He unplugged the air mass meter and no change, so plugged back in. Then blanked the egr off and it runs fine apart from the eml.
So, I took out an AA warrantee when I bought it, but it has a 14 day exclusion period so doesn’t cover for the first 14 days! So I know that I can’t use that to get it sorted.......... where do I stand with the used car dealer (not volvo) in terms of a warrantee and/or the law?
Finally I’m luckily in a position that if needed I can find the money to get volvo to do the work but what are your views or suggestions?

Whether the dealer sold it with a warranty or not, you should be covered by the consumer rights act - especially after only a week. That is why it is best to always buy a used car from a dealership. TBH, based on experience, I prefer to buy direct from a main dealer. You get a different quality of car and, using Volvo Selekt as an example, a very good warranty if something does go wrong.
