We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:
Found a torrent of the Australian BroadCorpo 2005 re-run of the event,
which was probably the closest in spirit and size to the original event.

Black/Navy/Grey cars with cream/beige/tan/white leather.
Why is it so difficult to find a nice black car with nice black leather?
The closest I've found where grey leather in the dark grey Lex, and
Black leather in the dark green Saab, you rarely find sexy black on
black anywhere.

Hi Folks,
It looks as if I'll have the V70 in my care for a while, and it's
servicing time, so it looks a if I need to catch up with the century
and get myself an OBDII scanner. Anyone got any recommendations or
warnings? Would a thirty quid one from eBay (200261153084) be OK? A
twenty quid one (270285521482)?

A long time ago I seem to recall reading an article which stated that LPG
took far more energy to refine, transport and store as a useable vehicle
fuel than petrol or diesel. Coupled with it's lower energy density than
petrol or diesel which can result in a higher comparable fuel consumption,
the article indicated that although using LPG improved air quality it

To save a bit of money on fuel, I have bought an old Cleo Diesel. I

it depends on what fuel pump you have? How can I tell? What fuels

I have been offered a 1999 V70 diesel estate for Practically Nothing.
I took it on a jaunt to Cornwall last week and it was very nice to

which was pretty straightforward, but I suspect that the V70 is
significantly more complicated.
Any experiences or advice?
