The old 01 finally died of a broken engine........and I have acquired a bargain of a shiny 2005 with all the whistle and bells to replace the old girl....
Of course a bargain has its problems and the abs light comes on intermittently......no problem I thought....replace the abs module with a re-built one £70 (as per the 2001 version)......but no, it appears Volvo encrypt individual electronic modules to the car so that only they can put in new bits and let the car talk to Gothenburg....then charge £1.4k.....
Ive been away a while sampling the forbidden fruits of other machines (Pajero Evo.......awsome!) but when did Volvo play this dirty trick and is there an easy work around?
Thanks,
John
