I was under the impression it was 10% plus 2, but even that is up for grabs.

In my area, Marshall Volvo Derby is the closest Cinch service center. Compared to dealer pricing, the service schedules appear to be far more comprehensive. When his XC90 T5 is due for its next service, my SiL will likely give them a go.

Another suggestion: if the lock barrels can be removed from the doors or boot, fill an ultrasonic cleaning bath with cleaning solution and submerge the entire lock barrel in it for a long time.

Other criminals may disagree and offer an explanation, which will likely include claiming that it's all guesswork without the fault codes that your scanner isn't picking up on but should be there ...

In my opinion, you should look for one that isn't Adblue, preferably from an earlier model.
