concerns me as I'm not one to check the condition regularly, which is why I had new discs in the first place.

V70 Vented frontdisks

Hi all this is my first post but it probably won't be my last!! I had new front disks fitted a few months ago and now suffer incredible vibration when braking. I've been told that this is probably caused by the disks not being fitted squarely on the hub, so they don't revolve parallel to the front w...
