If urgent why don't you give them a call using their international phone line? (in the FAQ) I've called them before (to make payment) and always I've been promptly attended to. It may not be Simon answering the phone, but his mates are all helpful. Hope that helps! I bought my 04 V40 used and had the same radio code problem as you. Luckily my dealer here could get it for me, for a fee of course.

I have through checked my emails and I honestly can not see any messages off you asking for a radio code for this vehicle? I am unsure if you have sent this to the correct email address or not (frfvolvoparts@gmail.com)? If you did send me a message to our correct email address then you will have had an automatic reply from me saying to wait for 2 to 3 days, but if you never received that reply then I did not receive your message. Unfortunately though I can not help you with a radio code for a Non-UK vehicle. the VIN number you have provided is incorrect, as its only 16 digits long and needs to be 17 digits long, but as I said if this car is not from the UK then I can not help you with a radio code. From our FAQ's: (please see Number [1]) (Q38) I HAVE HEARD YOU CAN SUPPLY RADIO CODES? Yes we do, and at no cost. We have supplied many radio codes free of charge to Volvo forum users over the years but there are some things we have to point out: [1] We can only supply radio codes for UK vehicles. [2] We only supply radio codes to people who email us, not over the phone. Please email frfvolvoparts@gmail.com and ignore the auto-reply you may receive. [3] We will ask for your registration number and VIN number in order to proceed. [4] If the code supplied does not work then it is likely that your radio has been replaced at some point in the past. This is not a problem but if this occurs please then take the radio out to find the following information (sometimes these codes may not be on a sticker, but etched into the metal body of the radio): -Model Number: eg: SC-801 -Serial Number: eg: VO12345A1234567B, OR: M12345678 -Part Number: eg: 3533711 [5] If this second code does not work then it is likely the radio has been re-coded at some point and no Volvo dealer will be able to help, but this is very rare. [6] Remember that some other Volvo dealers do charge for this service (some upwards of £30 per code) and we offer this service as an extension of the discounted parts supply scheme through the Volvo forums, and as a thank you for the continued support we receive from the forum members. [7] We reserve the right to NOT supply a radio code if we so choose, at our discretion. If this is a vehicle from the UK please send me the full 17 digit VIN number to the email address above and I will check for a code for you. Simon

Just wanted to add my praise and thanks to all the others. I've just joined here having picked up a V8 sport XC90 last week and have ordered a full set of rubber mats including boot liners from Simon.

Hi Simon,
You might remember me from a few years back - I had a red 850R which made me consider buying shares in FRF Well I'm back in the fold having bought a V70R, so I thought I'd say Hello and glad to see you're still about! I'll be in touch shortly no doubt. Thanks for all your help in the past, and look forward to dealing with you again in the future. All the best, RT (Sam)

Just wanted to add my thanks to these guys. Rang them earlier, left my wallet at home so (swmbo came to my rescue) a few phone calls back and forth - parts being delivered to work tomorrow no fuss and at a discounted price.
Credit were credit is due, top service, easy going and lots of help. Will be back

I've ordered all my Volvo parts from FRF and have spent a small fortune lol, but I have also saved a small fortune compared to what I would have spent at my local Volvo dealers. This service is a fantastic priviledge and would like to thank Simon and the parts guys at FRF for their support. I'll be on the phone shortly for more stuff no doubt

Simon, I've tried email from ROI a few times but my mails are disappearing into the ether. I wasn't bothered too much at the time because it was a brake upgrade kit I was looking for, and I wasn't in too much of a rush, but I have a load of other parts I want now to start bringing my 850R to S0, and I'd like to get them into my shed for those rare sunny days! Could you keep an eye out for an email from me please? I'll send my address via PM.
EDIT: Ok, I can't PM. My address is adam AT beecher DOT net. Thanks, Adam Last edited by dahamsta; Jan 31st, 2014 at 17:32. |

no UK email contact... not a good idea
You're losing potential sales Simon. I sent you an email last week asking for various prices but apparently emails for UK enquiries are now ignored
I work 7-7 and am not allowed to use the phone at work, so I cannot call you. I explained this in the email hoping an exception would be made, but as I haven't heard back from you I've now sourced my parts (several £100s) from elsewhere. Very disappointing given how good your service used to be.
