Fingers crossed for you Tony, that the situation can be resolved ASAP. Seems like the car(s) are in safe hands.

Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
Funnily enough, I asked who made the Volvo gearbox and Steve told me it was made by Borg Warner Asia. I understand they're the same company who make Borg & Beck clutches. They started out in the UK and then moved to Asia.

Is it Aisin Warner? They do the boxes for Land Rover Freelanders which share a lot of stuff with Volvo.

My new Volvo has an Aisin gearbox - 8-speed auto, very smooth.
