Hi From Brisbane Qld, Newbie Service Advice

[dodgeybro]

My parents just bought a 2002 XC70. I've always done their servicing but never dealt with Volvo. Just coming to grips with why people avoid Volvo's. I need advice.

1. Can anyone recommend independent volvo auto electrician or service centres north of Brisbane or Caboolture.

2. Any other volvo owners out there with a Vida Dice ECM tool. I'm looking at the ones on ebay and would like to know if they work. If anyone locally has one I would be willing to pay for Airbag reset (made a classic newbie mistake and now have annoying SRS Airbag Fault I need to reset).

3. Anyone recommend Volvo forum for Australian and QLD volvo owners.

Thanks.

On #1/#3, might ask this following member in Melbourne. I saw a lot of posts from him regarding the throttle body rebuild so he might be well connected in Australia. He might have some pointers for you

On #2, tools like the follow pic works perfect. They are clones of factory tools. Can do everything except download new software.
