There are several which look to be the same, but one or two, also apparently compatible (for 1992 Torslanda) which look quite different, e.g. this - 391962271529. The other type (as 282888587846) comes in a confusing range of prices so I'm not sure which to get. Does the first type incorporate a thermostat, for example? It looks as if it might, and it also looks to be more substantial.

Any advice gratefully received, please.
I remember changing these now and again a long time ago , they have one or two self tapping screws holding them to a bracket and the sensing probe goes through a slot into the heater casing .. Easier to do with the glove box out ! There are several alternatives around if you cannot get the correct one , have you tried your dealer who can get a lot of vital 240 parts from the volvo classic warehouse in Sweden .

how about this :
