Took my v70 in for service,and the noisey heater was because of the climate control being out of sync.One side would blow hot then cold without me touching anything,this was the buzzing noise i heard,it was the motor switching from hot to cold.They just plugged it into the computer and reset it, and...

Hi recently changed my discs and handbrake shoes,however the Haynes manual i used didn't show how to do the shoes.The manual i had was for 2000 to 2007 but the pictures showed a different handbrake setup.It was quite easy to do the hardest part was finding where to wind off the cable,so i could fit ...

This is my new car,very pleased so far,it does what it says on the tin,it fires up 1st time every time.All i've done to it is put new boots on it and replaced the rear discs and pads,not bad for age.

Hi i'm in the middle of changing my rear discs/rotors and can not pull the old discs off as the handbrake shoes are stuck,i have released the handbrake and that should have freed the discs enough to remove them, however they are not coming off, do i have to wind the shoes back, and if so where is th...

Thanks for all your help i think the car is worth spending on,as i plan to keep it for 5 yrs and everything else is fine .I plan to take it to France next year so i want it running Tip Top .

Did you notice a big difference in the gear changes afterwards?

I have recently bought a Volvo v70 2005 model with 50,000 miles on it .I have noticed that some of the gear changes are not as smooth as they could be.when slowing down for a roundabout and with the car still rolling i put my foot down slowly and it,s as if it cann't find the gear it wants, but then...
