Many thanks,

I got mine from Volvo - they were pretty cheap. Be warned, replacing these is a pain in the arse!!! It's not hard, just very awkward. It also helps if you have a helper. I ended up getting my 9-year old son to apply pressure inwards from the inside of the wheel well while I leaned into the engine bay from the top to lift the inside lip of the dust-boot on with a small 90deg metal pick. I'm pretty sure that my neighbours heard a couple of f-bombs coming from my drive on that Saturday morning. My son also increased his own arsenal of swear words, no doubt.
