Thanks yes its going to be attempted tomorrow! fingers crossed

I take it its under the rear seats in a c30 as well?

thanks

estellec30's car is a C30, which is completely different to ours. Here is what VIDA recommends for the C30:

You might get more help if you ask the people in the C30 section of this forum: http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=58

Sorry of course i should have done that too

thanks very much for the pdfs! just printed them off in time

let you know how i get on

Good luck with it. Seems a hell of a job comparing to the S/V40.

Hi

the mechanic never got a chance to look at it today but is reading through all the print offs! seems like a lot alright.

Do you think its like to be a wire loose?

maybe i should just put a new unit in in case he cant fix it! major pain!

got it booked in for next sat again so more time to think.

Not best start to my first volvo but could be worse
