I'm told it is a 'regular point' for the dreaded tin-worm to attack.

Anyway, some pics - just so you can see where. Mine is 21yrs old & on 193k. Maybe worth checking yours if of similar age/mileage...........

My 240 has been welded one time. This was due to a 10p piece sized hole in the floor pan under the front passenger seat. It was found by the MOT tester here 5 years or so ago, & was only an advisory.

Comes with In-Line Error Cancellers to ensure compatibility with smart Volvo On-Board Computers. I've used the kit on my S40 for a year now with no issues at all. Provides great visibility and looks really good.

Recently i have noticed that my alarm doesn't seem to work when i lock the car with the fob then the indicators flash as they should and the doors all lock but i locked a friend in the car one day by accident (only for 5 mins whilke i nipped into a shop) but wheni came out the indicators were flashing as if the alarm was going off but no sirens :S checked all the connections and they are sound and its only been like this for the past 2 weeks say and its not as if i washed the engine bay recently either.

the other problem that i have is the immbolizer light on the dash stays on continuisly. hasn't effected the car's ability to start but the light is annoying and i know i could just take the bulb out but i'd rather fix the problem than just hide it. i have read some of the forums and some say that a faulty immbolizer can affect your mpg ( mine is currently sat at 27.4 and thats with motorway driving) and i have noticed that she is smoking a wee bit and just wondering if it was linked in anyway.

i took my car in't my local volvo dealer to have diagonsics but they cam back clear and my volvo dealer is pretty rub bish at doing anything right.

any help or comments towards these problems would be much appreciated. ]]> cjmcgrath http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=89810 S60 Electrics: - Centre Console Switch Illumination http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=89809&goto=newpost Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:26:52 GMT The night time illumination of the STC switch on the centre console of my S60 has packed up.

I followed the laser cleaning process on the forum but this made little difference, my laptop can read the dvd's no problem, so the information is clearly there. Through the forum I met up with a guy who had a 2009 disc (31285852), essentially to test if my dvd player was working, to my surprise the satnav worked fine.

However, I believe in the process of starting the system with the 2009 disc may have updated software and now no pre 2009 dvds will work.

I have had a couple of copies made of my 2006 dvd, in case the originals were scratched, but these will not work either.

Essentially I am wondering if there is a re-boot or rollback for the satnav, has any one any experience of this.

The dealer just wants to sell me a £200.00 set of discs, which I would sooner avoid if there is a fix to be done.

It doesn't seem right that by testing a new version you ruin the existing system.

Any advice or thoughts would be welcome.

Under hard acceleration in 1st or 2nd gear, she pulls to one side a fair bit. I can hold her straight but it is like torque steer, except that that's a trait of front wheel drive motors.

Is something wrong do we think, or is it just that maybe one back tyre has more air in that the other, or one has better grip than the other?

Having owned a couple of 2 seater convertibles in the past, I'm aware of the seasonal variations that come with some cars (Soft tops = sell in spring, buy in autumn).

Can the same be said of the 4x4 market? With the recent bad weather, am I looking at the wrong time? Are prices likely to dip a bit in spring when people are forgetting the woes of getting stuck in the snow at xmas?

It used to be about a 10% shift with the soft tops, which is handy on a £5k MG, but makes a much bigger difference on a £15k XC90.
