A credit card ain't nowhere near strong enough for this job as the belt is devilishly tight. This experience and not a few others have convinced me this will be my very last Volvo.
Funny how it's always the inferior of two companies or companies' systems/products that wins out. Saab and Volvo spring to mind. Saab were a class act.[/QUOTE]

Perhaps you need a bigger credit rating on the card :-) Seriously though ,I have used an old credit card a few times to fit new air con belt with no problems . The cold weather may change the game as belt will be less pliable and card possibly more brittle.
Re the class act Volvo Vs Saab; blame Mr Ford for the crappy bits. Ford gave Volvo a bit more style but used cheaper components. But then General motors b******d up Saab and and closed them down !
