Re: Panic - tailgate wouldn't close.

Unfortunately the wd40 trick did not cure it and th rh one became very noisy. The dealer replaced them last week and volvo contributed 70%.

Re: Sensus Map 1380 now available...

I like the fact it does updates sat outside my house connected to the house wifi. I have stopped using the USB method and don't see the point of a SIM when I have a phone.
