Volvo is currently in the workshop having the injectors sorted, however what started life as a couple of hundred pound job is increasing.
The dealership I purchased the car from have agreed to pickup some of the tab as long as I pay a contribution as well. I've got no problem doing this, the total bill is going to come in the high hundreds now instead. Given the price paid for the car I can see why the supplying garage are saying what they are because the fix is going to cost almost as much as I paid for it in the first place.
Essentially three out of five of the diesel injectors are seized in the head, two are very much stuck and its touch and go wether they can get them out without destroying them. Replacement injectors are about £150 each, and he can get those easily.
Apart from that the car is pretty good, drove 400 miles in it last weekend on less than 1/3rd tank of diesel. 70 litre tank, range remaining is showing as 700 miles.
