So, checked the fuse & could not find a specific relay for the sunroof ? I spoke with a local Volvo specialist who said that if you get the U.E.M codes 0004 & 0005 that it is more than likely the alarm siren causing the roof to stop working!
I replaced the alarm siren & reconfigured the alarm system & voila the roof now works!
My parts have also arrived earlier this week.
First job was to replace the lower arms as the front bushes were split & that was all I could really see that it would have needed for an M.O.T.
I opted for the Lemforder arms as I could not justify the £160 each! Arms from Volvo as the bushes fail after couple of years anyway. My plan is to have the old arms vapour blasted & fit polybushes, they will be only there for a couple of months tops, there also pretty easy to fit, it only took an hour to fit the pair including getting tools, & setting the car up on the lift.

Thursday was the day I got the D.I.M coded.
Goodbye J.D.M clocks
Hello U.K D.I.M
Spot the problem ?
Fuel computer still ready in metric K.M's/Litres!
Luckily it was just a simple programming issue I could sort using my own V.I.D.A
So what started out as a not too bad option of getting M.P.H clocks got very pricey as there was £300 of software needed to get them & the key working
So on Saturday I serviced the transmission & axles, well nearly all the axles :/
Tie bar polybushes & upper strut bar solid mounts & polybush
Before
After
Old bush
New bush
Solid mounts.
Old Transmission oil
Hooked up like an I.V !
Fresh in, soiled out
I only ordered 8 litres thinking that would be fine, unfortunately it was still coming out dirty!
It should be OK for now, I will drop & flush it in a couple of months when I next change the oil & filter on the engine. But next time I will run 12 to 16 litres through it so it is clear.

I attempted to replace the A.O.C/Haldex filter but as I remembered from last year when I changed it on the 'Restorection' there is insufficient clearance to get the filter in!
I will TRy again in a month or so when the car is registered and on the road, but as I want to grease the prop AND clean the filter on the pump it is no big deal as the flange has to be removed to get the pump out.
As this pic shows the filter is slightly larger the the clearance between the prop flange & filter housing
My 'Daily' is an MY06 and has a different set up so is easier to change, I thought the earlier models were different.
The screws were awkward to remove, but with the right tool are doable, hence I will attempt it again when I have a spare day.

And the final piece to the puzzle was this
And it fitted
Apparently these are N.L.A ?
This came through Volvo Historic from another dealer presumably ? How much truth is on this I don't know, but it did take a week for it to turn up!
I also bagged a set of N.O.S mats (no pics of these yet!) To round it off
I am just waiting on the D.V.L.A now to register it, oh and I'm also in negotiations to get a 'VR' related plate, should know on this next week ; )
2014 V60 Polestar 6spd Auto :: Polestar map peak boost 17.4psi :: IPD 3" DP + 150cel :: Polestar 2.5" exhaust :: Paddle Shift Geartronic :: Black glass :: Maxton Splitter :: K+N Filter :: IPD Aluminium Top engine mount :: Brembo 6 pots :: 20" Polestar rims :: Brembo 371mm floating discs :: Sensus RTi + DAB + BT + WIFi :: D3S XENARC 6000k Active bending headlights
Yes it was a little bit of a result as I did NOT fancy stripping out the roof lining!
Apparently the Alarm siren is on the same L.I.N bus as the sunroof module, I'm presuming that the U.E.M or C.E.M sends out a signal it goes to the siren first, because the siren is faulty the signal cannot go any further so the sunroof becomes inop ?
Just need to give it good clean and it is pretty much good to go!
I'm hoping to have it registered for early July.
