It would be rather embarrassing for them if it actually turned out to be a sensor rather than the headlight!
Yowsa! Just read that one: it is properly shocking what warranty companies (including Volvo) will do to weedle out of their responsibilities after taking all our money

I am sure the MotorEasy warranty will be pretty similar (excludes lamps/bulbs): main reason I went with them was that it was almost half the price of the Volvo one, but with this precise risk....& they will have less 'goodwill' in them, no doubt

Might have to take mine down to our local indy Volvo dealer (I need a written quote before MotorEasy will say what they will pay, & my main dealer - who I do like - are over an hour round trip away).

Hey ho....the fun of motor ownership!
