Oh well, its getting closer to the time that my clocks will need repairing, the clocks been going backwards intermitantly for a week or so, and today my trip reset! Damn, i wanted to see how much i was gonna get to my first full tank :D
Oh well, ive found this place on Ebay, so they'll be getting my £60 very soon :(

I could ask for a forum discount if enough need the repair doing :D
Good find Paul.
Looking through his feedback, he seems successful repairing DIM's, throttle modules & RTI's. Perhaps he'll offer a forum discount if you get him on here.
He already does it cheaper if you contact him via the VOC forum ;)Quote:

No??

Im going to try a sticky aswell, there'll be LOADS of us needing this thanks to the crap solder. Surely Volvo should sort this out?? Gits! :D
And by the time you've replaced all the bits, it'll be like a new motor! Im starting to know the feeling :DQuote:

I could go on... 1800quid so far, for a 9 year old ex plod with 188k. Good job i got the car for free!
the guy is an absolute god send for volvo's, ive been chatting with him for months... he can code ANY DIM to your car & make it show your original mileage..
ive just had my DIM repaired by him, 2 months & still going strong... comes with 2 year warranty & he'll do ETM clean & repair, & ABS something or other... he turned my clocks around in 2 days.
a real nice bloke...... here's his profile mods apologies im just trying to help not promote.
his website is.....http://volvodiagnostic.com/
not sure why he's not on this forum, probably b/c he's inundated with work on the VOC.... i bet volvo is making him a rich man!! lol
