Re: purchase the equipment

I had an old cargo net with four hooks from my previous VW Golf. Holds the groceries, step Ladders, tool boxes etc well on my non-folding floor. That's not the same. I used nets before, but that folding floor is awesome! My shopping never was so convinient. Yes, you are quite correct an old net isn...

Re: Replacement tyres / puncture repair.

The only people that benefit from a hybrid are the tax man and your company.

Re: Service advice

You can take your car to any garage, even during the warranty period. As long as the garage services and repairs in accordance with Volvo, and uses their parts, then warranty is unaffected.

Anything else would be a monopoly situation and is unlawful - since October 2003.

Re: Service advice

There isn't really normally any room for negotiation. A basic service + things it needs will be a price, a mileage based service will be a cost + things it needs.

That's the price asked for and to be paid.

Re: Replacement tyres / puncture repair.

If it has foam inside it's previously been repaired by the foam canister supplied in lieu of a spare wheel.
