Genuine parts used as well.

Well.... full disclosure etc. I replaced both rear springs on my own XC60 a few weeks ago as one of them has failed, but the car has done 133k and apart from the washer pump getting clogged with slime from cheap Tesco screen wash and a brake light bulb, no repairs needed in the 52k miles I’ve done in it. Genuine parts were £176 from Volvotradeparts on eBay and changing them is a doddle, 15 mins each side (using power tools).
