If you get 01-04 S60R dials they should work?
Mine is a 2002 V70, so I might try again, once I am out of furlough.

The final facelift ones look great lit up at night.

All white LEDs, indicator sound is different as well weirdly!

And now I've ordered some more new wheels 😂

As lovely as the ones I've put on it are, they're not Volvo ones and that upsets me more than it should, so they can be winter wheels and ill leave the Crossclimates on them, and the new Capella 18's will be summer wheels, 4 Goodyear Eagle F1s ordered in 235 40 18 ready to fit once they're here*

Noticed the rear bumper had dropped about a centimetre. Looked at a RobertDIY vid on YT. It said to release the three pop rivets on each mud flap and undo the bolts... I just released the pop rivet and gave it a gentle tug and this happened.

Rusty brackets ? Well they were non existent, lol.

Got around to fitting a towbar to the V70 last night along with a manual darkening rear view mirror, as the auto one has not worked since I got the car at the start of the year.

Just need to wire up the towbar electrics tonight.

Is that genuine or aftermarket, I found a genuine at a local breakers, well actually I found two, one on an s60 and one in a v70 like yours, I think the s60 one might have been held because its been sold and I'm guessing the v70 one won't mate up to an s60 body.

The towbar is a bosal based on the plate holding the trailer lighting socket on.

The rear view mirror is genuine volvo, made by donnelly in Ireland, same manufacturer as the auto dimming mirror.

The mirror is the upper electronic module and is programmed to your car alone. You can't just swap for it a used one as it is an integral part of the remote central locking and alarm systems - your original fobs won't work - the only thing you can swop around is the mirror glass itself.

That would make sense why the key fobs stopped working...

I'll swap the glass around sometime soon.
