If you're not using the car for the time being Mark, i think i'd do the same, get one from FRF or even your local Volvo dealer and then you have time to start soaking the bolts in penetrating fluid now so they have more of a chance of coming out first time while you're waiting too.

We do get the VOC discount from FRF, which brings the price down quite a bit. With postage it would be around £38/£39 ( or possibly a tad less as its not heavy ) which would still be cheaper than my local main dealer.

Hi Griston,

No problem, the price was what is worth to me to sell (which takes into account the effort of removing and posting etc), not what I am saying it is worth to you to buy.

I myself would go for a new one unless there are other factors to consider.

Steve

Didn't really want to buy new as I'm giving the car to my Father In Law. Just wanted a better one than the paper doilly one that's on it

I'll see what's being broken as I'm not in a rush

Cheers
