Default RE: Leather Seats

'Fraid that is the problem with these new cars George, Engineering has been overtaken by IT and when it works it works and when it don't it really doesn't work. Volvo seem now to link everything by electronics so that everything is controlled and interlinked therefore no swapping bits between cars anymore - give me mechanicals anyday.

I can see it coming now, you can't have the latest download patch to fix your known fault as that bug has been fixed in the next release (or we decided not to bother) which you cannot install as you havenet got a big enough EEPROM which will cost you a squillion Euros plus labour!

Looks like it wil be down to you, Peter and me to keep that 900 series going for ever!

Call me a Luddite but just because I work in IT doesnt mean it is the be all and end all:)
