I used to mainly leave the SIM in the car. Somebody once told me I could have asked Orange to provide me with an extra SIM for the car, but I didn't bother to pursue the idea. Then when bluetooth became more popular and everybody started going around with blue flashing things in their ears like Uhura I switched to one of those. In the last 3 years I don't think I used it once. I did become a bit of a horder of bluetooth earpieces tho ... and now of course I don't need any of them. |

Saab 93 Vector sport 150 - Great for 90,000 odd miles (end of warranty) then all hell breaks loose - 2 friends have had exactly the same with the water pump bearing going, the belt slips and bu*gers the top end.

X-Trail Sport 2.2DCi 136 bhp -was better than my FL1 - though the styling was an 'acquired' taste. Like many others, it blew it's turbo, so never felt 100% happy with it afterwards. Was GS TD4 Auto, Privacy, Santorini with Tundra & Alpaca, Cold Climate Pack. Traded for Discovery Sport HSE Auto. |

Seems that all cars have a taste to develope problems as soon as the warranty ends. Or is it that the dears just find it difficult to tackle warranty issueses with the manufacturer if the car is so close to end warranty ? To be honest I have to admitt that a dealer's job is not so easy as he has to satisfy two completly different worlds - and he earns money from both worlds (maybe more from the manufacturer. More often than not a dealer will be on the car manufacturer's part. Which is sad but as we choosed the FL2 we hopefully expect not so many problems.

That was probably the best VW engine, better than the 140bhp that took its place I got 110bhp Golf when the mk4 golf first came out, I got the first 3dr one to arrive in Harrogate and compared to all the diesel I had driven before it was a rocket-ship At work At home "I can't always believe facts I read on the web" - Charles Dickens winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race |

Yeah it was quick through the gears, good top speed, and pretty frugal.

We've still got that same SIM card system in our '05 V70. We've dedicated a SIM card to the car and leave it plugged in - it has its own number simply known by friends/family as the car's phone number though it's really just for external calls. Like you we went for all the toys; Sat. Nav, built-in phone, digital TV, full leather, Dolby Digital sound system, 17" alloys etc... Combine it with the luxury of the comfortable interior (voted #1 most comfortable car in UK) and the performance of the turbo T5 engine (same engine used in the Focus ST - 0-60 in 6.4 secs) and it makes a pretty decent machine. Volvos have always retained the same sort of image/style so we plan on keeping it for a while, no no real need to change it. "CY from DISCO3" Discovery 3 TDV6 SE |
