Will look into what you say.

Any other tips?
Mines a manual and I tow with it. Gearbox oil is changed every 2 years, and power steering fluid. Coolant is checked every year, while its antifreeze qualities do not lessen I find it discolour as the corrosion inhibitor die, the Ford stuff is nowhere near as good as the original volvo coolant was..
