if they arnt sure .

AND even mechanics can have an off day sometime and just simply forget..lol

Simon,

I have just read some quite damming posts ref: Russ at RT. and
I'm not surprised you want to ensure there is no mistaking you both.

So again I do apologise in putting you both on the same line, and will ensure I will not make that same mistake again.

Fitted the strut brace on Saturday morning - or to be precise fitted it with my 8 year old son - so it literally was childs play - photos to follow shortly.

Wow did it make a difference. Not sure I'd say 90% improvement as some have said but at least 75% improvement - so much nicer to drive. You have to ask why Volvo didn't retrofit them themselves - heh ho.

The guys at FRF were great - arrived when they said and was well packaged and a great price - £62 well spent.

Yep, I was pleasently pleased with the results after fitting it. It certainly boosts the confidence in the car itself.
Now I'll keep looking for a Detachable towbar (at a price I can afford...lol)
