Took me a while, but I remembered to pick up new bulbs the other day when I was getting a new dipped beam bulb anyway.

Neither side's light is working. I've checked for corrosion, but the bulb receptacles are both in excellent condition as far as I can see.

I assume there's some sort of switch ...

Cargo compartment lights out - fuse and bulbs seem fine

This is a weird one.

Both of the lights in the boot of my S60 are out. I removed one of them, and upon inspection, it appears to be okay. That is, the little filament in the bulb is still there, stretched across the inside of the bulb. I also checked the fuse, which is intact.

If nobody has any ...

I thought I should come back and tell you what the problem was, just to put some closure on this thread!

It turned out that in my case, at least, it was a wheel bearing. I got it changed (had to be the main dealer unfortunately, nowhere else was able to do it) and the noise disappeared.

The cost ...

Hi

The car is a 2003 S60, and it has 60,000 miles on the clock.

The noise doesn't change when I turn the steering wheel, the only thing that alters it is the speed I'm travelling at. It starts at about 40mph and is there at all speeds I've been at above that.

It's frustrating that Volvo don't ...

The noise is probably best described as a loud "whirring", which seems to be coming from the passenger-side front wheel.

It has got louder over the last couple of months, and although it doesn't seem to affect the performance of the car in any way, it is starting to get a bit worrying.

Excessive road noise

Hi all

My S60 has recently started to sound very noisy, and the sound seems to be linked to the speed of the wheels rather than what the engine is doing (i.e. revving the engine makes no difference, but the noise is still loud when slowing down and not touching the accelerator pedal).

Has anyone ...
