Hi,

This is real progress and if it is a national policy it is excellent if a little late!

However, if the car is low mileage then it should be replaced FoC.

I am also very pleased to see that all the ETM threads are now in one place on the forum - well done to whoever arranged this.

Given the cost to reclaim being £250 you are then in the reams of a court fee of about £30 Add that to the £250 and you are still in the bounds of the same charge.
£30 quid to get your money back.
And to upset Volvo UK.... And you will be mentioning them in the action as co-defendants...
