• Car wont start

• After checking dozens of fuses I found a bad 5A fuse in the glove compartment panel labeled ‘telematics’ which strangely prevented the engine from cranking.
  
  This panel got wet leading to the wi ...

• Car wont start

• Battery ground is good. I tried jumping just in case.
  The dash lights up, steering wheel and seat self adjusts, headlight light but no sound from the engine.
  
  Checking fuses now but no luck.

• Leaking windshield, again

• I’m not sure an XC90 is the answer to replace your Discovery. I’ve had a 1999 S70 with the new AWD option. Perhaps the bugs weren’t worked out because I had to replace the converter box, at grea ...

• Snow tyres / best sized wheels???

• Nokian Hakkapeliita winter tires on 20” for a year now have worked great for me.

• I’ve had 2 Volvos, an S70 and 2006 XC90. Both had transmission and alternator failures.
