Sometimes I can't be bothered to start up my cars when I need to move them a little on the driveway so I'll just unlock, open, drop the handbrake and push them by hand a few feet. This is generally easy for the cars that might be on the drive: Golf, Clio, Qashqai, but the C30? It requires all my effort to move it just a little, but why?? 
I previously had a 4WD Audi that was really tough to move but figured that was down to the two diffs/4WD, but no such stuff on the Volvo. I have no symptoms of a sticky caliper but with new front calipers to go on imminently I'll get the rears checked out, but just wondered if anyone had any ideas? |
Low tyre pressures , try the eco setting and you will realise how much extra power is needed to move the car with low tyre pressures! a C30 should be easy to push on a flat floor . it's worth jacking it up and making sure the wheels spin freely too .
