An electrical contact must be playing up. It caused the engine to stop while my wife was driving. It came back immediately, but now we got two problems:

- finding the contact. Any ideas of typical trouble spots ? The car is booked to a Volvo specialist anyway within three days, because it is losing coolant. Perhaps it leaks on the cables ..?

- the Radio has gone OFF after my wife has tried a few codes. I now have the correct code (I think), but I wonder whether the garage can enter it, or do they need a Volvo dealer ?

- well yes, the third question is: where is all that coolant going ? It started ten days ago, and the liquid seems to go missing even if we are not driving for a day. It is summer here in Sydney, but the engine does not overheat and hasn't lost power. Radiator ? Hoses ? Water Pump ? Expansion Tank ? Cap ? Or, (perish the thought) Head Gasket ?

Suddenly, quite a few problems for an 8-year old which is hadly traveling these days.
