No, I just joined the Hadex club though.
I was just thinking maybe I should have kept my RR but I was seduced by things like a heater, windscreen wipers, starter motor, auto adjusting ignition, service interval longer than 3000 miles with weely greasing of the nipples, an auto box rather one without syncromesh on any of the three gears, discs all round. Power steering, Not much to go wrong though. Oh... and 12 mpg if you were easy on the throttle. Roy

Thanks for your replies.
Another question:I note that the XC60 is made in Belgium-is there any discernible difference in production quality between cars produced in Volvo's facilities in Belgium and Sweden? Vince. |

The XC60 is now almost 3 months old and have had only two problems:- I am getting the display modual replaced on Monday, as it is temperature sensitive - does not like temperatures below 4C. The loose battery connection has been the other problem. tem. |
