F.A.Q

Why should I join the Club?

People join the Club for many reasons – some just want to receive the superb magazine each time its released, others want to take advantage of the fantastic discounts offered available to Club members for insurance, breakdown cover, servicing and parts at most volvo outlets and also at many independent Volvo specialists. Discounts of 15% (and sometimes more) are also available on aftermarket parts from a huge range of suppliers. Many members take advantage of the FREE technical support which has saved several members many times their annual membership fee. Indeed, we would be amazed if you did not save AT LEAST the cost of your annual membership each year.

There is specialist advice from a range of specialist Series Advisors within the club and specialist parts advice from a number of Club members. Each Region arranges its own events so whether it is a pub meet, Show & Shine, visit to a place of interest there will be something of interest, near you, where you can meet like-minded VOLVO enthusiasts.

Club members also benefit from getting access to the Specialist Database where you can search for a specialist LOCAL TO YOU. These come from recommendations from members, for members. Members also get massive discounts off a whole range of collectors’ model cars, books, workshop manuals, and a huge range of Volvo-related regalia and merchandise.

Many insurance companies have Agreed Value policies and the Club can provide you with a valuation at a discounted price. Imagine One owner who did NOT have an Agreed Value had his car the true value then gets his pride and joy stolen oposed to say another member WITH an Agreed Value got the full Pay out when his was stolen! all because he had the right type of valutaion in place with help from us .

For those who are a bit more adventurous we are planning to run several track days where you can explore the handling of your car in a relatively safe environment with advice from qualified instructors often given for free. Abroad we may arrange rallies in due course when the correct people can be charged to take on the role ( if you fell you can help please get in touch with us ) .

We also put on the LARGEST Gathering of Older VOLVOs In The UK ..

What do these membership categories mean?

Single membership is what it says – for an individual membership. Family membership includes BOTH partners as full club members but only one magazine is sent to the household. Children under 17 years of age can also be put on the Family membership but they are only “honorary” club members with no membership benefits or rights. Companies can take out Corporate membership for up to four people who receive their own magazine.

Can I get free advice if I am not a member?

Free technical advice is one of the many benefits available to paid up Club members. The Club Office will always help where they can with any questions that are QUICK to answer. You can see what you are missing by going into the Members’ Area where you can get a taster of what members get access to. Parts Finder IS accessible by everyone – this is a database where Volvo Parts no. can be searched.

What is going on near me?

Even as a non-member you can go and look at our Events Diary and find out where things happen near you. You will be made very welcome to meet us at any event but you will not be able to display your car at shows, nor to take advantage of any of the other benefits of membership but if you do turn out to one its a perfect chance if you like to Join our/your club for your Car .

Why can I not log in to my members account?

The email address that we hold for you,is incorrect or you have the wrong password.

You can reset your password by clicking the lost Password / Forgotten Password? link on the login page. Follow the instructions there. If your email address is incorrect, you will not receive the link, so you must then contact the club office and correct it.

If you have logged in with an incorrect password or user name more than three times, your account will be blocked as a security measure. The solution for this will be posted on here as soon as I am informed of it. (One of those forgotten items in the list of over 3000 when planning a new website - sorry)

Why does the member's area require me to log in?

It is only for members, and we need to know that you are one. If you are logged in, quite a few pages will be visible to you that will not be visible when you are not logged in.

How do I contact the webmaster?

Click HERE and ask your questions please direct them to the " Webmaster " - but only if you have tried hard to find a solution to your problem! Questions will be answered in the order they are received. Response time will depend on how many questions there are, and how much free time the webmaster has.

Who does the page editing for the club?

Currently, the webmaster in the office is Robert.W . From about mid to late December 2016 , any series advisor or Regional Reps can offer the services of one of their group to edit their own pages or forum secions. This will require a full working knowledge of the editing system after they have received on line training. A manual has been prepared, and will be provided. Their English will also need to be of a good standard, as the current editing system has no spelling or grammar checking. This may change in due course.

Will it work on a smart phone and a tablet?

Yes - they should both work fine across the website on all devices.
