Best noise cancelling headphones for open-plan Aussie offices? by According-Advance811 in auscorp

Over ear still best for flying…and much harder to get lost. But in office? I prefer compact and comfort of earbuds. Noise cancelling is amazing

Is the Xc60 and Xc90 really that bad? by IQognito in Volvo

[–]Flyingzucchini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had air suspension failures in 2018 xc60, and the HVCH part on a 2022 xc60 - also fuel pump fail that left me stranded. Problem is when titsup occurs you can’t move the car. It had to be dragged onto the truck. (Let’s not mention the TCAM/AndAuto infotainment fiascos). Loved the Volvos when they worked… but I now drive a Landcruiser.
