There was a time when it was unusual for a car to get anywhere near 100k due to rust or mechanical failure. Now it's no big deal. Do you remember when Volvo put the 6th digit on their odometer and u ... |

Michal 969 is quite correct in that my car does not have the stop start (don't like those systems anyway) so hopefully a normal battery (which I think the original is) should do the trick. The current ... |

Just replaced my switch, looking at how far back this problem goes, mine seems to have done well lasting not far short of 6 years. Must admit I paid dealer price for the switch (just over £29) but it ... |

Totally agree. I have used RCV for my last 2 services. They are only a few miles out of Tonbridge as well. At least pop along and have a chat with them next time and see what you think. |

I changed both front and rear pads myself at 36k. The rears had just about had it although the fronts would have soldiered on for a while. The discs had very slight lipping on them but nothing much. U ... |
