Default M.O.S.T. Security patch to fit Grom

Hi does anyone know of a garage that will do the security patch to the M.O.S.T. so I can fit a Grom to my 2010 V50 to get Bluetooth? I phoned my local dealer but they had no idea. Looking for Ayrshire/Glasgow area. Thanks

Kingfisher Auto between Chertsey and Staines in the yard at the end of Timsway just before you get to Staines has worked on my XC90 for years. Ian there has been great.

I'd like to recommend Merv Squires at Kentisbeare in Devon; He's been a great help with all the work on my 240 torslanda over the last 5 years

Default Parts and Servicing V90

I have just joined VOC and the Forum. I would appreciate some recommendations as my 1990s V90 seems to fall in between the classic and new cars in terms of interest and expertise from garages. I need a garage which will be happy to deal with electrical issues such as the heated seats, remote locking etc. I am in SW London. I see that Kingfisher Auto between Chertsey and Staines was recommended by Fulsenal in January. Any others, specifically for 90s cars ? Thank you !

Are there any recommendations here for Irish volvo specialists other than main dealers?

Hi. Does anybody know of a garage in the Glasgow area that would be willing to fix my 1997 940 Estate. The sump needs replaced and also the steering rack. I have replacement parts here but am having difficulty finding someone to fit them. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone used Walsgrave Garage in Coventry (or any other independents within about 30 miles)?
Coming to the end of a 3 yr service plan so may be time to look at independents

Thanks
