Hey Guys.

I have just bought my first volvo and all of a sudden I have an unrelenting urge to drive around mid daylight with my headlights on, I have also found myself seriously looking at golf pants to buy. :oops:. But the car is great.

The car is an Automatic 1995 Volvo 850SE WITH 180000km on the clock I only had one concern which after searching the forums found the solution. (sometimes Id start the car and blinkers wouldnt work)

The driver is a 24 year old male (quite young for the volvo driver Im told) who lives in Sydney Australia.

Great forum cant wait to get involved.

I have been scouring the net for some upgrades I can make. and was thinking after a complete service to upgrade the exaust system and airfilter.

Does anyone here live in Sydney have any recomendations as to who I should employ to firstly give my car a complete servers and then secondly do the upgrades I want.

Thanks in advance for all your patience and helpful replies

Stay away from ugly golf pants....but in all seriousness, Welcome to the board! You'll find a lot of help here. Don't know much about aftermarket stuff in Australia. You might try getting with other 850 enthusiasts over there. This might help you....it's an Aussie board:
