Panda radio has been driving me mad, my Panda has a Skydome and no aircon so speed sensitive sound isn't much use, I'm always twiddling the volume knob - and I find it too small and difficult to use.
I decided it needed a bigger knob of the sort Volvo use that are soft touch and therefore a bit grippy so you can adjust with the side of your finger.
I expected to have to find something to glue on but discovered last week that the volume knob from a 2002 V70 (and probably a lot of other Volvos of the same era) just clips over the top of the Panda knob ! It really is a perfect fit. Push on and off still works, it stays attached and if you wanted to it could be removed (something I'd only do to fit it in another Panda).
It looks, feels and works so much better, highly recommended.
Mine came from a friendly breakers yard but you may be able to get one from a dealer, the Volvo Radio model number is HU803
