Re: Hill Hold Question

Hi Alan,

From memory, if you pull up on a hill, foot on brake, in gear clutch depressed. When you take foot off brake it holds you for a couple of seconds. Will roll back after this time!!

Re: Spare key for free!

Hi Alan, I never got to see the V5 which might explain why I was getting taxed based on it being a 'R'!! Still causing me issues with the tax man now!! Might be an idea to tell DVLA to put the record straight. Hope you enjoy it. Wish I still had, though I'm pleased with the Volvo, makes a nice noise...

Re: Spare key for free!

I'll send an e-mail to you when I post them. Hopefully Saturday. Hope you enjoy the car. I certainly did. I took the factory option to de-badge it. Think it looks cleaner/meaner!! Car is a manual 6 speed box. Did not get any options to keep the tax man away!! Had no problems with it. Had vibrating n...

Congratulations. You are the lucky winner of a brand new key. Hope 'they' took care of the car prior to you buying it.

I don't seem able to contact you! I'm in Rugby. Are you in the area? failing that PM me your address and I'll post it to you.

Regards Andy.

Re: Removal of residue from heated rear window

Thanks for the reply. Dealer is 300 mile round trip due to being a company car so a bit of a pain (could be a nice runout though). I did wonder if applying a small amount of heat might make it easier to peel. Just don't want to end up with a black sticky mess (or worse!!).
