Heico have been personalizing Volvos for years now by providing accessories and parts. You can drive up to them with whichever of the mainstream V

Now, imagine that in a car – driving along with 2 or more “bars” on the dials, no worry in the world, and then it all suddenly goes bust. Nerve wrecking.
Happily however, Volvo are aw
