But, all done now yay!!!

Pleased you got sorted but it's nowhere near £2k worth of work is it?
The cooler is available between £500-£600 new...

These are genuine Volvo branded part prices. If you buy the same parts from the actual manufacturer (who Volvo source them from) then they are nearly half that.
So parts £1k and half a day labour for a tech who knows his onions should see the cost top out at £1,300-£1,400 even at main dealer. Should be well under a grand at an Indy.
