Default Volvo 850 GLT Estate

Hi there

After doing my apprentership along time ago with Harston Motors / Lancaster Volvo, i have now got my Volvo.

I have a 96 850 estate GLT, i am looking for a CD changer and the connecting lead. could you help.

It would appear that someone removed it before my purchase, my tape collection has dwindled and would like to keep the original set.

Many Regards

Paul

Hi Marcel,
You supplied, and fitted to their holders, (a very fiddley soldering job) a new set of lamps to my SC805 for my Volvo V70. All is now lit-up and I'm chuffed to bits! Many thanks.

Regards,
Rob.D

Hi Marcel. Are you still in business. The RTI in my volvo is malfunctioning. Cannot read the Map Disk and the dashboard top pop up screen will not shut down.

Default HU803/Volvo radio repairer?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if Marcel or Central Services in Ipswich are still a going concern? Tried the phone number, won’t connect, tried a PM, and a Google search doesn’t come up with any obvious websites.

Failing that, does anyone know another repairer with knowledge of the HU803.

Mine has a failing LCD and has lost both the CD and Changer inputs, ideally I’d like to keep it, but it might be time for a modern replacement, willing to take advice on that too!

Regards,

Mike.

EDIT, just called OAK TREE garage, see above, and finally got through.
Marcel has retired, but apparently comes in on an Ad Hoc basis and MAY be able to help out intermittently. I’m waiting for a return call from Oak Tree.
