Got a 12V socket fitted in the boot today. I know the loom is behind the panel, but as the car is under the Volvo Selekt warranty, I got them to do it. Any problems it is covered by them. Surprised the previous owner never got a boot socket installed or even Volvo having it as a standard feature.

Unhappy Windscreen smears with screenwash

Tried every windscreen cleaner on the market to clean windscreen on my 2015 s80 of smears. Eventually advised by professional valeter to fit new wiper blades. Fitted pair of Bosch blades and instantly cleared screen. Brilliant.
2 weeks later the smearing was back using ready mixed screen wash
( supermarket). Cleaned screen and wipers with Autoglym Fast Glass and screen clean again. Refilled washers with RAC screen wash and lo & behold screen smears again. I cannot understand why several ready mixed screen wash brands cause this or am I just jinxed.

It was standard until about 2014. That’s why there was a wiring in place already - too costly to change the loom it’s attached to.
You notice very subtle changes through the life of a model range. Things being added and things being removed, such as the pouches in the front edge of the front seats aren’t in my 2015 model.

Yeah strange one. My 2012 model had the socket. I guess perhaps they knew by then model was being phased out and little subtle reductions to save on production costs. I notice I have no front fog light switch now. Perhaps thats due to having LED 'fogs' in place that are the DRLs now.

Link not working.

Was thinking about tinting, I guess it's the inside that gets tinted?

New stickers on wheels, new gel moose on the front wings and S80 badge on the rear doors which I'm not sure about. Someone said would have been better on the rear quarter panel where the S80 executive badge goes.
