Hi all,

Collected (new to me) Volvo V70 geartronic 2009, few little niggles to sort:

1. Front and rear (and headlamp, though not bothered about these) screen wash not working, I can hear the relay click and the 15A fuse in the footwell is okay. I have read they are easy to replace, before I dive in, is it two pumps (front and rear) or a single pump?

2. Slight knock from near side front suspension.... will take to garage to find out what the issue is there (hopefully a track rod end or drop link, though lower wishbone isn’t too expensive...). Shocker looks okay and strut top seems sound.

3. Bonnet shut is uneven, sits slightly higher on near side.... are the catches easy to get to and adjust or just leave it. Everything is straight on front of car, I can push the bonnet on the near side down to match the offside. The offside is solid and doesn’t push down any further...

Other than those niggles, for a 170k mile car she goes great, stops great and sounds great.

Cheers,

S.
