I have a 2001 S40 and my cruise control does not work. I switch it on, the light on the dash comes on and then I press '+' to attempt to engage it but nothing happens.

Well, I purchased my first ever Volvo and got a 2001 S40 with just 75k miles. When the car is in gear and the foot is on the brake (stopped at a light for example), the engine will miss (the kids describe it as a hiccup). I was speculating that it may be the ignition coils so I got a pair from the l...
