  1. Have you checked maxidot settings to see if the auto close feature is enabled?
  2. I don't know you but sorry to hear of your accident and wish you all the best ☺️ The xc90 seems a lovely big beast of a motor
  3. And I guess that's the point where you can flip a coin or say sod it. You could for example say, if you don't pay out the £400 ish for belt n pump then you may last another year or two at least. Else if the belt goes it's not much of a value loss between scrapping for parts or big spend now to get your money back later. If that makes sense. Even more so on what may be a second car demoted to irregular use. As an example, my old Peugeot I put in for belt change, they didn't complete the job and said it would of been X amount if I really wanted it doing. I decided I could probably get a replacement engine for the same price roughly and as it was a second car I'll chance it. Approx 9 years and about 80k miles later it was still going strong when I got rid of the car at 215k miles on the clock. Another of my old cars, audi s6, I decided the cost if it went was not worth the risk so had it changed on schedule. It is a chance you take but sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not
  4. Sounds excessive My loom was about £120ish plus labour, not sure how much that was as mechanic was doing a service, rear hub and abs sensor all together.
  5. Nicely done, hopefully keep you going for a while
  6. Sounds like a very common door wiring loom issue. Try a search as there are plenty of threads already. Sorry, I'm on my mobile and the search options are not as good
  7. It would almost certainly of been from removing the stereo surround, there is a cable for a bulb in the surround for the passenger air bag light. If you disconnected this with the ignition on it throws up the air bag warning light. Simple reset will be fine
  8. Mine was the rear hubs breaking up too, 160k miles on the clock. First one side followed shortly after by the other side. Can't help with the readings on the sensor though
  9. I think the navigation volume is how loud the instructions are The other one that i can't remember it's name (music/audio) is how low it does or doesn't drop the radio/music when the instructions are spoken
  10. Not possible If your problems are related to the maps thinking you're in Germany or miles away, it could just be a common antennae issue. If so, a £5 Fakra gps puck will sort it very likely
  11. For the range, mpg etc there is a menu option to select what is viewable in there, they may be Un ticked. I think the option is in setup
  12. Are you short double pressing the unlock button on the door? For mine one press unlocks the drivers door and double press unlocks everything else.
  13. Find someone local with vcds (there is a search on here somewhere) or for not much money you could get a obdII adapter and use carista to reset the light. Do a search on here for carista for more details as others (including me ) have had the same issue
  14. For 3 fiddy I would of got one just to see but currently showing £6.19 and then taxes
  15. I can't say for sure in your case but my car was doing the same until replacing the driver door loom. In short, all the doors and locks report back into the drivers door controls (I think that is where the body control module is - BCM) so it can affect all the others too I could be wrong though as not an expert
  16. I presume we wouldn't want them folding back in as the doors auto lock (anti hijack locking)
  17. Oops you missed the parts in previous threads where it let's you know about that. Anyway....... You can get an adaptor for only about £5 then a free app will clear the warning. I can't remember the app I used but try a search Carista will definitely do it as it goes and I think you can have a free week trial on that or something similar
  18. Looks like it was citigo badges
  19. I can't remember exactly but I replaced mine with ones from something like the yeti or something. If you do a search on here there are discussions and part numbers. I remember all I had to do was snap off 3 locating lugs from the new badges and they stuck on perfectly. Been on the car for about 3 years now and no issues Ps this is to the new badges, i much prefer them over the old green ones Pps it might be different for the facelift models (mines 2011)
  20. I removed mine using a flat head screwdriver. Maybe better to use a trim removal tool or hard plastic pry but if you're careful it's fine Just need to get between the surround and dash and gently force towards you, you should then be able to pull off by popping the clips one by one as you pull
  21. Hi I guess it depends on what exactly the fault is as it could possibly be the stereo itself However, the most common cause, easiest and cheapest to fix is the gps antenna. For around £5 you can get a new antenna that can be fitted yourself quite simply. Most have then mounted on top of the dash. For example, I run my cable under the glovebox, up the door pillar and into the corner of the dash and window, it's very discreet.

  22. It has an internal battery in the siren and is wired so i presume charged from the normal electrics
