When I was running a SAAB I used NeoBros for all my service needs.... can anyone recommend a Volvo equivalent?

There's a guy that many on here rate called (I think) Tim Williams in Coalville.
From memory, that's not too far from Burton?

Don't know any more about his services I'm afraid. It's a name that's cropped up on here quite a lot. All good reports from what I remember.

Good news on getting yours running. So it was the fuel level then?

Yeah my name was the same on there too, I sold my 9-3 aero due to a baby. Loving the V70 although the T5 is not a patch for speed.... but its an estate family car I suppose! I always do my own servicing so I'm just after the parts, I have been to the garage in swad but only to check up on work experience lads they have been getting to make their tea. I think I'll just order the parts from Euro car parts as they have 25% off at the moment, the only thing that I don't like is they say my car requires 5/30 F/S oil GTX Mag A1 when I have read it should be the A3 type? All service items inc 8 litres of oil is £93.
