I've been having some random stalling issues with my Volvo but diagnostics say is running perfectly. I'm tempted just to bung a new MAF in and see what happens.

Not tempted to clean the MAF??

I went for really expensive when there was a sale on and I also had a voucher code so ended up only being expensive.

Out of interest, how many litres did you buy?

15 litres so should have enough for the transfer box as well. Will likely have to wait until spring now to be changed.

Whilst testing a @Stempyuno lighting modification I noticed one of my lower light clusters was partially filled with water. Knowing what a ball-ache of a job removing the clusters is, and not wanting to risk losing a spanner or socket in the recess behind the wing (again), I make a simple but effective aqua easement port at the bottom of the light instead.

I tested a wiring mod from @Stempyuno that enabled my rear lower brake lights to additionally function as side lights. Really easy install and works perfectly! Here's a video of them in action. (I was testing all possible combinations, it's not a show demo mode!)

I was thinking this the other day. Have you got link to do mod please? @Stempyuno
Love the brake lights on these.

I have same isofix bracket too.
Did you add anything to the bracket? Not sure if I'd personally trust just that small bracket to hold isofix without seatbelt as the bracket doesn't seem to have much solid contact with the seat and don't think seat back was designed to take so much force of an impact.

I can certainly string one together for you.

Stringing me along again? 🤣😂🤣
Would be awesome please. Thinking involves new bulb holder to allow dual filament bulb and also running wire from side lights down?

Do you have a magic string to light up the centre of the light bar also?

200 odd mile trip to the Cotswolds and back and it was fine, if you are worried then you could add an additional strap from the centre hole if the child seat accepts it and doesn't need to be rear facing, as the grand daughter is 5 weeks old the seat had/has to be rear facing, HTH if you need any further info then ping me a message.

Oh and edit this was the seat that was fitted,

If you have the LED lower brake lights like Parky then it's just a single adapter wire running from one of the corner lights to the LED cluster.

I've often considered lighting up the centre bar but it hasn't come to the top of my project list yet.
