Rear Spax adjustable dampers £130

Front dampers are not available yet so stds will have to do!

how much are car repairs generally in poland?

my b14 propshaft broke when i was over there - i was charged £100 towing fee (on the back of a lorry), £100 labour and £100 for a prop (2nd hand) - expensive even for uk prices.. but the guy i was with was brickin it at the time, and overrulled me

That's really EXPENSIVE!!! Normally propshaft cost about 300PLN that giving about £60-£70 and labour about 100PLN that giving about £15-£25.
Unpleasantly me that you were duped

Unfortunately, in Poland when someone is far from people take it advantage.
I'm really sorry...
I work in volvo service in poland (www.autoklimat.com.pl) so if you arrived to poland I invite.

I'll testify to how awesome it was! It glides, it's not as rough or stiff as I'd thought it may have been. No rolling about and it goes exactly where pointed, when pointed! Incredible, and the engine is just something else, grin inducing, that's for sure, cheers for the ride!
