I'd almost buy that just to see it go over a million. If that's the original engine that is some going :eek:

Thanks for that. Tried that yesterday, took the entire thing out & sprayed all the connections with electrical cleaner, still nothing.

There was a slight clicking noise from the CEM compartment yesterday when I tried to start after cleaning connections, stopped after a few seconds though.

Battery is relatively new in it too, now nothing works, can't turn on the radio or anything

Now I get nothing, key doesn't even lock or unlock the thing anymore.

As mentioned a few times, it really does seem like the battery is totally dead at this stage. Maybe if you get a multimeter and see what voltage is in the battery first and try and rule out that. Hopefully a fresh battery or fresh charge in that one will help

Best charger you can get. 20 minutes on a dead battery and the car will start, they're unbelievable. It has brought several batteries around the place back from the dead, they should be called the Lazarus charger!!!

Thanks for all the replies. Mechanic gave me a loan of a new battery to see if it helped.

Fitted it.. interior & exterior lights worked, windows don't though for some reason. Still won't attempt to turn over & nothing lights up on the dash.

Gonna cut my losses on it & scrap it. 4 almost brand new tires & fully serviced 6 weeks ago & all FFS.

frozenfrozen · 28-07-2020 06:51PM

clean / sand the battery terminals and try again

All things being equal, a poor connection at the battery would not, in itself, prevent the dash lights coming on.

More likely a BCU fault, or a maxi fuse gone.

Sounds like the cars they used to sell in the fifties - sawdust in the gearbox to reduce the grinding, I am not sure what went into the diff to hide the whine, egg in the radiator to seal the leaks, filler to cover the rust holes, clock wound back to hide the galactic miles, etc. etc. etc.

Caveat emptor.

Sounds like the same issue we had with our V50 years ago - ignition switch was faulty.

Happened the day before it was being traded in, so it ended up going on a truck to the Volvo dealer we bought the new car from. Think the cost was €710 from memory, which was back in 2013, so probably over €1,000 now - although that's main dealer Volvo pricing.

bazz26 · 29-07-2020 12:40PM

Sounds to me like someone who had their mechanic look at the car after they bought it rather than before.
