I bought a 2000 V40 turbo wagon 2 weeks ago. I have never owned a Volvo before. Actually I don't think I can remember ever riding in one. Another first for me is this being a wagon. Boy, I have been missing out. Wagon's are amazing!

I am enjoying the car. It has some cool features for being 15 years old. The top two are the sport and winter driving modes, & built-in child booster seats.

What is up with all the fasteners that require a tork head driver? Is this a German thing or a Volvo thing?

I have already had to do a brake job on the rear wheels. I was impressed with how easy it was to take it apart and put it all back together. The only hitch was that the retaining screw was rusted onto one of the rotors so I ended up stripping out the socket head. I was back in business after drilling the head off with an oversized drill bit and buying new M6x1.0 12mm hex socket screws.
