Regards from Spain

Regards!
My name is José Manuel and I've just got my driving liscense and inherited a not-so-new volvo 360 GLE injection . While searching for some info, I found this amazing forum, and I couldn't resist to register

Excuse my english (not the best), and be patient (because i'm a newbie) .

Hope I can learn lots about my car, and contribute in anything needed!

[volvosneverdie]

welcome to the forum my spanish friend.
Hope youre enjoying your new car!

Make sure you post some photos of it too.
Be interesting to see what features it comes equiped with.

Hey Amigo! Bienvenido How are you finding the car? You have just joined a very friendly forum! Welcome mate from a fellow spaniard (anglospaniard).

[José_Manuel]

Ok, I'll post photos of my beauty as soon as possible!

[filthyjohn]

Welcome, we have lots of European members including a couple from Spain if I remember correctly. Make yourself at home, and give us lovely pictures of your 300!

[José_Manuel]

Here there are, at last. They are awful pictures because they have been taken in a lonely garage in almost darkness. I'll try to take better picture when I go to the country.

Here is the main pannel. I love the 'econ' indicator, as it is absolutely useful. The thermometer works a little crazyly.


I've to clean the carpets seriously.


The carpet is not the only thing I've to clean. It's so dirty because my band rehers, in a building almost in the middle of the country:


More pictures of inside the beast


Rear seats...


And finally, a photo with the other car in my family. Volvo wouldn't have nothing to envy to our A3 if it was 20 year younger

[volvosneverdie]

Wow.
Looks like a real beautey!

Im not surprised that youre pleased with it.

[trabitom99]

OMG! Air con! Does it have power steering as well?

I like the yellow foglights too ...

Yes, the econometer is a most amusing toy! I love it. "The crazy thermometer" might have a dodgy connection somewhere. The temperature sensor is located in the RH from bumper mounting, if you want to trace the wiring ...

I'd imagine most Spanish 360s would have aircon, all the cars we build for Spain have AC as standard iirc.

[José_Manuel]

OMG! Air con! Does it have power steering as well?

Fuck yeah! the power steering is very good (not as good as a the new audi one, but great as well). The only 'problem' with it is that when you turn too much the handwheel, it starts to make a strange noise, I don't know why.

In Spain, most cars have aircon: if you don't have it, you'll die while driving in summer, for sure

[sven360]

Most PAS pumps squeal when they hit the lock stops-well atleast all the Yank ones do

[SteveP]

That's a really nice car, quite rare to have a hatch Mk3 GLE injection, certainly don't think we got them over here in hatchback form!

[jtbo]

So, we need to reconsider our invasion of downunder, Spain is so much closer and filled with AC units, also I think they drive at proper side of road, well most of time anyway

I think Spain is most popular place for retired finns to move, I feel sorry for our Spanish members

That is exactly what it will be.

Very nice car btw

No, just hoping to have two buttons under the heater slider as well one day ...

In Spain, most cars have aircon: if you don't have it, you'll die while driving in summer, for sure

99,9% of German new cars have AC these days as well, you'd kill your resale value if you didn't order it! But 20 years ago, AC was something really special ...

That's a saloon, methinks?
