Where the best place to get a set of over sized pistons for my 850 t5 is it a case of dealer only or are there other places.
Cheers

The only pistons you can get from Volvo/ FRF volvo are 0.40mm oversize.
These prices are from FRF volvo, main dealers are more.
5 x piston kit (piston + gudgen pin) part No. 272307 £436.06 inc vat + del
5 x rings 31330722 £155.04 inc vat + del

I'm sure I read somewhere that Sten Parner did the forged rods and pistons for around £834
Though I maybe wrong, his website has changed, but I'm sure it said rods and pistons for 8750 SEK
You would have to contact them to see what the deal is.
