So, although it will hopefully be a while until I have to deal with winter weather, it's been in the back of my mind for a little while. I currently have a set of Genuine Volvo winter mats, and while they fit very nicely and are high quality, they don't perform as well as I'd like. Specifically ...

Hi, I just got a new-to-me S60, and the brakes were just replaced (pads and rotors) on all four corners by a shop a few weeks before I got it. Everything's good except I noticed a strange rust pattern on the right rear rotor. It's as if the pad is only making good contact with about 3/4 of the rotor ...

I also just opened up the fuse box, and in the auxiliary fuse box nothing is blown, but in the "Main Fuses" box, I blew a 50A fuse (fuse #2, going ...

I'm wondering if anybody has some insight into the problem I've been having for the past couple of weeks. Personally, I hate dealing with electrical problems, since they're tricky to diagnose and have a habit of disappearing when you're trying to replicate the problem...

Rain-X is amazing.

Damn... well at least I can still try the Rain-X!

Hi all, a while ago during a rainstorm I noticed my wipers were pretty slow, even at their fastest speed. I did some research and located the repair procedure here, at https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18502&start=14

Door lock actuator
Wheel bearing
front brake caliper (seized)
signal flasher relay
exhaust hanger brackets
centre console (broken inside-- I had to glue it back together)
power window switch

I'd kind of like to avoid buying a new (used) one if I could... But if there's no other option I think I'll have to order one from ebay or from Jim...

Here's a quick question for Jim/JRL: does that price include shipping to southern Ontario, Canada?
