Suspension transit blocks left in place for three years

My Volvo V60 was supplied to me from new with all four suspension transit blocks still in place. At the third annual service, they were spotted and removed. Up to that point, was the car safe and legal. Do I have any recourse?

In a word, no. This was grossly negligent of the supplying dealer, but, since you suffered no actual 'damage' there is nothing you can sue for.
