    and the answer is..............................£3.48 I must admit I was shocked as I'd read horror stories on this site of main dealer prices but MR King of Halesworth informed me that Volvo dont charge labour for bulb changes just for the bulbs! PS Seems like a few of you have had your fingers burnt judging by your guesses

    That's good, it does look like they are over charging or bulbs either.. Halfords seem to be very expensive now.. If the service receptionists at my Local dealer weren't so far up there own §§§§ I might consider going back!!

    Nice to hear of genuine good service, could be handy info for anyone else needing bulbs changed, I wonder if that includes 'bumper off' models ?

    How's this for a guess FOC as you are such a good Customer of there's.
    Ok I know that was a bit Silly to say that 1/4 hour per side, 1 hour to book the parts out from the stores.
    1.5 hours.
    I see I was a bit late on this one.
