Etm

I see theres a fella on E-bay flogging new ETM's at £250 +£10 postage at the moment.
Now I gather that if you fit a new ETM its got to be programmed by volvo, my question is, if I were to fit one, would my car be driveable as opposed to be in limp home mode like I am now?
Would need to be able to drive the 40miles to Inverness to get it programmed,

Hi Pox you have PM about the dog guard as for the ETM as far as I am aware you would still be in limp mode mate, though I could be wrong what year is your V70

i think etms are cheaper at the main dealer,worth checking with them first.

Its a 2000 T5, aye, from various posts I've seen on here I reckon dealers will be cheaper, but its miles away lol, gonna upgrade me RAC cover and see what happens!

They are about £160 from dealer + VAT NO POSTAGE hes doing ok if he manages to sell any ! he might pay say £120 trade price.
the car wont respond to the throttle until you have the software loaded .
