VT themsleves - or your local Volvo dealer - theyre pretty much the same price and VT sell alloy OEM ones anyway. Dont get from OMP - or you'll get a left hand drive steel one and have to send it back.

Ring Hamish!

Thanks for the quick response. Have owned several volvos in the past including P1800. 2 months ago bought 1998 C70 T5 GT. Since when ahve read several scrae stories, such as heat transfer unit leaks.
Seems a lively well informed, useful, group of enthusiasts!

Easy with a spanner and a screwdriver or easy with a set of spring compressors, a car lift and an airdriver?
