Car mats arrived today and gave the interior a blast. Applied anti fog to the interior windows too (never used the product before so will be interesting to see if it works)
 
Got a slight issue with my drivers side bulb. I can't seem to get the bulb to the correct height.

Any tips?

Tried this for the first time on top of my wax, beads are much tighter

So the dealership who I bought the car from (a volvo garage) have said they really want to rectify the poor alloy refurb however all I want is a refund. They have now said they will collect the car (pay for petrol) and let me have a Volvo for the time period it takes. Would you let someone drive your car? Would you accept this offer or would after their poor quality refuse?

Hi mate, i would give them the chance since they seem keen to rectify/ and keep you happy. If your not happy 2nd time round then demand a refund, dont think after you complaining to them they would accept anything like the prevoius job again!!
 
Question though. Which Volvo would you ask for? V40 R? XC60? S60 R?

V60 Polestar :wink: Or one of the BTCC 850 estate cars from the 90s :smiley: though I think that'll be pushing your luck....!

Seriously though, I agree with Chris: give them a chance to rectify it. They would be incredibly stupid to mess it up the second time around, or damage your car in the process. It's not costing you anything and you have nothing to lose really.
 
Hey all,


So after another 5weeks of being messed around by the dealership they wish to take the car back instead of rectifying their damages.

I don't have access to the for sale section but I upgraded the stereo to a Kenwood kdc bt73dab with aerial, steering wheel wiring, facia adapter if anyone is interested
