    Low idle, takes while to start

    I've accepted I probably have to replace a fuel pump on the car, but also while I've owned the car it's always taken a while to start and often two attempts are needed. When it starts, it's shaky for a second as the revs are very low, in a second or two they rise to just under 600rpm where they...

    Whirring sound - a bit like a buzzer?

    When my car is idling, there is a loud whirring/humming sound almost like a hazard buzzer half way along the car (or so) on the driver's side. The car drives fine (fuel consumption is getting dire so taking it in for that Halfords 'Fuel Service Plus' soon (worked wonders on my old 124)) but that...

    62-regs out soon

    Received my usual Regtransfers junk, er, newsletter - so the 62 plates are out soon: Took me a while to work out what the words were even meant to stand for, I take it they somehow tricked themselves into thinking "62" looks like "GR" :crazy: The last one I don't even follow myself -...

    A1408003248

    There's a thread from one or two days ago on this but people tend to get flamed for hijacking threads. I am in need of a central locking pump, MB P/N A1408003248.

    A nasty surprise

    Did Volvo really do this? So you have quite a nice looking car according to photo 1, but then you see the interior. Is this Volvo's doing or a mod by someone with no taste? Anyone like the colour of the interior? 2005 Volvo C70 T | eBay
