I'm always the first one to say for certain parts its best to use only genuine parts - on this occasion I didn't and I wish I had...

Doh!
I agree with you, genuine parts are always the best option. That's not to say that I won't save a bob or two by buying parts from the OEM but not actually branded Volvo, but nevertheless the same part.
One of the risks of buying aftermarket (pattern) parts, other than premature failure, is that they don't fit. In that respect, used parts may be a better option in some cases (not this one though).
