I had a stiff pedal on both my 850s, the second especially! If only I'd known about this then, everyone who drove it mentioned it!!!

Looks like you found the best volvo fix ever Pangster... great work.

I had a look at mine but there was just a box of electric wires that led to a box full of electronics that led to some more electric wires. I gave the box of electronics a clonk with the spanner ( well I'd got it out of the tool box seemed rude not to use it) and Im glad to report that it drives just like before.

Im so cack handed that if you give me 2 spanners I cant even play you a tune !
