As mentioned in the title my rear ARB broke on my yellow T5R estate.
Can anyone in here CONFERM whether it is the same partnumber of the ARB used on a T5R limo.....?

I have found one at a recycler, but he is not able to tell the partnumber.

Hi,

I'm fairly certain they'd be the same. I'm also fairly certain the only possible difference would be a little variation in the bar thickness, the bolt points would match.

I think the rear ARBs were pretty similar, with only the later S70/V70 R phase 1s possibly getting a slightly thicker rear bar, but I found my 850R estate already had the thicker one when I was investigating this.

HTH, Pete

Have you considered the IPD upgrade?

What happens when you break one???? How did you know?

I found out by mistake - when i was fitting my new 3" custom exhaust. It had snapped on the left side, where the mounting is a flat piece of iron.

I drove her until the day before and she handled as she always does - nothing at all made me suspicious...

I have considered IPD, but I find it WAY to expensive to order to Denmark including freight, import-tax and 25% danish £££££££g VAT.

I thought PFV had the kits?
