Can the Volvo V70 fit three child seats?

Hi,

We would appreciate your help regarding our doubts. We are parents of two children aging four and six, and expecting number three in July. We are considering buying a 2016 Volvo V70 with integrated booster seets. Do you have experience in installing infant and other size child seet in between the boosters? All other aspects of this car are great for big families and we hope that it would fit.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely, Jakov

Will my SsangYong's engine ever be right?

Hi,

I sent my SsangYong Acton into the garage on Dec 20th as the fuel injectors needed to come out. I have rang every week since then and there's always an excuse... So last week I had it out with the manager and he admitted that one of the injectors disintegrated into the engine! Now the engine has been taken apart. I am not being charged any extra, but it's just the length of time (now eight weeks) I'm waiting> Will they get it back working again?

I have a reappearing dent in my Peugeot!

I have a 151 Peugeot 5008 that I got last June a year old. The car had a dent on the boot just above the number plate. The dealer got a man to push the dent out and it looked really well. In December I noticed the dent had reappeared. The dealer wants the same guy to push this dent out. I am happy with this, however, I am concerned that in six months time the dent will reappear. Is there anything else that can be done to strengthen the door from behind. I was talking to the dent guy and he seems a bit worried about doing anything from behind (I suppose from a warranty point of view).

Thanks
