The really good news is that my car is repaired. The bad news is that the car is in Italy and we are back in Wales. I suppose the other bad news is the extortionate price of the repair. But I suppose that when you are over the barrel, then you simply have to grin and bare it.
The image above is a stock photo of a Volvo S60 D5 that I found on some CD's that I have. I don't know if it an SE like mine, but it looks 'Special' so it probably is the Special Edition (SE) model. I was looking for the photograph of our Volvo taken high up in the mountains in Italy when we toured the lovely Italian countryside in 2007. Or the shot of 'the Beast' parked up in the Welsh mountains a few years back as well. Both images are pretty good, but to my disappointment, I could not find neither.
I am now in negotiation with the lovely people who provide the European Breakdown Cover. I will let everyone know how I get on as the negotiation develops.
