Check to see if you are getting battery voltage to the positive terminal on the starter motor, and check what the battery voltage drops down to when trying to crank. You will need a multimeter for...

Kieran stop being so thrifty and buy one from Volvo lol.

This is the tool for the retaining springs. Quite expensive for all it is, but using long nose pliers can fill up your swear box very quickly

Normally if you switch the engine off and restart it, the message disappears. No need for the whole battery disconnect makarky Kieran

Will keep an eye out up here in Belfast

You could always just wing it and fit a new release bearing. The clutch and flywheel could have life left that would do you for at least another year or so. At around £80 or so for a new release...

Likely to be the slave cylinder/release bearing. Given the labour involved, you'd be better off replacing the clutch, flywheel and release bearing while the gearbox is off. If you replace just one...

The handle switch itself is connected to the number plate lights. You can't just buy it seperately, and it costs around £100 or more from Volvo. Easy enough to change. If it's opening ok with the key...

Can you open the boot remotely using the key fob when the car is locked?

Lucky to get 500 to a tank in my D5

The relay is behind the drivers knee roll. You need to remove the two T25 torx screws so you can take the panel off above the pedals. You will find the relay in position MI11. Probably the easiest...

I'm going to be retrofitting fog lights to my S60 shortly. There's a fuse (number 18 in the drivers side dash fusebox) and a relay that is located in the relay box under the steering column (located...

The number plate light could just be a bulb, but be very very careful removing the bulbs. The holders are terrible and break easily, and they can't be bought separately. You have to buy the boot...

You need to get a diagnostic check performed on the car to bring up the fault codes. Only then will you have an idea of what the problems are. Your engine service required message could be something...

It depends on what needs servicing. If it's the standard service reminder then you can switch it off using the trip buttons etc, but if it's engine service required, alarm service required or abs...

Hi James. If you want I can run a check with Vida/Dice if you're anywhere near Belfast. This will give the most detail to help diagnose the running issues. The source of the grinding noise will be...

By the sounds of it your main issue is mechanical. No amount of plugging in of diagnostic machines will tell you what it is. Have it put up on a ramp and thoroughly inspected. It could be anything,...

The fault will return straight away if it hasn't been fixed. From what I can tell it looks like either the plug under your drivers seat is at fault, or one of the connections associated with the rear...

You can replace the security bolt with a standard bolt no problem. The one that came with my kit had an allen key drive that snapped off when tightened. You are left with a round bolt head with no...

I'm almost certain the alarm module is located in the same place as the P2's (drivers side front wheel arch). Fuses 2 and 10 show up as being relevant on a google search, but whether this is correct...

Just realised you have a P1. What I have said above refers to P2 models, but it may still be applicable, though the methodology and costs involved may be different. Got a bit excited there. Ohh err :)

New alarm sirens are ballpark £160-£170 if purchased from FRF Volvo Swansea or ebay. They come as a kit, and you can either drill the pop rivets out of your front drivers side wheel arch to access...

It could be faulty coil, spark plug, ht leads if fitted, low compression, faulty injectors or injector wiring, unmetered air intake through a cracked pipe after the maf, timing issue, camshaft or...

Cheers lads I'll check them out

Before the inevitable happens, I'd like to swap out my locking wheel nuts for some new, less likely to break ones. Does anybody have any recommendations on which security set to buy? They're for an...
