Default Hi Jas

Hi Jas
I've got SW diesel and now done 3K miles. It's growing on me all the time. I'm sure you'll be pleased too.

welcome!

you have a big advantage now, there seems to be a couple of weak spots you should pay attention to: bubbles on dashboard, rear shock noises, steering wheel noises, auto AC acting weird...

most of us don't have any issues, but every now and then there is a lemon, ask Robert23 (I think he got played by the dealer who knew the car isn't 100%)

and yeah, kickass color like on mine

Hi jas,

I know the feeling, I was also browsing the forum for the 2 months it took me to get mine delivered. Have had it for a bit over two weeks now and I am very happy with it.

I have actually not seen any of the problems discussed on the forum yet, but I am of course keeping a close eye on it. However I found a problem that I haven't heard of here:
The electronic window on the drivers side is not going up automatically anymore, I have to hold the button down. It was working when I got it and it is working on the other three windows so I will take it in and see what the dealer says.

But welcome and congratulations on your new car, I am not sure what color tempest grey is, is it a lighter grey? Mine is piston grey.

Tempest is the darker grey, so far no problems, the clutch is a joy as my old v40 needed both feet to press!!.

Electric speed sensitive steering takes a while to get use to, engine is really responsive, much quicker than the 1.8 petrol Volvo. Only issue is the cream coloured lower door panels/foot wells - don't know how I'm going to keep these clean.

just in the process of getting all the add ons, already got a boot liner, floor mats, dog boot liner, still to get a tow bar.
