Ive been told it cant be fixed or added

In my case im at issues with them and placed a large deposit so stuck for 3 years unless something can be done

Ive mentioned seeking advice from trading standards, after all its a misleading outright lie

I notice that the 2010MY spec guide no longer lists the R-design as having the speed dependant steering system but merely lists it at "special R-design steering" maybe the brochure has finally caught up with the actual installations!

wow only taken 6 months and it could have something to do with a trading standards investigation and subsequent legal action because of it

Volvo seemed to think they were above UK laws and im told fully prepared to defend there actions

Trading standards however are adamant im told they will not let this "oversight" escape
anyone who feels they were mislead by this feature are advised to contact trading standards and for those who are disabled contact your leasing company

Hi my 2009 v70 r design steering is very strange , it's very very stiff when I'm stationary like I'm turning into a parking space,,on the move it's fine and light , it seems it's altering itself which I find strange.
Mine hasn't got the steering settings in the menu either but if mine hasn't will it still have a speed sensor on the rack???..
As sometimes it's like a feather and other times it's non existent.
New pump and expansion bottle up to now
