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!

Where does the strut fit? Is it an easy DIY?

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!

[QUOTE=splatt]across the front suspension turrets in the engine bay and yes..[/QUOTE] Easy with a spanner and a screwdriver or easy with a set of spring compressors, a car lift and an airdriver?
