I'd try your local Volvo dealer for service items like headlamp wiper blades. Volvo part number 274434. Last time I bought a pair they were pretty cheap.

Or FRF Volvo dealers in Swansea do mail order and give a huge discount if you mention you're from the Volvo owners Club forum - discount code C3. https://www.frfvolvo.co.uk/

Brookhouse are a good parts source for older Volvos - https://classicvolvoparts.co.uk/sear...&Submit=Search

Finally, Skandix (in Germany) - they normally sell original Volvo parts, or aftermarket. They seem to only have aftermarket at present.

As John said, the headlamp wash system operates automatically every time you wash the windscreen, so don't leave it too long without a headlamp wiper blade as you'll scratch the headlamp.

Good luck with your new car - the early 80s facelift 240s are quite rare now and have some nice features not present on later cars.
