Default 2014 T3, Which coolant?

Halfords states Refer to manual, Manual states Refer to packaging?
Currently blue coolant but level has dropped to just below min level marker.
Or just top up with distilled water?

Yes.
Unless you have a significant loss which would need a proper remedy anyway, do the above and regularly monitor the level on a stone cold engine to check for further losses.

9 years of service for £1500 so far so I can understand why you liked it so much.

That's great Simon.

Any other Volvo's tickle your fancy? Or, just keep your one going for as long as possible?

The intention was to have the S60 for 6 months max but then I only went and enjoyed everything about it so it's a keeper. If I'd known that, I'd have bought a prettier one as it's not the best cosmetically.

Always liked the XC90 but the repairs come around quite a bit quicker than the S60.
More complication with AWD and lots of things are just that bit more money for minimal advantage for my situation so never justified having one long term.

I like most Volvos but the only other Volvos I've wanted to own for a long time are a P2 V70 Facelift Euro 3 D5 or T5 or an original C70 coupe or cabriolet or a 760 Bertone Coupe.

Other than Tesla, I don't "get" new cars.
