The story i got is that there are 5 different racks available to fit a v70 classic (850 face lift) and he was unable to get a refurbished one for my car.

My old rack was taken off the car and sent away to be refurbished. He claims that the company who refurbished the rack had sawn off the pipe and not him. I think it's bs.

At the moment i am trying to find out what i need to buy. It appears to be a long black hose with metal connector + a metal pipe...i just hope than my volvo stealer in bham has the bits in stock.

You said pipes...should i be replacing more than one?
