I purchased a 2003 S60 T5 AWD about a month ago in upstate/central New York from a small dealer/mechanic shop:
-2.5L Turbo Automatic 5-speed with Tiptronic & Premium/Leather Interior
-106,000 miles

I love it so far, just a few issues so far...ever since I got the car, its' LCD screens (mostly the "message" screen, but also the odometer/trip-counter screen & the gear/temperature screen) do not work properly about half the time. Sometimes they come on fine as soon as I start the car or sometimes none of them come on at ignition and they may or may not come back on (fully) while being on or driving. It is probably a loose connection or so I hope. Sometimes the LCDs will even come on after a love-tap above the drivers' side dash.

Also I was fortunate enough the other day to experience the infamous "Volvo rain screech" while driving during a heavy thunderstorm. From what I gather there is a bracket or something that can be added to prevent this from happening? Is this possible to be done yourself or does it need to be done by a dealer?

LOVE the S60 besides those minor issues though!!

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Welcome to the forum. Have never had the screech you're talking about. Volvo's are notorious for electrical quirks. Could be a loose connection or a failing computer.
