• Volvo XC90 - I could really do with some advice on my Volvo d5 30 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  I could really do with some advice. I purchased a 2008 xc90 d5 auto 110000 on the clock about 5 months ago. All been fine. Last month on a journey it started randomly stalling, before dying on me. Would then crank but not fire no matter what. Rac towed to my usual garage. When they got around
• Mercedes-Benz GLC - buying a new RHD car more cheaply abroad 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  Does anyone have any suggestions as to whether it's possible to buy a new right hand drive Merc abroad and make a saving on the UK price. Some years ago I bought a new Volovo xc90 in Holland at a fair saving over the equivalent UK price

• All - Engine size 9 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  I had a Volvo XC90 as a loan car and was surprised that the engine was only a 2 litres diesel. For such a big car it went quite well. Lots of large cars seem to have smallish engines, Merc E class 220 for example, one I had a ride in had 335k on the clock so it's lasted well. So for the average

• New diesel tips please 21 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Next week I'm going to be picking up the new family transport, a Volvo XC90 diesel. This will be the first diesel car I've owned. Apart from boring SWMBO to death with pleas about not forgetting this when filling the tank, what else should I know about owning, driving and running a diesel car
• Volvo XC90 (2002 - ) - Sold the Outback! 2 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I can't quite believe I have done this.... It's not the fact that I have bought a car blind (I did that with the Outback and I was very happy) but that I have actually swapped the Outback for a Volvo XC90 D5 SE. Last weekend was a bit of a last straw moment. We went out with the children
• Which car to go for? 8 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  for the school run and commute. We have been driving a XC90, which we bought new and loved, but won't be bringing back to the UK. We can't decide which car to go for and whether to buy new or used.

• I never knew that about Volvos 28 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I'm talking about model numbers. Did you know even numbers are saloons and odd numbers are hatchbacks/estates? So a C30 is a hatch, an S40 a saloon, a V50 an estate, an S60 a saloon, a V70 an estate, an S80 a big saloon and an XC90 a big estate. So what's a 99? An ice cream with a flake
• Volvo XC90 (2002 - ) - I'm getting used to it! 9 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I have had the Volvo XC90 just under two weeks and have driven about 700 miles which for me is a lot. I am slowly getting to grips with it and in fact most of the issues I now have with it are down to the poor preparation by the supplying Volvo dealer. Like all diesel automatics, it need to wake

• Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 2004 D5 Axle Ping 2 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Can anyone advise me of how i can erradicate an intermittent clunk sound from the front suspension. Other forums suggest replacing the drive shaft bolts with the XC90 ones as they have a rubber gromitt which minimise the vibration/noise. However, my local Volvo dealer argues
• Engine/water clearly don't mix 25 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Hit a deep puddle yesterday in my XC90, causing a bow wave of water over the car and clearly into the engine bay. A few seconds later the engine got sluggish and a 'Service needed' warning came up on the instrument panel. I stopped a mile or so up the road, let the engine idle, then switched it off
