tis OK the R and the AWD badges are in the lovely R owners folder

HE HE wondering if they will stay there......pics on the R T5 register thread

But no Owners Manual sob sob sob

The first 320 miles of the trip back to Sunny Motherwell completed HE HE had a wee diversion and we stopped at Blackpool. All running on LPG and running very sweetly and with great MPG as well and at a 50% reduction on the cost of petrol - amazing.

One thing though, well two, the turning circle is abysmal much worse than my classic V70....and the car drives and feels much 'bigger' than the classic V70 OR 850 as well.

Same as us, hoping to resolve that via either ebay or Volvo themselves though (I'll just tell the sat nav to point us at the nearest stealership!)
