Hi People,

I picked up my S60, T5 yesterday from the dealers, and i've a couple of points/comments.

The car i traded in was a 3.0 S type jaguar, and i have to say the S60 is proving to be a far better car (and that's after only 24 hours!) The ride is some what firmer than the jaguar, and it's taking me a little lomger than i expected to get used to using a clutch/gears again I'm taking it easy with the engine for the first 1,000 miles or so (my choice) and i guess that's good for me as on more than one occasion i've changed up from 5th, right into 4th!! [sm=sigh.gif]

Even with taking it easy, i can tell that this car is going to imense fun to drive... But, one thing is bugging me... those crazy lights!!

I turn the ignition on, and i have dipped lights, so i have to change to side lights, and it's far, far to easy to forget them and leave those switched on when leaving the car...

I could live with side lights on with the ignition being switched on (they'd then go off when i switched the ignition off, i'd assume) but why oh why go straight to dipped lights?!?!? So, my question is, how do i either change to side lights only, or, just to what the light switch shows, i.e. OFF when OFF, no matter what time of day it is!

 

Welcome to the forum and congradulations on your new S60.

 

I hate to sound dumb, but I guess dipped lights are the DRL's?

I do agree, why no chime when the parking lights are left on?

If it bothers u that much, u might just want to take the headlight DRL's out. But a dealer might put new ones in and charge u if u took it in for service. And remember, no matter what setting the headlights are on, the tailights are on all the time.

 

I've just collect mine about a month ago and have been enjoying it.

Noticed some lag if I were to compare with my other car 854T5 with 16T turbine but overall it is a nice car.

So far already been thinkin to upgrade the suspension coz it 'floats' especially during high-speed. Fastest I've taken it for a ride was at 250KM/hour and surprise that actually it wat not that easy for a 'standard' S60T5 to reach even 240km/hour.

Anyhting I should explore to increase the power a little bit. Bigger intercooler? Better air filter e.g K&N? Bigger exhaust pipe? ?????
