Have to admit these last 2 things you mention have been constantly bubbling in my mind throughout. Hence I think I need to have it back from these people, have it looked at by someone who knows this...
That's an option I never considered. Although I don't want to give them any potential ammo to say "we wont honour any warranty on the clutch as you have modded the car" (in case the vibration comes...
Thanks t5frankie. They already did the clutch - they had that done within 4 days nearly 4 months back. The issue is since then, there's this vibration between 20 and 30 MPH which they say is the...
The people who said it is the centre bearing are the same people who said the DMF was "obliterated" - this supposedly specialist company in Cleckheaton. The odd thing is, they said it was the centre...
Right, main update to this, is that it's still not done, the place it's at is claiming they CANNOT find ANYONE who can repair or supply a replacement prop (other, I guess than Volvo) Is this...
Thanks for that! Never noticed!!! I do have appointments, but it depends on where you are - your profile location seems to be down in Weston-S-Mare? If so, that's unfortunately waaaaay too far...
I can't blame my Volvo man - he passed it on in order to get the car sorted for me - he could have sent the car back to me once he realised he couldn't do it, but instead he's being man in the middle...
Anyone got any advice how to handle this? They will I'm sure deny everything, and I guess my Volvo man will start wishing he never got involved and will not want to fight it with the outsource...
Oh god this has turned into a nigthmare!!! They did the clutch by the middle of the week after and sent it back to my Volvo man. But he noted a body-shake between 20 and 30MPH - so it was sent back...
It was relayed to me that the DMF was "obliterated"... :(
OK dumb question, but what is this dual mass flywheel, and why does everyone seem to think I need a new one?
Anyone know anywhere in the Barnsley/Sheffield area who can supply and fit a new release bearing and clutch to a P2 V70R-AWD for less than £750 AND do a good job/know what to do with AWD sytems?
oooh, it's like a thread I started 3 years ago, only the other way around!!!! Simple answer, get rid and buy what you want. Faffing will likely lead you to be owning a car in pieces. Even if you...
You forgot the "bah humbug" ;)
Mine have been received. Many thanks!
Well, it seems that there's a switch issue in the car. I had a friend watch the car whilst trying to piece together when the parking assist switches on and when it doesn't - it was immediately...
Easy to put big power to them, but NOT easy putting big power to the floor through them!!!! Also uprated clutch a must for meaningful power changes.
In fact this is the reason I finally abandoned...
I found it amusing that Volvo made such a big fuss about the 480 for the celebration year - considering they spent much of the last 25 years pretty much pretending it never happened.
Oh well ;)
Have to say, I watched this with no sound, so dont know what was being said/heard, but in silence, most of that seemed OK to me - dont know what speeds were being hit of course, but most overtaking...
Is done.
Guess I need a new one now - Justin - any left and a reminder of the payment method/address please!!!
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I don't have a button marked "PA" (or anything else to do with park assist), when I said "BUT I do have PA!!!" - I simply meant that the car clearly has the full...
Oh it's definately Volvo sensors in the bumper as they are colour coded.
There is definately no button, and I've not seen anything come up on the radio.
But it DOES have PA! It came on when I...
Yeah why not:

Here's the odd thing, the book is fairly generic and covers a multitude of engines, headlights etc, so clearly for a whole host of configured options, but still does not mention parking assist.
I...
