Re: s60 passenger door/window fault/mirror fault

coming and going sounds like a short that finally had it. Check wires in door hinged side inside the plastic protector. All the other windows work? If so it could be the switch itself.

Re: Drove through large puddle now wont start???

If no garage and heater try light bulbs. A 65 watt keeps my car warm when it gets a really cold wind chill in Chicago. Just be careful if its still raining. Electricity and water don't mix well. GL

Re: s60 passenger door/window fault/mirror fault

Does it work from the drivers master switch?
Did you check fuses?
Did you remove door panel and inspect plugs?
You might check the wires that go from car to door (by hinge) to see if broken.
Need more information.

Re: Detailing???

For those I use swirl remover or a light rubbing compound being very careful not to further scratch. McGuire's has a number of different compounds depending on the severity of the scratches. Go to their web site to learn more. I do not work for them nor sell their products - I just use them

Re: Detailing???

I agree with zhenya depends on what you want your car to look like. Personally I wax (cleaner wax and carnuba wax) the exterior every other month, and do the interior twice a year (does not include weekly vacuuming and washing). The Carnuba wax only enhances what you arleady have - if you have a ...

Re: Detailing???

Personally and IMHO I use McGuires Leather Cleaner and Leather Protector on the interior. It is a two step process I consider to be as good as or better than Volvo's Cleaner and Protector which was used first 2 times. It is cheaper too. My exterior plastic was painted - so wax. My new 2007 V50 has a ...

Re: A note about the recent frustrating downtime

Hey Matt hang in there.
I would not worry about the downtime. We (the members) can handle it as long as you don't give up. Most people should understand the complexities of running a site of this high caliber. We should all understand all the bugs and problems associated with a "new" site. I applaud ...
