I think people reacted because you stated the price with an exclamation mark, said it was expensive and capped it off with 3 sad face emojis..... It sounded like it was a problem for you and it sounded like people were suggesting how you could mitigate costs.

Also true. However the final bill was a quarter of what I paid for the car. Price is subjective. How much you are willing to pay to keep the car you want as opposed to buying a replacement and still having bills is only a decision you can make. Personally, for me, this bill was the same amount I would have had to pay to keep my previous S80 on the road, and that was an 03 reg. This is an 11 reg and personally I think was worth it.
Regardless of how your finances are, these decisions have to be made either by head or heart. I went with heart. Still a shock though 😂 |

An update...

Turns out that it was simply a hose that had 'fallen off' somewhere near the pollen filter. Dealership suspected it happened during the last service with them and so lots of apologies and fixed free of charge. |

That’s good to hear. Had it not worked all year since? As an aside there’s no need to park your car during lockdown if similar guidelines come back. There wasn’t ever a legal limit on driving your car to visit a place to exercise or you could take it on a longer shopping run. It doesn’t do us or the car any good to be stuck at home.

Yes they are obliged by law to do a full system leak check before adding new gas.... hence the price which is reasonable as it was done properly ...

Mine is showing a humidity sensor failure. Aircon works fine, cold air, hot air, it controls the temperature perfectly. I don't understand why it would need such a sensor in the UK ! The aircon system is hardly going to make the air too dry. I'll not get it changed, another poor quality component with a short life.
