Obviously I hope you don't, but if you do end up scrapping it, and want to sell the ECU..... :wink:

Have you tried Lakes Autos - Volvo dismantlers?

Their 'stock' changes on a monthly basis, so even if you've spoken to them in the past, it might be worth giving them a call...

Well after a tireless search for a front drivers side auto driveshaft (and 1 day until the scrap man was comming!) ive manged to get hold of one, so good news for all! the 440t will live after all (despite having to pay a bloody premium for a second hand shaft(£65)) so will pm all who have contacted me and wait in anticipation for more!

Yep, definitely put me on the list. The car's in daily use though, so as I don't have a spare ECU I'll have to send it to you as late as possible, and borrow my parent's car temporarily.

Cheers,
