Ok so yesterday went to the parts department of my local Volvo Dealership to get a side bulb and also ordered Sat Nav Update Disc., and in the conversation i mentioned that i would pop in and collect the sat nav disc on Saturday, as the service department was replacing a drive shaft for the S60R, to which the manager piped up oh sorry the part is unavailable has the service department contacted you, to which i said no!, his colleague said well you can get aftermarket part from from e-bay and fit on Saturday, and i was taken aback a bit and said no!, i will wait a couple of weeks if i have to and get the Volvo part from sweden on back order!, and then said i would pop into the service department to find out what was going on. So the guy i deal with was off sick, and i explained the situation to a colleague in the service department and they confirmed, yep sorry can't replace the drive shaft on Saturday parts not available, but you could use aftermarket parts, again explained no i want Volvo original for a car like an R with 300bhp and 30k mileage. I was pretty taken back that Volvo would suggest aftermarket parts not just in parts department but in the service department as well, what is even more of an issue which i will take up with them is would they offer the same warranty. I DONT THINK SO
