Update
Well hopefully the radiator and auto transmission issue is sorted. It took a while ... we decided to get it done at a garage (not main dealer) and get the auto box flushed properly and a new radiator fitted. First problem was finding a garage to flush the box and also to get a new radiator. One garage, without seeing the car, immediately declared the repair as uneconomic. A few others said they could replace the radiator if they could find one but were unable to flush the transmission. One garage insisted they would have to have a radiator made specially. They were surprised when I pointed them to adverts in 'Volvo Driver' magazine. But finally we found a garage to do both the radiator and a power flush not far from home. Initially they received a radiator for a manual car but a day later the auto one arrived and was fitted. All done and collected tonight. So far so good.
But on arrival back home I noticed reverse lights were not working. I cannot believe the work done as above would have caused this ... so more detective work is needed.
Any tips anyone? Might be bulbs, but both at once? Doubtful. I believe it is fuse 12 to check followed by the black wires as they go into the n/s (left) light cluster. Not sure about the transmission switch ... maybe near the selector lever under the trim? Haynes manual is no help here.
Cheers, Phil
