  • 2007 Volvo XC90 D5 - Please Help with this Popping Noise 2 Jan 2022 (Forum)
    Hi, I'm getting this strange popping noise coming through the intake manifold in my 2007 XC90 D5 engine. I don't hear this noise when I open the oil filler cap- it only comes though air intake hose. Its really loud in cold start! Please watch these two YT videos

    I've just bought an '03 Xc90, and the third row of seats' seat-belts are frayed at points - doubtless owing to a dog chewing at them at some point. I am confident the webbing is not so compromised as to prevent it from restraining folk in the event of a sudden stop or worse, but am

  • Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 09-06-2018 Part 2 11 Jun 2018 (Forum)
    All this stuff about Volvo promoting that 'no-one in the UK has ever been killed in an XC90' is just their attempt to cover off the publicity around Uber using an XC90 during their autonomous vehicle trials in America and killing the cyclist. I'm confident in your mantras on most things, but I'm
  • Volvo XC90 (2002 - ) - 05 2.4 Superchips? 2 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    Right, I am about to by an XC90 D5. I was going to purchase the 2005 model as it's a little cheaper. However I understand that from '06 onwards a better D5 engine was used (185bhp). I hear that this got rid of the delay through the engine/transmission that can sometimes develop under harsh
  • Can you recommend a petrol car to tow a heavy caravan? 16 Sep 2020 (Ask HJ)

  • Volvo XC90 v Honda CRV 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)

  • The Top Gear Thread - Vol 13 12 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    A firm assertion on Top Gear tonight was that the story of Keith Moon driving a RR in a swimming pool was an urban myth. I hate to think that this act of rock 'n roll legend didn't happen. Inside knowledge, anyone? (By the way, credit to Clarkson for saying that the XC90 was a better family car

    I'm looking for a large SUV (just for the look of it) for our family of 5 which might need an extra seat occasionally, so a 7 seater with fold down seats at the back. Budget around £25k- I would pay the tax on its original list price. I really like the look of the Volvo XC90 and have heard very
