Well that was expensive.....
£187+ for 8 head studs/nuts, 4 studs/nuts turbo to manifold, 3 studs/nuts for Turbo to front pipe, oil feed pipe gasket and o ring, plus 8 crush washers for banjo fittings.
I know they're genuine Volvo head / manifold studs, but £7+ each for a stud and similar for a single nut, whilst coming from Sweden in 6-8 days, I do feel a tad 'shafted'.
If it fixes it then I suppose I'll forget the cost, although it does stick in the throat a bit, when specialist fasteners suppliers have studs of all sorts for around 60p for steel or £1 for stainless.
Only trouble is you can't find out the exact sizes needed till you actually do the job, so as I need mine off the road as little is possible I need to get all the bits to hand before starting.
Oh well, that can be the better halfs Xmas pressie 😀😀
Cheers
Steve
