I tend to do my own repairs these days so might be useless info.
If he is still in business pay Simon at Brookhouse on the Hadleigh Rd Ind estate a visit.
While he may not undertake repairs as such he has a wealth of parts and contacts as well as sound knowledge all round esp RWD Volvos, if anybody knows someone it will be him.
Only other place that is independent I can think of is Wrights in Attleborough, its in webbed foot County [I jest] but they used to have an ex Volvo mech, I am going back a few years though; I was in the area and stopped off to have a look at an 850R while in my 740T and got taking for a while about the older cars.
Happened to mention an ongoing weak handbrake issue and he told me about Volvo dealers upgrading pre face 740s in the early 90s, and I should swap to ALL 940 parts.
I did and handbrake has been perfect since, you kind of remember people like that.
