Final update for today - install new windcreen wipers (as the wet weather today really showed up how bad the existing ones were.

Fitted Bosch all round - how easy was that :-)

Created a Volvo ID whilst in the car and tested it out back in the office - I can now sent map locations from a PC to the car - Result :-)

Another photo, this time from a modified car meet, in the dark (I think it needs a clean):

A few little niggles...

Discovered the rear off-side door does not lock properly (the lock button appears to go down then pops back up again. Will have to take the door card off and have a look. Hopefully a dry connection of a bit of resistance, otherwise I'll be looking for a replacement solonoid.

Filled the washer bottle up and noticed the bonnet, when closed, still has some movement. Should be able to fix this by fiddling with the rubber bonnet stops (job for the weekend I think)

FIXED - adjusted/cleaned the windscreen washer jets - I know have 6 jets hitting the winscreen wiper sweep ;-)

The centre consol 12v sockets don't work - I'm hoping this is just a fuse (No.22 I believe) - another job for the weekend when I'm in my scruffs.

Fuse replaced and all is well (although I have'nt put any proper load through it yet) - at least I can charge my phone :-)

Had a sort out in the boot area - all by "crap" is now stored beneath the floor - much neater.

Also replaced a missing tyre valve cap.

A bit of a wash tomorrow, then some stickers, then I'm off out with the camera.

Hi
First post.
Bought a 66 plate XC60 SE Lux nav 2.4 D5 yesterday. SE Lux cos I’m old and wanted a softer ride than the sports suspension of the R design. Had a few Volvos before but looking forward to picking it up in a few days.

Trugga, have you got any tips for someone wanting to try a bit of car photography? Just looking at static right now. I’ve plenty of experience with racing cars and landscapes, but beyond a nice background, and nothing else in the shot (people/cars) and light sourced from the right direction I’m not really sure where to start? thanks
