2009 model

Would look into this,

The issue is my mirror shell is the USA variant,

Doesn't use the same part number as other models.
This is quite strange. Can you share pics?

Yeah P3 Volvo S80 3.2

Volvo xc90 2.5T

But I tend to always stick with the s80,as you previously said,it's a low vehicle but that is to its advantage when speeding grin

As regards night driving

The led upgrades aren't even for that at all but mostly for sweet aesthetics

Sometimes at night,before approaching my vehicle,I just use fob to switch puddle lights some distance away,it usually always stands out
This should work for your s80, up to 2010 model https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010457481640.html?channel=twinner
what year is your s80?

This seems to be a new trend

A guy on Facebook just had his 2015 avalon exact part stolen in PH,he is currently searching frantically for the replacement,not available in the whole of PH,he also doesn't like his vehicles missing parts.

Una Lexus/Toyota/Honda people dey try oo


Funny story,

I parked my Volvo last month in an open space in lagos,a xc 90 parked 2 Corollas away from me,after the function we all got to our cars,only the Volvos were able to start,apparently thieves have done there thing on both corollas,brain box stolen,the volvos were ignored grin
I think you also once mentioned similar experience while your Corolla was broken into,

Those things are so easy to penetrate grin no pun intended



Also one sweet feature
Maybe because I don't have full tints on my vehicles
Police rarely stop me at check points,they just ignore the Volvo meanwhile you see varieties of Lexus,benz and Toyotas been disturbed,not until recently I swapped my s80 front lights to led which is on DRL,then start to dey reason my matter once in a while.
Bingo!! Police also doesn't stop me while in the volvo, though they rarely do even with the lexus. When I installed car tracker for my volvo, even the installer himself was telling me that I am wasting my money cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy But I did that out of shock of what happened to my corolla. Volvo comes with tight security from factory, and being a rare vehicle, it is not a thief magnet. Where will the thief sell the parts? Who will buy? Come to think of it, any thieve that collects this my volvo will be tracked down easily cause in the whole Abuja, I think I am the only one that has white 2015 s60 t6 R-design, I stand to be corrected though.

I can see the Volvo getting much love from mods,
Your side mirror covers uses tape or clips?
I can't seem to find the perfect fit for my own model,I brought 2 wrong types already,only mod I am missing so much.
Also Do led interior lights upgrade na,very easy and helps aesthetics at night,
Also led puddle light and licence plate led
The Volvo is very touchy, and I love it grin grin. I am always grounded cheesy cheesy cheesy so I don't normally drive at night, I rarely do actually. I will definitely consider the mod. Is your ride Volvo? I must admit that I searched for that mirror cover all over the internet and didn't find it, it just miraculously popped up in my aliexpress and I cupped it immediately. Share your ride so we can find a fitting one together.

Your LED bulbs arrived yet?
Any major difference
Yes, it made a huge difference. I normally don't use the volvo in the night because of the headlamps but now, even SUVs are afraid of me grin grin grin grin
I'm very happy with the outcome

It seems vandalism of the rx is on the rise. Sadly, parts are very costly. It costs me 50k, logistics inclusive to replace this part.

My wife took it to Dunamis all night vigil and came back with the part missing cry cry cry

Port443, doesn't the S60 require premium fuel?
How do you handle that?

I'm looking at getting an MDX but the issue of premium fuel is giving me second thoughts.
It requires premium fuel, unfortunately and your concern is very valid. However, the s60 t6 is not a stressed engine, unlike the turbos in benz and bmw that tries to squeeze all the juice from the engine.

The MDX is a solid machine and you won't have issues with using regular fuel here, many people are using it and it is not in our list of problematic cars grin grin grin You will only sacrifice some portion of the performance (the road won't allow you anyway).

Just don't collect it and it will be returned as it is a recorded package and needs a signature.
I'm glad that we still have some decent Nigerians. Most Nigerians are criminals.
I have reached out to him and also apologized to him, cause the type of review i left for him was bad grin grin

I have no need for the watch cause I bought it here already (regretted not just buying it locally here in the first place)

Hopefully, he can get the shipper to send it back to him

Send the seller a private message informing him of the current situation. They should ideally send it back if you don't receive it, but the seller may have another solution for you.
Thank you, I have reached out to him

I think if you don't go to collect it, it will automatically be taken back..
In that case, if they call me to come pick it up, I will tell them to take it back

Guys, is there a way to send package back to China? I ordered a Huawei smartwatch on the 1st of November 2025 and paid good money for the shipping, however, I waited till mid December and the item was yet to leave China. I initiated a refund and I was refunded on the 4th of January. However, I got a mail this evening that my item is in Nigeria. The issue is that I have bought this watch from a local dealer at a higher cost and no longer need it and have spent. what do I do?

Doctor?

I’m even more than a doctor. I’m a Geneticist..

Whenever you hear take care of your health, 80% is all about your red blood cells..

A strong red blood cells can fight anything in the body, including HIV! … Yes, it’s possible for some people to have sex with HIV person and they don’t contact the HIV themselves..

Why did you think they’re trying every best to GMO our foods? It’s simply to weaken our red blood cells… An average African got a strong red blood cells, except there are complications..
White blood cells are actually what fights infections. Lots of misinformation here, dished with the confidence of a commanding soldier in his platun grin grin

Greater than doctor indeed

Richhard:
Great thread op, thank you for sharing.

One thing though, I noticed you haven't posted about changing Air and Cabin filter, this is one important maintenance that Nigerians ignore.

You can inspect it yourself, you'll see how dusty they are.


Also do you wash your car yourself or you use local car wash?
Thanks a lot my chief. I don't joke with air filters because we live in a very dusty environment. I changed the intake air filter in my first service in October 2024 and it is meant to last for at least 20k miles, I haven't put up to 5k miles on the car since purchase.
I just changed the cabin air filter with the one I got from aliexpress about two weeks ago(I tagged the post below) and it fits perfectly with a genuine feel. I am not able to post everything I do in the car, sometimes I forget, some I just feel is not relevant.

My gateman wash the car a minimum of three times a week(exterior only and usually with just water) I do wash the car whenever I manage to take it to work (this time, whole body and interior), but I mostly drive the volvo now, it has more soul than the rx cool cool

Port443:
Decided to try this cabin air filter from aliexpress. Looks a lot like OEM grin grin

Pls what's the difference between torque and horsepower ?
Torque is the muscle that helps a car start moving and push heavy things, while horsepower is the energy that keeps the car going fast once it’s already moving, i.e Torque is how strong a car can push, and horsepower is how fast it can keep pushing that strength. Hope you get it now
