First of all I would like to introduce myself.
I am Michel from Germany, driving a Volvo V70 since 2007.
Love my moose, it is a 2.5 10V with 144hp, build end of 1997.
I am travelling to the UK since 1992.
Was on the way to friends in Scotland, but now stranded since Saturday in Glasgow.
Hope my English is good enough.

Which Volvo specialists in Glasgow do you recommend?
The search gave me following results:
  • Volvomax (Dougie)
  • Central Garage Johnston (Kenny)
  • CS Autos in Renfrew (Chris Hall)

Do you agree? Other suggestions?


Reason why I am searching:
Yesterday i drove on the M8 through a flood. Did not have the chance to change the lane due to the traffic.
But just the left tyres went through it.
The 4 miles to the fuel station have not been a problem, car was running normally.
But after having refueled the Volvo it does not start since.

Yesterday I fortunately got my German specialist on the phone, so I was able to check some maybe rootcauses. I checked

Petrol pump: is okay
ignition distributor: dry outside, also all cables and connectors
Camshaft sensor: cable and connector seems to be dry
Pulse generator crankshaft : ?
Having done the tests, I assume the ignitioncoil gets no power, thats why I need help.

After four hours waiting time, the roadside assistance picked my car up.
Unfortunately they are not able to store my car in a dry place where it could be dry out.

My insurance said I have to find a repair garage by my own to get the problem solved.

Will highly appreciate your help in finding a Volvo specialist in Glasgow who is able to solve the problem.
hi welcome,i cannot help with garages but surely if it drove after the water episode to the fuel station then went wrong its very unlikely to be the water,is there any chance you have put the wrong fuel in? how are you checking spark? at worse you got some water in the electrics but most is well protected on these cars but wouldnt hurt to use a water repelant spray around all the visible wiring and fuse box etc.i hope you can fix it,peace
