The problem could be I have just ordered a batch this week!

Euro car part or GWS are the best place for inserts

This was a little while ago....2-3 weeks maybe? I think you have George to thank for opening up the channels of supply. I'll let him know, and try to work out the chronology of all this. Either way....cool work guys

cheers

Tha happened to me on both sides at seperate times, the passenger side first, then the drivers side about a month later. Just took it to the garage we always use and he sorted me out both times with replacements (not refurbs iirc)

Help is at hand - either get the existing ones welded, or speak to Dai about exhange units. This seems to be a big issue at the moment, and the Volvo gods have been on the case!

I hope you told them to **** off, and stay there. Honestly, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If they'd sell old parts for sensible prices, they might not have to THROW IT AWAY when it's time for stock clearance. Idiots. Disgusted of Galmpton is going to write a letter

Rant over

cheers

Is that the price for whole casing? Even though if it is, it's still a weird price...
