V50 owners, need your help..
 
Hi all - hoping you can help,

Re the post here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=320185

I've found an item on eBay: ebay.ie/itm/224620691639 and wondered if you guys could advise on fit/extra fasteners required?

Also, any suggestions on how to convince a seller to ship when they say collection only?

Thanks in advance..

..update on this.
The seller on eBay wouldn’t ship no matter how much I implored him to do so, so I sourced a used skirt locally for €30 and am having it re-painted for €150, which while not an insignificant sum all told, is reasonable considering some businesses quoted me €365 while others refused point blank to do it! Even the main Volvo dealership wouldn’t touch it and only offered to assist if I ordered a new part from them and then had it painted also by them.
Anyway fingers crossed the repaint is a good match and the assembly/refit comes back together for me.

Next job A/C which is inop (doesn’t retain refrigerant charge when turned on). On that, can anyone tell me what compressor units are compatible on the V50 MY2010 B4164T 1.6 Drive (non s/s) for me to source a used one - Volvo obvs., Mazda, Ford, Peugeot - anything else?

I know a lot of engine and suspension parts are shared with Mazda, Ford etc but no idea about the aircon sorry. Maybe try Autodoc.
