When I buy something and I'm happy nothing else matters (even the better half) lol. So if its brick....................etc. lol. :wink:

[Matt30462]

He's cryptic but he's right. Anyway, is it alright or am I crazy?

[Engineer]

Don't tempt me...................... :B_censore :wink:

[arbee]

not bad at all that - tho I'm defo doing mine myself, giving the ignition side and the pcv a spruce up whilst I'm at it all for loads less than that! - would appreciate the wash tho as we're under a 'pipe ban :( lol

I know a service can be done cheaper of course but though it is the 110,000 service on paper, it's the 75,000 in miles. Another 25k on the clock and I will jettison the Volvo service history in favour of a cheaper option.

Thats not too serious mate but I still reckon history from a main dealer is worth a lot less on theese cars, they are 10+ now..

[Wobbly Dave]

I hope Olive is in good order now?

[Matt30462]

As she always is David. All serviced and tight. Lovely new fresh oil caressing her internals. Romped the MOT, just a note for one tyre on the limit and a little play on the O/S/R anti-roll bar link (whatever that is) half hour to do apparently.

[Wobbly Dave]

Hoorah!

Took mine to Harratts Leeds the other day for the 110,000 mile service. Was washed and cleaned and service booked stamped. Total was £105.16 including a couple of bulbs.

Apparently, std price is £99 on the volvo "essentials" service. See here:

Probably a bit less of a thorough checkover than yours Matt but I got my service book stamped so I'm :)

ittle play on the O/S/R anti-roll bar link (whatever that is) half hour to do apparently.
and about £44 plus vat to buy one, i believe. not a big job at all, they are like the drop links on the front anti roll bar, but shorter
