• 2007 Volvo XC90 D5 - Please Help with this Popping Noise 2 Jan 2022 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm getting this strange popping noise coming through the intake manifold in my 2007 XC90 D5 engine. I don't hear this noise when I open the oil filler cap- it only comes though air intake hose. Its really loud in cold start! Please watch these two YT videos. Volvo XC90 - Seat belts on MoT 29 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  I've just bought an '03 Xc90, and the third row of seats' seat-belts are frayed at points - doubtless owing to a dog chewing at them at some point. I am confident the webbing is not so compromised as to prevent it from restraining folk in the event of a sudden stop or worse, but am mindful of the fact that their condition is not likely to pass unnoticed on an approaching MoT.

• Volvo XC90 (2002 - ) - 05 2.4 Superchips? 2 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Right, I am about to by an XC90 D5. I was going to purchase the 2005 model as it's a little cheaper. However I understand that from '06 onwards a better D5 engine was used (185bhp). I hear that this got rid of the delay through the engine/transmission that can sometimes develop under harsh acceleration.
• Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 09-06-2018 Part 2 11 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  All this stuff about Volvo promoting that 'no-one in the UK has ever been killed in an XC90' is just their attempt to cover off the publicity around Uber using an XC90 during their autonomous vehicle trials in America and killing the cyclist. I'm confident in your mantras on most things, but I'm not comfortable with you supporting Volvo in this particular PR message.

• Volvo XC90 v Honda CRV 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  All sensible suggestions of a saloon or estate car have been rejected for no intelligible reasons and we are left with a choice of new 4x4s for c. £25k. Honda CRV 2.2 Ex Auto (2010) - £26,500k - best broker price Volvo XC90 Auto Active - £26k after leather re-trim and a few options added. Having driven both, the Honda feels slightly more modern inside albeit the build quality doesn't feel quite as good as the XC90. On the handling front, they both feel similar (i.e. numb steering, zero road feel, the sense that the car is going to topple over if you take a bend at any more than 25 mph!).

• The Top Gear Thread - Vol 13 12 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I hate to think that this act of rock 'n roll legend didn't happen. Inside knowledge, anyone? (By the way, credit to Clarkson for saying that the XC90 was a better family car than the journalisticly acclaimed new Discovery which managed to crawl up a dodgy Highland slope. Not to many of them round here, so I'm happy with my XC90.)
