Hi - My name is Ian. I live in NZ and I own a 2007 Volvo XC90 2.5 which fills me with joy at times but also frustrates me. Part of the frustration comes from the vehicle originating in Japan and therefore all dash messages are in Japanese. The Joy comes from a vehicle that may be a bit thirsty, but is lovely to drive and is great for the terrain around here (gravel roads and snow in winter)

I joined the forum in the hope that other members much wiser than I am can give me some advice that will tilt the balance futher towards the "joy" end of my Volvo ownership :-)
