Car is 1997 V70 T5

OK, I have the well-known faulty ignition switch problem, where intermittently it won't power up all the car's circuits with the ignition on, a slight turn or wiggle of the key and it all comes on OK. I think it's now time to fix this properly as it's gradually getting worse.

I know this is caused by wear in the electrical part of the ignition switch, and I understand it's not a hard job. So my question is, where's the best place to get one, apart from Volvo themselves of course? It seems that PFV don't stock them, any body here bought a good value one elsewhere?

Cheers!
