Thank you - Volgrrr, setjett5 and V70driver for your encouragement and inputs.

I have been travelling extensively for over two weeks so only just back on the case.

My C70 T5 is going back to the dealer tomorrow. The throttle action is highly suspect since the ETM replacement (my wife is complaining about hesitancy in the cruise, like it is beng switched off and on). The car also will not rev above 4000 rpm (the rev limiter cuts in).

Volvo Car UK have not had the decency to reply to my letters/faxes so it looks like I need to raise the bar with another letter and copy this one to various journals/BBC etc etc.

Regarding Ford (Volvo parent) they are in real trouble financially (currently selling Aston Martin) and this situation must have a bearing on the way these issues are being handled.

Unfortunately of course the new owner is now peddling Ford/Volvo hybrids as Volvos - the new C70 is based on a Focus and the new Ford has a Volvo engine. I can't help feeling that the Volvo company I once admired has gone forever.

Thanks again
