Absolutely ! Although it'll just be nice to get back into a Volvo The seats, the build quality - and the great community of course

Despite my choice of chariots, I don't drive like a lunatic. I'm actually a steady and (I'd like to think) smooth driver - I used to drive ambulances a couple of decades ago. I just like the extra power to overtake rapidly, plus the better brakes just in case they're needed. The Police spec pads have great initial bite and rarely fade, which is what makes them so reassuring. I've seen EBC pads, so I might be fitting them if I can't find a Police spec pad set.

Interesting that you mentioned the Garmin mount - the salesman said it was a genuine Volvo option back in the day but I didn't believe him as I've seen the integrated sat-nav... so thanks for clarifying that - I'll have to apologise to him when I collect the car!
