IT has to be the garages fault.
Talk to solicitors.
yes talk to volvo uk but unless they agree to srt it out (unlikely, it would cost money) you're going to court.

There may be a very good reason why they couldn't get back on, but generally...

Don't you just hate when people don't have the common decency to update old threads they started, especially when the problem is resolved.

It's like letting a door slam in the face of the person behind.

In which case the OP simply states that's the current state of affairs and can comment no further until finalised

As it stands , it's simply poor manners.
