Hi guys,

I bought an S80 D5 SE Lux auto last night. The car is a 2005.

The car has a few little niggles and I'd also like to know a few things as well

1) the radio doesn't pick up medium wave very well. Is there anything I can check for this?
2) can I get anything to work with an ipod in the car?
3) I know it's been done to death, and a search hasn't helped. What oil should I be using and where should I get it from?

Thanks.

I had a look on the Grom site, they do not seem to list any compatible units for my car.

Personally, Oil wise, I'd go with Shell Helix Utra A5/B5 0W-30 - make sure it is compatible with DPF i.e. low ash content if the car is a euro4 or above (generally 2004 onward)
My car is Euro 3.

Not being funny, but do people actually listen to medium wave any more, and if so what?
Talksport, Radio 5 Sports when they have football on as well

Car is on 107k so not high. Tbh I was just going to chuck it at national tyres to get a change done as it is pretty cheap and hardly seems worth my getting dirty over lol

Ok, you sort of just assume that everything is FM these days.
That isn't much help either, the fm reception isn't that great lol
