I am surprised that they are still holding on to Volvo.  I have a S70 AWD. I know the service techs at my dealership liked working for Volvo not Ford.  _____________________________ 1998 Discovery LE Life is a trip without a map. Dennis (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 2

India was a British Colony for a long time let us hope that it will keep Rover at it roots and still make Rovers for those that never go off road.
