    I'd like to third the motion.

    It's nothing to do with opinions shown, it's a lack of respect of the users of this forum & a lack of will on your part to accept the advice of (i'd guess by now) 10 other users who have all agreed on a sensible course of action to investigate the issue based on suggestions of both DIY mechanics & professional mechanics (some trained by Volvo!).

    Your lack of understanding that mechanical issues can often be simple things to fix IF you diagnose the issue first, saving you money & the mechanic time, just shows that you either enjoy giving poor advice or have a distinct lack of reasoning.

    I feel very sad that a Volvo is suffering at your hands, constantly having new parts put on to different areas in an attempt to repair the most obvious fault in the car.

    But luckily you must have to get out of the poor thing once in a while.

    I have also added you to my ignore list, as I'm getting tired of this purile drivvle which you continue to spout.

    Save us all mods!


    You think I know **** nothing! But let me tell you I know **** all!

    ,.,

    well apparently iv started something,
    according to a certain member (good use of word)
    the basis of this forum is to try & help each other,not fleece them,
    if a person is looking for help on here,its usually because they are unsure or dont know,so ask for help,
    if i didnt know anything about cars & some (member) told me i should change so many parts & at a huge cost to cure it & then find i still had a problem i dont think id be very happy with that person who pretends to know so much when really knows very little,i remember there being a thread on here a while ago about people making & giving opinions on repairs etc without the real knowledge or having good advice...i think this qualifys....
    i dont think your bit of paper really stands up for you,anyone can get a degree etc,you can even do it at home....thats easy....the skill is when you lift the bonnet & get involved with the problem....iv got qualifications as a mechanic,& iv been doing it since i was 14 so i think i know roughly what im talking about,im not gona make someone spend a huge amount without knowing what the problem is,
    i know many people with qualifications on paper but they dont know ££££.
    so while this has all been going on & harpin on about floor pans on which model poor ole flash b still hasnt got any help...
    so id just like to say flash b please take your car to a local garage or someone with some knowledge of this kind of thing/vehicle as most of us here have said,if its a drop link or a lower arm then thats good that its found & your car is restored to a safe condition again,& hopefully at a reasonable cost.i feel this thread is wasted & pointless now as it seems its just up for a heckling......another sad day on vpcuk

    Perhaps there's a good reason you're not a mod in that case.

    I refuse to recant, not least because I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition (nobody does, after all).

    All of whom are fully entitled to their personal opinions.

    I suggested he start with the most likely suspects, if he's thinking of ordering parts ahead of inspecting.
    Guess that makes me pretty evil by any measure.

    That's very touching, but it gets only what it needs, thanks all the same.

    Quite frequently, as it goes.

    I don't often get personal. This is, after all, a cyberspace forum where people just get together and chat and work out their solutions. I am, however, willing to make an exception in this case.

    Mr 'Ican'tbelieveit'snotaVolvo' has singularly rejected, misconstrued and willfully misunderstood anything that has been offered to him by anyone on this forum.
    That makes him, in my book, a nasty little troll. I think I said earlier 'F O A D' or something along those lines.

    I am now going to ask the good people of this forum to use their imagination for a moment. Just imagine that we could physically show Mr 'Ican'tbelieveit'snotaVolvo' that he is wrong in his assertions but we need a way to get his undivided attention. I would suggest gripping his upper lip with both hands and NOT LETTING GO. Yes, I think Mr 'Ican'tbelieveit'snotaVolvo' would have to sit up and take notice pretty sharpish. After this 'education session' we should then introduce him to my friend, Mr Shovel . . .

    May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your climate control system (that's assuming the piece of crap you have spent such humungous ampounts of money on isn't an ex-plod and is in fact fitted with some standard spec Volvo equipment . . . )

    Oh! BTW, I forgot. A pox on your first born, you ugly wart on a salamander's tongue!

    Hate to feed the Troll but I've heard the V70 is an S80 estate as well... just odd it has the S60 interior and dash. S60 doesn't feel as wide but it must be. Leg room in the back of an S60 is less than a V70. Maybe its the £££££££ love child of an S60/S80? But then the dates don't match up...

    Is there not more in life to get upset about?
