Anyway, anyone of you know any good service center for Volvo in Penang?
Any the Rear Reverse light plastic has been break off, is there anyway I

Ha, ha, beat Cap48 to this, or he's too tired to reply ??

Hi Seanwn,
Welcome to the club, AFAIK there are three active guys in Penang (island
& mainland) - Kenari1, Discusman and me,me,me too(from Mr.Smith -
Matrix). I don't think we share the same mechanic, so if you want to know
mine, sent me a mail (or give your e-address) and I will email you a WORD
doc (sketch actually) on his location.
For the spare lamps, you can get from Ban Huat Chan (new) or New World
(potong). Maybe we can have TT too if our northern rep (Kenari1) is free.

Before Volvo,

I'm actually looking at Alfa 146, BMW 318i E30.
But then come across this Volvo 360GLE and the price, :-)
Like the handling and stability. But lack of the power of the car above,
but the price is totally offseted the performance :-)
Like the conti feel, Thank god finally sold my Nissan Sunny .

Don't get the alfa 146, go for 155 if you really like performance one.
For the E30, it's not that powerful compared to the 146/155. The 360 was
once used by the PDRM, so not too bad but I think the air-cond not so
good ah ?

Any problems on the car so far apart from cosmetics ? BTW, what cc is the
car ? (DUH)

the engine is 2.0, air cond no problem, if u want to make ur air cond
cooler on your volvo, I can intro my mechanic, he's good. He replace the
blower with a 2nd hand japanese blower and even modify the compressor.
Damn cold now, even on the afternoon.

Already brought the car, no turning back :-) anyway happy to drive it.

Seansw,
Send me another mail directly to kengtoh.yap@my.bosch.com instead of using
the autoworld mail format because I only see a return address
of "noreply@autoworld.com.my" which I know won't be answered.

Regards

Yawn! glock19, you're saying? Yes, I was tired after all the excitement &
long hours at the wheel. Had the most ejoyable weekend for since a long
time though.

The 360GLE is a nice car with a 2l engine. I believe that the car was made
in the DAF factory (& company) which Volvo bought over. Get a good
mechanic to maintain the car & it should last you a long, long time. Not
that many on the road nowadays.

BTW, welcome to the club, Seanwn. Hope that this will be the start of your
Volvo for Life!!
