Voltage check on battery again this morn after not being used for 24hrs and left unlocked 12.72 so I reckon that passes the test.
Has anyone changed a SWM/clock spring? As I think it's my next step if the CEM clean up proves fruitless.
The car has 180k and is the PSA lump but we like it and it pulls our caravan effortlessly, mechanically we've had no issues but these electric gremlins are making me wonder if I'm throwing good money at bad rubbish, I'm not in a position to pay dealership rates on a car that is worth prob not a lot.

If the CEM has communication errors the fix is 3 pairs of network repair terminals from Volvo they are improved . Otherwise you will be "cleaning" the terminals every 6 months , they don't get dirty it is the fact that they "fret" so wearing off the tin coating .
