I said a couple of hours they wanted all day which would have meant delaying some of the dogs from getting their wheels by a few days. If you get the number of the car in the scrapyard Volvo will give you the radio code.

I've disconnected the battery, so presumably that will take care of any potential sips problems.
When I removed the seats from the scrapper, I took the seat belts with them, but I note that there is a warning on the pretensioner that it should not be used in another car.......... which is a pity because the seat belts in the scrapper are cleaner than my ones. Presumably I should heed the warning and not swap the belts over ?.
My recollection of the TV programme is pretty vague, I think it was a cash in the attic type of programme with a little white dog that had balance problems. He couldn't walk any distance without falling over, but within minutes of having his harness fitted he was bombing around like a good un. Our mutt might need your services in a few years - do you do a giant T5 R version............ He's a Borzoi, so he's bloody big, and pretty quick........ he's the reason why we have to have a big estate :-).
The radio code for the scrapper is not a problem, the owners manual with a card carrying the stereo code was in the car, so I grabbed that as well. Its a pity the owner didn't leave the locking wheel nut key in the car, because there is a nice set of alloys with very good tyres on the car, but I can't get the damned things off :-(. I've tried one of the Irwin bolt remover things, but the dammned nut has been done up by a gorilla !.
