Re: Rec's for cash-strapped student?

Akebono pads work just fine, I used aftermarket rotors with good results. Before getting a new driveshaft, rule out the hub bearing.

Re: Why the XC90 Cigarette Lighter Blows Fuses

What size fuse, what are you powering? The only time I blew a fuse was trying to run an inverter. Oooops

Re: 2006 s60 2.5T 60k miles would you buy one

I have a 2006 with 170,000 miles. It overall has been a good car. Had to rebuild the front end at 135,000 miles. But that seems to be the standard with these cars. If you do your own work you will like it.

(used to make my living as a brake and front mechanic) I replaced the wheels and chalked it up to tire noise. The noise c...

Re: early XC90s built better then P2 cars?

I own both an XC90 and an S60 both are 2006 models with the 2.5T engine. The S60 is my work car with 133,000 miles, the XC90 with 52,000 miles is the family taxi/cargo van. Overall both have preformed well. My only dislikes are the rate that both use tires, the XC90 at 25,000 miles and the S60 at 40...
