Ok whats happening - the lights been on for the last few months and now its not!

So is it all ok now? When the light is on cruise control doesnt work - it does now - is ETS intelligent? :insane:

ETS light doesn't just indicate a throttle problem - it can mean a whole load of stuff so you need to read the fault codes.

Well - just been to Volvo and sure enough its my electronic throttle body that has gone wrong! - Booked it in - but is there anymore news about the Volvo Extended Warranty that they have in the US of 10 years 200 000miles (for this part only)? I believe they replace it with a Bosch unit - I have searched the Forum but cant find this post!

I have an ETM from salvaging my C70 if you want to buy it? Still in perfect working order.

Costs over 600 quid last time I heard - so if you want it - make me an offer?
