Re: under-bonnet lighting I hear that, my Honda cub blew and ripped a rear tyre on the way home from work at 5 in the morning at Highnam on the a40, had to wait 3 hours for a pick up from the AA as they didn't have a driver who knew how to collect a bike......not cool.....

Re: under-bonnet lighting Oohhh.....bias and prejudice....  Citroen also didn't think they needed rustproofing..... Actually I have found volvo electrics to be shocking (pun  )...only time I have ever properly broken down was in the 740....but for a quality comfy solid drive with a certain boxy ruggedness they have their place...

Re: under-bonnet lighting I've been toying with replacing one of the Dyanes with a 740 turbo, especially if I can find a decent early one with the four speed overdrive layout.  Volvos are so unfashionable these days, they're cool.
