What ovlov do you have? Lovely motors they are, the s80 was the second best car ( the RRS being best ) we have had. A mate of mine is orgonising some record breaker for volvos soon, 600 of them on a track or something.

Very nice car, I always wanted the 4x4 but they are like hens teeth.

I must admit with the RRS I was delighted how much luxury it had..... but I miss his and her keys that set the seat upon door opening that volvo had

You can do that with RRS I read it in the handbook for my 2005, the memory seats system is Volvo parts as they owned LR at that time. I’ve not played with it on mine as I still only have one key 😬 another one of the £100 jobs to do.

Still see a few all wheel drive R’s for sale not many still have the rear wheels connected mind you, the market has been flooded by low mileage Jap imports recently though. Steve

Mines a 13 plate but I'll look into it. Height of laziness not pressing a button I know 🤣

Volvo never owned Land Rover. Both were owned by Ford for a while and that's why there were shared parts back in the day.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Very sorry my bad 😕 your quite correct……….as usual 😁 Steve

Rears completed today, bit of rust preparation required on the back plates. Handbrake shoes and fittings all good.



Copper slipped the contact points on the shoes and adjusted as per Bodsys excellent guide just need to road test and bed the handbrake shoes. Good job I purchased the adjustment hole plugs as they were missing.
