Also i cannot find any wires for stero but is ex police so will they have been chopped? many thanks lads Billy
Welcome to the forum and good luck with the car!
Welcome to the forum! Your abs is a common fault on the 850's - expensive to get it resolved by Volvo but Wobbly Dave (a member here) repairs them for a much smaller fee. It might be worth talking to Salvo (Volvo Salvage specialists) re the back box if you want a cheap replacement (with 10% discount for forum members) or try one of the 2 Dealers we have on board (Marshalls and Speeds) who will both be able to supply you with a new box for a nice discount ;) (have a look in the members discount section for details) Once you get her up to scratch wil you be modifying? x
Hi and welcome, which force was your car from ? Whats the last 3 digits, that might help with the area code.
yeh i have been told it's a common fault but din't really know where to start. when it's up to scratch i will be tastefully modding (trying to find a sports back box) any ideas???? as to the force it's from i have no idea. i will go to salvo maybe tomorrow as they are just down the road from me. many thanks billy
