Trouble with cars....
Yes. It was a non Volvo Dealer sale.
They had the car for less than 20 minutes to read the codes so it's unlikely they pulled the battery for 2 hours.
Online MOT mileage works with the cars mileage so it's unlikely to have been clocked. NO, it's not moon and back miles but its slightly higher than normal. It was the right car and what we could afford.
Lipscomb's Volvo did the code read, Adaption's and the subsequent Code read and diagnostics of the fault.
We've had the car 3 months now. The fault occurred in late November and was in the garage to be code read early December. It took to just before Xmas for the adaptions to be done and subsequent code read was 2 weeks into the new year.
The other issue is my wife. Telling her to take the car back and get our money back is met with a torrent of abuse and a stern 'NO.' She totally loves her car even with its faults. I would also suggest that the dealer is very unlikely to take it back after 3 months of ownership even though the fault started 4 weeks after we bought it. They have been aware and authorised the adaptions to be done plus paid for the work.
