Potentially buying another Volvo
 

Had a look at a few xc90’s recently and seen one last night we liked. It’s really for the mrs ( thinking of a family soon so selling her focus for a bigger car and the xc90 will be more than enough)

Few questions....
The wing mirrors don’t fold in and you can’t change the angle of the glass from the control on the drivers door.
Never had a chance to check the blis out, it did light up though/ is there any known problems with that?
The drivers seat plastic that’s around the controls to move it is all burst, are they easy and cheap enough to buy from Volvo?

Had a look at the rear shocks, engine pads, CD player and reverse sensors and they all work and from what I’ve read they are common on going faulty.

Never had a chance to check the blis out, it did light up though/ is there any known problems with that? - if you have Blis the mirrors should fold (button on the lower switch panel.)
The drivers seat plastic that’s around the controls to move it is all burst, are they easy and cheap enough to buy from Volvo? - approx £20'ish from Volvo and 10 mins to change

Failing Nivomats is not that common I believe, engine mounts is wear and tear, and the reverse sensors have various service advisories, so check they have been done. Also knowing what year, and model + engine would be helpful when asking questions. :natur008:

I second the comments made previously.
Also check ebay for plastic trim on seats - proper Volvo parts available slightly cheaper and you can get extra discount if you buy both sides, just check the colour first apparently 'oak' is not the same as 'beige'?

Sorry it’s a 2007 xc90 with the D5 engine.
I’ve tried switching side with the mirror so hopully a fuse.

Also with the CD player, numbers 1,2&3 aren’t illuminating.

It’s only black ones I can seem to find, it’s a beige one I’m after. Hopefully easy enough to track the part no or if Volvo sell it separate.

Black, they call it carbon I believe.

They never like making things easy lol
