Guys just thought I would give you an update.

I phoned a few garages to get quotes for having the 3rd party rings fitted, and out of the three, one of which was a local independent Volvo Specialist, two mentioned that when they have done this in the past, often the customer would return and have the genuine OEM parts fitted as the 3rd party ones don't hold up. So the car is booked in to have genuine OEM rings fitted at the IVS, who has done work in the past for me and remembers the car well !

The O/S drive shaft was changed back in January 2017, when a used one was fitted owing to issues with different splines on either end on the new parts supplied. Now it may well be that the part came from an older car and it's that ring that has let go, or it could be the original thats fitted to the original NS shaft ?

If anyone wants a set of rings (from the link Martin provided), maked up as ABS-050 - Volvo 48T with a bottle of "retaining" fluid then drop me a PM. Would like to recover the £20 spent, but equally like to help someone out - so £15 incl post to a UK mainland address.
