Heard a scraping noise from rear right so touched the wheel to feel it was rather hot! Pulled it all apart and found the pads were completely eaten and piston very stiff in the caliper.

So new pads and discs on the back end and new caliper slapped on top. Along with new pins of course

No more hot wheels.

Plugged a £20 obd reader in, used a £30 android app, programmed the BMW for all the hidden options and tweaks to my hearts content.
No more super expensive add-ons to get mirrors to fold when you lock the car, not really missing the Volvo right now

Interesting that so much water could leak in from a failed speaker seal. I wonder, did you also check the drain holes in the bottom of the door?

As you've noted, the window "seals" are never going to provide a perfect solution & the inside of the door is designed to tolerate water ingress and direct it to the bottom of the door shell from where it's meant to drain, hence the membrane layer between the door shell and door card to keep moisture away from the fibre board of the door card.

With that much water (unless the weather has been really serious) I'd expect to find the drain holes at least partially blocked.

I have tested the front and rear drain holes with a water hose indeed, clear and nicely working

But you are correct about the amount of water - the foam under the carpet started to stink which is what caught my attention in the first place. The water was accumulating there for many weeks for sure, plus we had some heavy rains this season. I also had a rubber winter mat there which hid all the water underneath while staying perfectly dry on top of the carpets. Trouble with this is we almost never are aware there is water accumulating under that carpet for some reason. I bet if all Volvo owners lifted the front carpets, at least one third of them will find the area soaked.

Mine has been working hard... mid house move so it's done numerous 150 mile trips whilst the rip out and renovate continues and thus far has dragged several white goods, rubble, half a kitchen and the contents of a shed to the skip and has survived trial by farm tracks, Edinburgh rush hours and Storm Ali and it's starting to look like it now too both inside and out. Cheaper than hiring a van though!

Having had an advisory of a rear drop link back in January, I was fearing the worst as I investigated a very regular clonk from the NSR of my V70 that appeared a few days ago.

Fished out the drinks bottle from the passenger seat rail and bingo bongo, instant fix.

fixed drivers door window system, found out whom ever replaced it in the past has used nuts and bolts to fix it back on, no lock washers etc,

trying to find out the part number for the Auto box ECU, the label has faded into nothing AARRRRRRR

the idea being a newer ECU should have the updated software to stop the clunking, not sure but maybe worth a try??

Are you talking about when shifting? - if so, try a partial transmission dump and add a bottle of Lubeguard Red:
