In the run-up both prior to ordering and getting my car, Volvo have made a bewildering set of changes to spec and available options, but the fundamental mechanics have remained the same.
I note today that the B4 engine (like mine) which is only available as an auto, has moved on the latest pricelist from an 8-speed TC box to a 7-speed (suspected DCT as with the smaller engine options) auto.
On figures it makes it slightly more nippy, and slightly more frugal, but somewhat heavier. The more powerful B5 (alone) retains the 8-speed box.
I wonder whether this is another supply-chain issue? If it is the same box as the lower spec engines I suspect the B5 produces too much power/torque for the 7-speed.
I wanted a TC box (so I'm not concerned) but I'll now have to go out and use manual changing and count the number of gears just to make sure there are 8 ;-)
On another note, the 'van now has it's second "elephant ear" back. Having already removed the interior trim, It was a relatively easy but rather fiddly job (mainly cable routeing and breaking and making the electrical connections through the small hole made by removing the mirror controls from the armrest) The aftermarket replacement functions fully, and is of acceptable if not quite OE quality. It is, however, roughly half the discounted price of OE, and at least is "E" marked. The temperature sensor is on the underside of the mirror case on the OE and I initially thought it was missing, though the wiring was present; on this it is on the door mount (and it does give approximately the right reading).
There is an indicator in the casing, and the standard has a clear lens, and an orange 6W bulb. The "Tempo Libero/Free Time" version, on which many motorcaravans are built, for some reason have a similar shaped lens, but with an orange reflector and a clear 16W bulb. The Canbus isn't happy about the wrong bulb wattage. Luckily, the lens/bulb on the original was undamaged, and they have been swapped.
Job's a good 'un (well, it will be if I can get the interior trim back undamaged tomorrow) Fingers crossed.
