So I don't see where Paddy gets his figures from..

Incidentally, the cost of the replacement ICM fitted to my car in Nov 2007 was £779+ vat for the part alone, part no V30732644

I just want the ICM removed from the car so i can install a normal radio.. So i can trade it in with a working stereo and no faults

To be honest i have had the car for 18 months and it has been the worst car i have owned for problems..

I had a 500 banger when i was 18 and that gave me no problems at all.. But spend Thousands on a car and so far it has cost £7000 in repairs. Thankfully the warranty covered it!

I can not wait to get shot of the car, and will never buy a volvo again!
