These are a small independent breakers in Accrington who have decent stock, good prices and good service.
I got a pair of T5 driveshafts off them a few months ago when most of the other breakers only had the thinner, non-turbo ones.
Try them on 01254 234382

i will certainly vouch for them too, i have had a bonnet for my 850 and a complete exhaust from the cat back, very happy with the service and definately made welcome by Adam, this will always be my first call for any spares i need, you would be surprised at his vast amount of s/h stock all in good condition too.covering a wide range of models, i found him thru this site and would recommend him to anyone....

I just completed a deal with Adam today for a bit for my t5r. Got the correct part at a good price and postage was good as well.
Thanks Adam.

I can also fully recommend readview. I've used a few local garages now and found them to be by far the best. Cheers adam

i can vouch for adam, he has done work for me on my 850, not expensive and always happy to help,i live about 23 miles away but he has offered the use of a loan car whenever mine is in dock, his second hand stock is also well kept with a wide variety of vehicles (volvo) so a wide variety of second hand spares for most models of volvo, and a fair stock of alloy wheels with tyres, if you need a mechanic THIS is the man.....

I too cannot fault the help that Adam at readview has supplied. I bought an ABS controller and pump at a good price. After about five days though the controller gave up but after speaking to Adam he offered a replacement and sent it out almost immediately. I would recommend them to anyone who needs second hand parts. Thanks again Adam.

Just wanted to say thanks to Adam for sorting me out with an interior door panel today. Very reasonable price and fitted too. Despite it raining and having to move a few cars around to get the spares panel out of an old motor, it was service with a smile all the way! Definitely recommended if you're local.

I've been using Read View for almost ten years now and recommend them highly. I've bought many-a-Volvo from Adam and I've never had a bad one, and his stock of second hand spares is second to none. They have full workshop facilities including diagnostic equipment, and a genuine love of all things Volvo. In fact, what Adam doesn't know about Volvo's ain't worth knowing, and now with the addition of Paul, a time-served Volvo dealership technician, Read View can provide a complete service whether you've got a 20 year old 240 or a shiny new XC90.
