Why the website....

This is an area that always raises a lot of questions and very often overlooked when attempting to get information to your intended website. Now you see the how the information has been collated, which has put most of the relevant, if not all, the information out on this website.

In this particular case this website is effectively acting as sort sort of single source for FAQ (frequently asked questions) on problems experienced with the Volvo V70. Not only is this very helpful and easier to manage but because it provides instant answers to their "frequently asked" questions, but it also saves considerable time in not having to answer a string of e-mails, phone calls, Twitter tweets, Facebook and YouTube updates and so forth. For example, new information has suddenly become available concerning the car and this can be put on website to share -- it's that easy!

Hope you enjoy reading as much as we have putting it all together.

Welcome back

Welcome back to our slightly redesigned and updated website and we hope you find it more aesthetically pleasing and easier to navigate once all the pages are linked. We are also in process of updating all the pages but that will take some time, so please bear with us. Sometime in the future we hope to add new features such as a moderated user comments section and a vote panel. Please be assured that we are working diligently as possible to avoid mistakes though in the event of mistake being identified we will be happy to make corrections.

No speedos....

This was one of the typical long standing faults with the Volvo V70 since October 2008. There were no warning signs or indications that this problem was going to occur on any occasion. You're casually driving along, be it night or day, morning, afternoon or evening and at any speed; suddenly the whole of the dashboard cuts out. No speedometer, revolution counter, fuel gauge, temp gauge, indicators, dash board lights, nothing to show that you're driving the car except for the rumble of tyres and the passing scenery. On frequent occasions other items such as, but not limited to, the windows, central locking, immobiliser alarm and internal & external lights would behave irrationally when attempting to operate them in the normal course of the using car.
