volvo repair cost..up and up - barney100
My wifes volvo 480 failed its mot due to a faulty steerung rack. I had it done by a local chap but he had to remove the steering wheel to align it. Low and behold the SRS light comes on and he says he cannot fix that as only Volvo have the gizmo to do the job..
Volvo in Basingstoke say it will take under an hour...first attempt fails....second attempt fails....now they say 4 to 5 hours strip the electrics to get to the loom. This seems excessive to me...what do the team think?

If no joy here, try the appropriate forum at www.volvospy.com, a site frequented by a number of Volvo trained workshop guys.
